“The Power of Self-Prioritization: My Personal Journey & the Value of Life Coaching”

By Wintress Patrice

“I don’t have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that’s not my job.” 

Jada Pinkett Smith

Hello Beautiful Souls,

Wintress Patrice here, your Certified NLP Life Coach and founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. It’s an absolute delight to engage with you once more and to continue our collective journey towards personal growth and emotional wellbeing.

There comes a moment in our lives where we find ourselves at a crossroads. One path is often riddled with responsibilities and expectations from others, while the other path, less traveled, invites you to center your own needs and aspirations. This juncture is not a simple one to navigate, but the choice we make here is vital for our emotional wellbeing.

For me, that moment arrived in a quote I stumbled upon one day, a simple but powerful statement by Jada Pinkett Smith: “I don’t have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that’s not my job.” Her words struck a chord within me. Like many of you, I spent years believing that my value came from being a source of stability, support, and solutions for others. Yet, in doing so, I realized that I was neglecting the most important person – me.

When the reality of this self-neglect dawned on me, it didn’t come with shame or regret, but rather, it inspired me to change my course, it compelled me to prioritize my well-being. This profound realization was the moment I began my journey towards self-love, self-acceptance, and self-discovery. It was the moment I recognized that sometimes the person who needs saving most is yourself.

And so, the seed for IAWP Life Coaching was planted.

Here at IAWP, we recognize the importance of personal well-being. Our mission is to empower you to step off the often chaotic carousel of life and embrace the power of self-care. Our coaching sessions are designed to help you discover and explore your innermost feelings, desires, and aspirations. We believe that it is only through understanding ourselves deeply, we can start to nurture our emotional wellbeing and navigate life with increased confidence, courage, and clarity.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation? Are you ready to prioritize your emotional wellbeing and embrace the power of self-care? If your answer is yes, then IAWP Life Coaching, LLC is here for you.

Now is the time to stop trying to save everyone else and start saving you.

Unleashing the Power Within: The Significance of Shadow Work

by Wintress Patrice

“Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change.”

Iyanla Vanzant

Hello Beautiful Souls, this is Wintress Patrice, your Certified NLP Life Coach and the Founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. Today, I want to talk to you about an area of self-improvement often neglected but immensely powerful—shadow work. This form of self-discovery might be challenging, but its transformative potential is immense.

Shadow work refers to delving into the parts of ourselves we typically hide or ignore—our “darkness.” These are the parts of us we may not like or feel comfortable with—the insecurities, the unhealed wounds, the fears, and the suppressed emotions. This concept is rooted in Jungian psychology, where the ‘shadow self’ refers to the unconscious aspects of the personality which our conscious ego does not identify with.

Confronting our shadow can feel uncomfortable. After all, it’s much easier to live in the light, acknowledging only the parts of ourselves we appreciate and like. However, by only living in the light, we’re only acknowledging half of who we are. The quote by Iyanla Vanzant beautifully captures this sentiment: “Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change.”

Now, why is shadow work important, you might ask? Here’s why: Embracing our shadow side can lead to profound personal growth and understanding. Shadow work:

  1. Encourages Self-Acceptance: By confronting and understanding our shadows, we learn to accept ourselves wholly—both our strengths and weaknesses. This acceptance fosters a sense of completeness and internal harmony.
  2. Promotes Emotional Healing: Many of our shadows are tied to past traumas or emotional pain. By bringing them into the light, we allow for healing to occur.
  3. Fuels Personal Growth: Understanding our shadow side can lead to a deeper self-awareness and personal growth. It can reveal what needs to change within us, helping us break free from old patterns and embrace our full potential.
  4. Enhances Relationships: When we understand our shadows, we can communicate our needs and boundaries more effectively. This understanding can dramatically improve our relationships with others.

Shadow work, however, is not something to be undertaken lightly. It requires a high degree of self-honesty and courage. And this is where professional guidance can make a significant difference.

At IAWP Life Coaching, we offer specialized shadow work sessions, guiding you through this journey of self-discovery. Our comprehensive approach, combined with Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques, ensures you have the tools to navigate your inner world safely and effectively.

We are here to support you every step of the way as you bravely dive into your shadow side. Together, we can bring light to the darkness and facilitate transformative changes in your life.

