10 Personal Development Books by Black Authors to Inspire Your Growth
I’m a voracious reader. One of my Top 5 Strengths is Input – I love collecting information.
And the books I’m drawn to most often are self-help and personal development books. I’ve read countless books on personal finance, spirituality, personal growth, and success. And I’ve realized something.
The personal development field has a lot of people who look the same. When I look at my bookshelves or my Audible library, there are a lot of white, male faces.
And that’s not always the perspective I want to hear.
It’s important to be intentional about who we learn from, whose perspectives we listen to, and whose lessons enrich our lives.
How to Create Your Own Spiritual Retreat
Living your purpose and being of service to others is an incredible expression of your destiny and your reason for being on this Earth.
And, if you’re putting yourself last to take care of everyone else, you know it can also take a toll on your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health.
Remember: “you can’t pour from an empty cup.”
To continue to show up and serve others as the most authentic and powerful you, it’s important to take time to refresh your mind, replenish your soul, and rejuvenate your body.
One of the best ways to do that is with an at-home spiritual retreat.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to attend a spiritual retreat in a beautiful location, away from the demands of my busy life. But that’s not always possible during a pandemic!
An at-home spiritual retreat is a way to build a connection with God/Spirit/Universe through self-reflection, self-tending, and spiritual activities.
Letter to My Future Self, Who Changed the World
You made it! You’re traveling the world and living your dream life. Remember back in 2016 when you first dreamed of this moment? Remember sitting in your blue paisley chair visualizing how it would feel to make an impact on millions of lives?
You inspire women across the world to believe in themselves and have the confidence to pursue their goals. You teach women in Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand the skills they need to start their own business. Many underserved communities benefit from your work.
As you know, this didn’t happen overnight. The road to success was not an easy one; there were potholes, pitfalls, ditches, sudden turns.
What to do when you feel uninspired
We’ve all had those days where we feel like we’re floating through time: struggling to start a project, lacking the motivation to get out of bed, facing a blank screen without a clue what to write.
That’s where I am this week. Sometimes, when I feel stuck like this, I don’t even know what day it is!
It can be difficult to pull ourselves out of the cycle of overwhelm, confusion and disinterest.
The good news is that there are simple things we can do to give our brains a break and let inspiration flow naturally.