Are you ready to embrace your complete self? Are you ready to step into your power? If yes, then I invite you to embark on this transformative journey with us. Remember, it’s your willingness to look at your darkness that will truly empower you to change.

Beautiful Souls, don’t forget to like, share, save, comment and follow @Wintress Patrice on Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Let’s build a community of empowered individuals, ready to embrace their shadows and radiate light.

And remember, in the journey of life, you are not alone. At IAWP Life Coaching, we walk beside you, guiding you towards a brighter, more fulfilled self.

As Always, Light & Love,
Wintress Patrice xoxo

Harnessing the Power of Positive Self-Talk: Be Your Own Cheerleader

By Wintress Patrice

“Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.”

Alice Walker

Dear Beautiful Souls,

This is Wintress Patrice, Certified NLP Life Coach, and founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. As your guide on the journey to self-love and enlightenment, I want to share with you a profound quote from Alice Walker that I believe to be a cornerstone of our journey:

“Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself.”

In these simple words, Alice Walker beautifully captured the essence of self-reliance, emotional independence, and the power of positive self-talk.

How often have we caught ourselves waiting for someone else’s validation to feel successful or happy? How many times have we underestimated our abilities just because someone else failed to recognize them? If we all learn to be our own cheerleaders, we step away from external validation and embark on a journey to authentic self-realization and happiness.

The Power of Positive Self-Talk

When we talk about being your own cheerleader, positive self-talk becomes an essential tool. But what is it? Simply put, it’s the dialogue that goes on in your mind. It’s the voice that knows your strengths, acknowledges your efforts, and encourages you to keep going, regardless of the circumstances.

We all carry two voices within us – one that uplifts us and another that questions our worth. The balance of power between these voices is the key to personal growth. When we feed positive self-talk, we enable the uplifting voice to drown out the doubter.

Think of your mind as a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. When you plant positive thoughts, you cultivate a garden filled with resilience, self-love, and happiness. Just as a gardener nurtures their plants with water and sunlight, your positive thoughts need to be fed with affirmative self-talk and the right mindset.

How Can IAWP Life Coaching Help?

At IAWP Life Coaching, LLC, we take pride in empowering individuals to become their own cheerleaders. We believe that by harnessing the power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), we can help you reprogram your thought patterns and develop a new, positive narrative about yourself.

As an NLP Life Coach, I will guide you to understand your thought process better, identify self-defeating thoughts, and replace them with self-affirming beliefs. With personalized coaching, you will learn to appreciate yourself more, increase self-confidence, and develop a lasting positive outlook.

Join the Journey

To all the beautiful souls out there looking to turn the page and write a new chapter in their lives, remember – you are your own cheerleader. Your happiness is yours to create.

Join me and countless others on this path to self-fulfillment and happiness. Like, share, and save this post if it resonated with you and leave a comment to share your thoughts. Let’s build a community of positive thinkers together.

Also, don’t forget to follow me, Wintress Patrice, on Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Together, we can continue to explore and promote the life-affirming benefits of positive self-talk and cheerleading ourselves towards our dreams.

Thank you for taking the time to read and share this journey with me.

The Power of Positive Self-Talk in Shaping Your Destiny

By Wintress Patrice

“There’s always something to suggest that you’ll never be who you wanted to be. Your choice is to take it or keep on moving.”

Phylicia Rashad.

“Hello, beautiful souls! This is Wintress Patrice, a certified NLP Life Coach, and the founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. In our journey together, we’ll delve into the magic of our mind’s internal dialogue and how it can shape our destiny. Remember, “There’s always something to suggest that you’ll never be who you wanted to be. Your choice is to take it or keep on moving.” – Phylicia Rashad.

Our minds are powerful instruments that can either propel us toward our dreams or hold us back. Self-talk, the internal monologue that constantly runs in our heads, plays a pivotal role in this dynamic. The type of self-talk you engage in, whether positive or negative, directly influences the choices you make and ultimately the life you lead.

Think about a time you were presented with a challenging task, one that seemed insurmountable at first glance. Your mind probably buzzed with thoughts like “This is too difficult” or “I’m not good enough.” But imagine if instead, you told yourself, “I’ve faced challenges before, and I’ve overcome them” or “I have the skills and resources to handle this.” This shift to positive self-talk can make the difference between taking a step back or forging ahead.

Positive self-talk is not about creating an unrealistic bubble of happiness, but about nurturing a healthy mindset that empowers you to confront challenges confidently and seize opportunities. It’s about recognizing your inherent worth, abilities, and potential, even in the face of obstacles. And in my work as a life coach, I have seen the transformative impact of this change in self-talk on individuals from all walks of life.

At IAWP Life Coaching, we provide a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their self-talk and its impact on their lives. Our coaching services are tailored to each individual’s needs and goals, ranging from personal growth and career advancement to relationship enrichment and health and wellness improvement. We use Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, a powerful psychological tool, to help clients understand and reframe their self-talk. Our ultimate goal is to empower you to choose your narrative and steer your life in the direction you wish it to go.

Life is full of challenges and choices, but remember, “Your choice is to take it or keep on moving.” So, let’s keep moving towards a future where we can be the best versions of ourselves, fueled by positive self-talk and the will to be who we wanted to be.

If you’re interested in exploring the world of positive self-talk, or if you’re seeking a supportive community to navigate life’s ups and downs, I invite you to connect with us. Like, share, save, comment, and follow @Wintress Patrice on Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn. Stay tuned for empowering content, life-changing tips, and heart-warming stories.

Together, we can create a ripple effect of positivity and transformation. Because every step towards self-improvement doesn’t just benefit us, but also the world around us.

As always, I send you light and love. Here’s to becoming the best versions of ourselves!

By Wintress Patrice

“You are on the eve of a complete victory. You can’t go wrong. The world is behind you.”

Living in the Now: Embrace the Wisdom of Your Journey

by Wintress Patrice

Hello Beautiful Souls, I am Wintress Patrice, a Certified NLP Life Coach and the proud founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. Today, I want to share with you a quote from an inspiring woman whose words have been a beacon of light on my own life journey: “Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.” – Oprah Winfrey.

Our journey through life is often marked by various milestones and societal expectations that keep us focused on the future. From a young age, we’re so busy concentrating on what we should be, where we should be, and how we should live. We’re continuously running in a race against time, hoping to reach our desired destinations, that we often forget to cherish the moments we’re living in.

However, as we grow older, around our 40s and 50s, we begin to look back at our younger years with a sense of reflection. We ponder about what we could have done differently, the opportunities we missed, and the decisions we made. While reflection is a healthy exercise for growth, we must be careful not to get stuck in the quagmire of “what was.”

Instead, let’s celebrate the journey that has led us to where we are today. Embrace the present, appreciate the lessons, and cherish the blessings that have brought us to this very moment. Every challenge we faced, every stumble we made, they all contributed to the reservoir of wisdom we now possess.

Embracing the present does not mean forgetting the past. It simply means acknowledging the past for what it was – a chapter in your life that shaped you into who you are now. Let’s use the wisdom gained from our past to enlighten our present and inspire the next generation.

At IAWP Life Coaching, we understand that life is a constant journey of growth and self-discovery. Our mission is to help you navigate through your unique journey, discover your inner strength, unlock your potential, and ultimately, guide you towards a life of fulfillment and purpose.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, yearning for a change, or simply looking for guidance, we’re here to support you. Let us help you turn your experiences into wisdom, transform your challenges into opportunities, and illuminate your path towards a brighter future.

I invite you to embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation with IAWP Life Coaching. It’s never too late to start living in the moment and make every moment count.

I welcome you to join our community, where we share uplifting content, inspiring stories, and invaluable life lessons. Please Like, Share, Save, and Comment on our posts and follow @Wintress Patrice on Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

Let’s walk this path together, nurturing our souls, expanding our minds, and illuminating our lives with wisdom and love. Every step you take brings you closer to becoming the best version of yourself.

As always, I send you Light & Love. Let’s embrace this beautiful journey we call life, one moment at a time.

“The Gentle Nudge of the Universe: Are You Ready to Move?”

By Wintress Patrice, Certified NLP Life Coach, and Founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC

“It’s time for you to move, realizing that the thing you are seeking is also seeking you.” — Iyanla Vanzant

Throughout life, we often find ourselves standing at the precipice of significant change. Our instincts whisper, the universe nudges, and yet, we hesitate. Why? Simply put, because change is intimidating. It’s easier to stick with the familiar, to cozy up with complacency, and to seek solace in the known. We may feel trapped within the confines of comfort, unable to venture into the wild terrain of the unknown. Yet, within this very struggle, lies our potential for growth and transformation.

Throughout my journey, I’ve faced numerous life-changing situations. I recall countless times when the universe signaled me that it was time to move. Time to let go of the safety net, time to step into uncharted territory, time to risk the security of the familiar for the promise of something more fulfilling. Yet, too often, I chose the security of the known over the potential of the unknown.

Our comfort zone may feel safe, but it can often feel like a cage too – confining us to the mundanity of familiarity, where personal growth is stifled and dreams are buried. But there’s something else, a voice inside, a beckoning, whispering that our happiness is just a leap away. To bridge the gap from ‘what was’ to ‘what can be’, we must embrace the power of movement. As I’ve often said, “Following your dreams will require you to move.”

The universe has a gentle way of guiding us, hinting at the beautiful possibilities that can unfurl when we listen to our internal compass. Each nudge, each whisper is an invitation towards a more fulfilling life, towards dreams realized and potential achieved.

So, are you ready to move?

At IAWP Life Coaching, LLC, we understand the courage it takes to step into the unknown. Our aim is to make this journey less daunting and more empowering for you. As a Certified NLP Life Coach, I specialize in providing the skills, tools, and confidence you need to heed the call of the universe. I help Beautiful Souls like you break free from the chains of comfort and complacency, guiding you towards a journey of self-discovery and personal fulfillment.

The universe is signaling. It’s time for you to move, realizing that the thing you are seeking is also seeking you. Your dreams await, and together, we can navigate this journey towards your most fulfilling life.

If this message resonates with you, I invite you to explore our services at www.WintressPatrice.com and begin your journey towards change. Follow me, Wintress Patrice, on Facebook, TikTok, and LinkedIn to stay updated on helpful insights and life coaching tips. I encourage you to like, share, save, and comment on our posts, spreading the light and love to others who may also be standing at the precipice of change.

Remember, it’s never too late to heed the gentle nudges of the universe. It’s never too late to take that leap of faith. It’s never too late to move.

As Always, Light & Love,

Wintress Patrice xoxo

Unconditional Self-Love: Daily Practices and the Power of Positive Self-Talk

By: Wintress Patrice, Certified NLP Life Coach

For many of us, the notion of self-love sounds simple in theory, but in practice, it becomes an entirely different story. We might conceptualize it as being gentle with ourselves, celebrating our accomplishments, or avoiding self-deprecation. Yet, unconditional self-love extends beyond these understandings and permeates our daily interactions, thoughts, and feelings about ourselves. It is a state where we love and accept ourselves in totality, free from any conditions or self-imposed expectations.

What Unconditional Self-Love Looks Like

Unconditional self-love is a constant, unwavering appreciation of oneself, irrespective of any perceived flaws or failures. This affection for self does not fluctuate based on external circumstances or personal achievements; it remains consistent.

On a daily basis, it may look like:

  1. Acceptance: You appreciate yourself in your entirety, acknowledging and embracing your strengths, weaknesses, successes, and failures alike.
  2. Kindness: You treat yourself with the same kindness and compassion that you would extend to a loved one. You understand that everyone has bad days and that those days don’t define your worth.
  3. Respect: You respect your body, your feelings, your time, and your energy, setting boundaries to safeguard your mental, emotional, and physical health.
  4. Patience: You give yourself the space to grow, understanding that personal development is a journey and not a race.
  5. Forgiveness: You forgive yourself for past mistakes, viewing them not as failures but as opportunities for growth and learning.

The Role of Positive Self-Talk

Positive self-talk is a vital part of practicing unconditional self-love daily. It represents the internal dialogue you have with yourself, where you affirm your worth, capabilities, and resilience. The thoughts you nurture have a significant impact on your mental and emotional well-being and shape your perception of self.

By choosing to engage in positive self-talk, you effectively rewire your brain to adopt a more loving and compassionate viewpoint towards yourself. Over time, this mental shift can drastically enhance your self-esteem and overall life satisfaction.

Best Practices for Unconditional Self-Love

Unconditional self-love is a skill that needs to be nurtured and developed consciously. Here are some best practices:

  1. Practice Mindfulness: Mindfulness helps you stay present and connected with your emotions and thoughts. Pay attention to your internal dialogue and observe how you talk to yourself. Are you using kind and gentle words, or are you being overly critical?
  2. Engage in Positive Self-Talk: Make a habit of speaking kindly to yourself. Use affirmations that resonate with your heart and remind you of your worth, capabilities, and resilience. For instance, say to yourself, “I am enough, just as I am,” or “I am resilient and capable of handling any challenges that come my way.”
  3. Set Healthy Boundaries: Respect yourself enough to set boundaries that protect your peace and energy. Say no when necessary and understand that you are not obliged to meet everyone’s expectations.
  4. Self-Care Rituals: Incorporate self-care practices into your daily routine. This could be a relaxing bath, a walk in nature, yoga, meditation, or any activity that rejuvenates you and helps you reconnect with yourself.
  5. Seek Professional Help: Don’t hesitate to seek professional help if self-love feels especially challenging. Therapists, life coaches, and counselors are equipped to guide you on your journey to self-love.
  6. Celebrate Your Achievements: Make time to celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small. This not only boosts your self-esteem but also reinforces the idea that you are deserving of joy and success.

Unconditional self-love is a journey that takes time and patience. The goal is to cultivate a lasting relationship with yourself, one that’s based on kindness, acceptance, and respect. So, let the journey be beautiful and enriching, and remember, you are deserving of the love that you give so freely to others. Give some to yourself, too.

Unconditional Self-Love: A Good Morning Gorgeous Awakening

By Wintress Patrice, Certified NLP Life Coach

To awaken to unconditional self-love is to wake up in a world where the first morning greeting comes not from the sun, nor from a loved one, but from the mirror’s reflection – it is your own soul saying, “Good morning, gorgeous.”

Mary J. Blige, in her enlightening song “Good Morning Gorgeous,” captures this sentiment perfectly. She sings, “I wake up every morning and tell myself ‘Good morning gorgeous.’ Sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and say, ‘Good morning gorgeous.'” This simple practice is more than just a mood booster; it’s a daily reminder of your inherent worth, beauty, and power.

Loving Yourself Unconditionally

Unconditional self-love is the ability to value oneself without any preconditions. It means accepting every part of oneself, the imperfections along with the strengths. When we love ourselves unconditionally, we see ourselves as we are, without judgment or comparison. It’s an empowering feeling that liberates us from the burdens of self-doubt and negativity.

Imagine a morning where the first voice you hear is one of acceptance and love. Imagine what it feels like to start your day knowing that you are enough, just as you are. This is the power of self-love.

Awakening to Unconditional Self-Love

To awaken to unconditional self-love, you must first recognize and confront your own self-judgments. Ask yourself: what are the conditions I’ve placed on my self-worth? Do I only see myself as worthwhile when I succeed, when others praise me, or when I fit into a certain societal mold?

In challenging these conditional perspectives, we can begin to break free from the constraints that prevent us from loving ourselves wholly. This isn’t a simple or immediate process, but it’s a journey worth embarking on.

“Good Morning, Gorgeous”

The simple act of greeting yourself with a “Good morning, gorgeous” is a powerful way to cultivate unconditional self-love. Each word in this greeting serves a purpose.

“Good morning” welcomes a new day, a fresh start. It’s a reminder that every sunrise presents us with new possibilities and opportunities for growth.

“Gorgeous” is a term of endearment typically reserved for others. By addressing yourself this way, you are acknowledging your own beauty and worth. You are choosing to see and honor the ‘gorgeous’ within you.

Manifesting Unconditional Self-Love

Manifesting unconditional self-love is a process that demands patience and kindness. Start with small acts of self-love and gradually incorporate them into your daily routine. Here are a few suggestions:

Affirmations: Like Mary J. Blige’s “Good morning, gorgeous,” use affirmations to validate your worth and beauty. Choose phrases that resonate with you and repeat them daily.

Self-Care: Prioritize physical and emotional well-being. Adopt a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and engage in activities that bring you joy and peace.

Self-Compassion: Practice forgiving yourself for mistakes and understand that everyone has flaws. Treat yourself with the same kindness you extend to others.

Boundaries: Learn to say no when needed. It’s important to protect your energy and prioritize your needs.

Gratitude: Regularly express gratitude for who you are and what you have. Acknowledging your blessings is a powerful way to boost self-love.

In closing, waking up to unconditional self-love is not an event, but a journey. It’s about making a conscious decision every morning to honor, accept, and love yourself. As Mary J. Blige says, “sometimes you gotta look in the mirror and say, ‘Good morning gorgeous.'” So, the next time you wake up, why not try it? Look in the mirror and greet the day and yourself with love and acceptance. You may be surprised at the changes this small but powerful act can bring. Embrace the journey of self-love and watch as your world begins to reflect the beauty and grace that you cultivate within.

Remember, self-love is not a destination; it’s a journey. It starts the moment you open your eyes each morning. Every day presents a new opportunity to show up for yourself, to treat yourself with kindness and understanding, and to acknowledge your inherent worth. Your journey towards unconditional self-love begins with a simple greeting, “Good morning, gorgeous.” And as you continue to affirm this to yourself every day, you will find that it becomes not just a saying, but a belief deeply ingrained in your soul. You are, indeed, gorgeous, and you deserve to be loved unconditionally – by others, and most importantly, by yourself.

Self-Esteem and the Dream Within: An Exploration of Oprah Winfrey’s Proclamation

By Wintress Patrice, Certified NLP Life Coach

The wisdom that Oprah Winfrey consistently imparts is often marked by her personal experiences and reflective insight. Her famous quote, “Self-esteem means knowing you are the dream,” is a profound testament to her understanding of the human condition and the power of self-belief. The essence of this statement, both inspiring and challenging, calls for a deeper exploration of its meaning and potential for personal growth.

At its core, the quote champions the idea that true self-esteem is not merely about perceiving oneself positively but, more crucially, acknowledging and appreciating one’s intrinsic value. This “intrinsic value” is the unique blend of talents, strengths, quirks, and potentials that each of us possesses, representing the grandeur of the ‘dream’ that we all embody. We are the dream – a poignant reminder of our potential, our worth, and our capacity for greatness.

  1. Self-Esteem: More Than Just a Feeling

Traditionally, self-esteem is viewed as a measure of how much we value ourselves. It’s an integral part of our psychological makeup and contributes significantly to our mental and emotional well-being. But what Oprah’s quote subtly hints at is that self-esteem extends beyond the self-perception realm. It is about recognizing our inherent worth, independent of external validation.

To embody the dream means to accept our unique attributes without the urge to compare ourselves with others. It’s about understanding that we are enough, complete, and deserving, irrespective of accomplishments, wealth, or societal status. High self-esteem should not be confused with narcissism or overconfidence. It’s a healthy understanding and acceptance of our authentic self, including our strengths and our flaws.

  1. You Are the Dream: Acknowledging Your Potential

When Oprah says, “knowing you are the dream,” she urges us to embrace our potential fully. The dream she refers to is not a lofty, unattainable fantasy. Instead, it’s the highest, most authentic version of ourselves that we can envision. It’s about realizing that within us lies the capacity for greatness, innovation, and transformation.

We all carry unique dreams and potentials within us. However, these remain dormant unless we believe in them and take action to realize them. That’s where self-esteem plays a vital role. When we understand and value ourselves, we become more motivated to pursue our dreams, take risks, and strive for growth and fulfillment.

  1. The Journey to ‘Being the Dream’

The process of ‘becoming the dream’ isn’t an overnight transformation. It’s a journey filled with self-discovery, acceptance, and constant growth. This journey starts with introspection and self-awareness. It requires us to assess our strengths, weaknesses, talents, aspirations, and values honestly.

Moreover, it demands resilience. Life will throw challenges, and there will be times of self-doubt and failure. But by holding onto the belief that we are the dream, we can navigate these difficult times with strength and grace.

The journey also requires patience and self-love. Change takes time, and it’s essential to celebrate small victories, forgive our mistakes, and continually encourage ourselves in the process. This constant self-nurturing boosts our self-esteem and propels us further along the path of self-realization.

Oprah’s quote is a call to action. It’s a reminder to cherish our self-worth, harness our potential, and relentlessly pursue our dreams. By internalizing this wisdom, we move closer to understanding that we are indeed the ‘dream’—complete, deserving, and brimming with potential.

Self-esteem, in this light, is not just a psychological concept; it’s a lifestyle, a personal commitment to growth and fulfillment. It’s about accepting and living our authentic selves, celebrating our uniqueness, and continually striving to be the best we can be.

So, let us remember and embrace this powerful proclamation. Let’s cultivate our self-esteem, acknowledge our intrinsic worth, and strive to fulfill the unique ‘dream’ that each of us represents. The dream is not just something we aspire to; it’s something we inherently are.

An Intimate Journey through Depression: An Illuminating Prayer

By: Wintress Patrice, Certified NLP Life Coach

In the heart of our struggles lie our most profound opportunities for growth. For many of us, our deepest, darkest times serve as fertile soil from which our greatest strengths can sprout. My own journey through depression and the road to recovery allowed me to witness this truth first-hand. And it was during these tumultuous times that I found wisdom and comfort in the words of Iyanla Vanzant: “In my deepest, darkest moments, what really got me through was a prayer. Sometimes my prayer was ‘Help me.’ Sometimes a prayer was ‘Thank you.’ What I’ve discovered is that intimate connection and communication with my creator will always get me through because I know my support, my help, is just a prayer away.”

As an NLP Life Coach, I have used my personal experiences, combined with my professional training, to guide others towards mental wellbeing. However, I believe sharing my personal battle with depression can resonate with individuals on a more profound level.

My journey through depression was a paradoxical dance between despair and hope. The gray, leaden skies of my mental state often seemed boundless, and yet, in my heart, I always retained a kernel of faith, a light that never fully extinguished. This enduring light was nurtured through prayer, which became my beacon in navigating the often stormy seas of depression.

There were times when my prayers took the form of desperate pleas for help. This was not a sign of weakness, but rather a testament to my human vulnerability. It’s essential to understand that acknowledging our struggles and seeking assistance is a courageous act. Asking for help allows us to access strength beyond our own and opens up possibilities for transformation and healing.

During these times, my prayer was simple: “Help me.” I was not merely asking for relief from my emotional pain, but for guidance and strength to navigate through my depression. This heartfelt plea symbolized my willingness to relinquish control, to admit that I could not conquer my depression single-handedly, and to lean on the divine support that was always within my reach.

On other occasions, my prayer was a gratitude-filled whisper of “Thank you.” Amidst the fog of depression, moments of clarity, joy, or even simple peace can be incredibly potent. I made it a point to acknowledge these instances and express my sincere gratitude for them. In doing so, I reminded myself that my condition did not define me, and that there were still elements of my life that sparked joy and elicited gratitude.

Prayer, in this context, served as a mindful practice of gratitude, allowing me to create a mental space that held more than just my struggles. It was a gentle reminder of the good that was interwoven with the more challenging aspects of life, an affirmation of hope in the midst of despair.

The quote from Iyanla Vanzant that has guided me throughout my journey reflects a truth that lies at the heart of many spiritual and philosophical traditions: The divine, or whatever higher power you believe in, is always accessible to us. Our creator is not distant or unapproachable but is intimately involved in our lives, ready to offer support and comfort. This intimate connection is available to us always, regardless of our circumstances.

In my darkest times, the understanding of this divine connection provided a lifeline, a reassurance that no matter how overwhelming my depression felt, help and support were just a prayer away. Through prayer, I felt the transformative power of vulnerability, surrender, and gratitude, allowing me to navigate my journey through depression with resilience and hope.

My journey with depression was a challenging chapter in my life, but it also brought me invaluable insights. It deepened my connection with my creator, enhanced my sense of empathy, and enabled me to connect with others in similar situations. It inspired me to become an NLP Life Coach, dedicating my life to helping others navigate their mental health challenges.

In the end, my depression did not define me; rather, it became a part of my story, contributing to my growth and transformation. I truly believe that our struggles can be the catalysts for our most profound growth. So, whether your prayer is a plea for help or a whisper of gratitude, remember that you are never alone in your struggles. Divine support is always just a prayer away.

Don’t Wait Until Tomorrow: Start Small Today

Hello to all my wonderful readers,

This is Wintress Patrice, your certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Life Coach and the founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. Today, I want to discuss a topic that is of particular importance and relevance to each and every one of us – procrastination, and its subtle adversary, starting small today.

We’ve all been there – we have a goal or a task, and we think, “I’ll start tomorrow.” That magical “tomorrow” seems like the perfect time to start a new diet, begin a new workout routine, apply for that dream job, or finally start writing that novel that’s been brewing in our minds. But then tomorrow comes, and we find a reason to push it off to the next day… and then the next. Before we know it, weeks or months have passed and we’ve made no progress towards our goals.

This form of procrastination is more common than you might think. We’re so used to thinking about the big picture, the final product, that we forget that any accomplishment is simply the result of numerous small steps taken over time. We’re so focused on reaching the top of the mountain that we overlook the importance of taking that first step.

Here’s the thing – perfection is not the enemy of progress, procrastination is. The “perfect time” rarely comes, and if we keep waiting for it, we’ll end up doing nothing.

Now, imagine if we chose to shift this mindset, to seize the moment and start today. Start small, but start today.

In NLP, we talk about “chunking down” tasks – breaking larger tasks into smaller, manageable pieces. By doing this, we can reduce the overwhelming nature of big goals and make it much more feasible to start today. We can bypass that paralyzing fear that so often keeps us rooted in place, unable to take that first step.

Let’s say you want to write a book. The thought of writing hundreds of pages can be daunting. But what if, instead of seeing it as a colossal task, you decide to write just one page a day? Or even just one paragraph? It’s a small step, but it’s a step nonetheless. And over time, those small steps add up to big strides.

Or perhaps you’re aiming to switch to a healthier lifestyle. Instead of waiting for Monday or the first of the month to start a complete overhaul of your diet, what if you started today by swapping out one unhealthy snack with a healthier alternative? Or by adding just 10 minutes of exercise to your day?

By reframing your approach and starting small today, you’re not only making your goal more achievable, but you’re also building momentum. Each small step taken is a win, a boost of motivation that propels you forward. And every day you stick to it, you’re forming new habits and rewriting old patterns, bringing you closer to your ultimate goal.

So stop lying to yourself about not having enough time. Time is not the issue, it’s how you choose to spend it. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, but you do have today. And it’s within your power to make today count.

You don’t have to make drastic changes all at once, and you don’t have to have it all figured out from the start. Simply begin. Begin where you are, with what you have. Break your goals into smaller tasks and take that first step. The journey may seem long, but every journey begins with a single step.

Life waits for no one, and every moment wasted is a moment we can’t get back. So don’t wait until tomorrow – start small, but start today. Remember, your future self is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.

As your life coach, I encourage you to embrace the present, seize the day and start working towards your goals, no matter how small the first step may seem.

With Love & Light,

Love Yourself Even When You Feel Unlovable: That is When You Need it the Most

Hello beautiful souls! It’s Wintress Patrice here, your Certified NLP Life Coach. Today, we are going to delve into a topic that is very close to my heart, and it’s about self-love, particularly when you feel unlovable. And yes, there are times when we all feel unlovable. Those are the moments when you need love the most, and that love should ideally come from within you.

No one on the entire planet knows what’s best for you more than you. It is you who understands your dreams, your fears, your strengths, and your weaknesses. It is you who has been there for yourself, standing through every high and weathering every low. Yet, there are moments, times when we feel unlovable, when we let ourselves down. In these vulnerable periods, it’s essential to embrace self-love as a guiding light.

What Does Self-Love Look Like?

Self-love isn’t about being selfish or narcissistic; it’s about knowing your worth and taking care of your needs. It’s about setting boundaries and taking time to replenish and nurture yourself. Self-love is celebrating your accomplishments and acknowledging your failures with understanding and kindness. It’s about accepting your imperfections while also working towards being the best version of yourself.

Feeling Unlovable

There will be moments in life when you feel unlovable. It’s almost an inevitable part of the human experience. These feelings may stem from a myriad of sources: failed relationships, disappointments at work, feeling overlooked, or personal mistakes. In these moments, it may seem like the world is a harsh, unfeeling place, and we are our own worst critics. However, it’s precisely in these periods of self-doubt and pain that self-love becomes the most crucial.

Self-love in Practice

When you feel unlovable, begin by acknowledging your feelings without judgment. Understanding that it’s okay to feel this way is the first step towards healing. Next, try to identify the root cause of these feelings. This isn’t to justify or criticize, but merely to understand better.

Then, take a step back and treat yourself with the same kindness, understanding, and patience you would show to a beloved friend. Self-compassion is a fundamental component of self-love. Engage in activities that nourish your body, mind, and soul. It could be a hot bath, reading a book, a long walk in nature, meditation, or anything that brings you peace and joy.

The Power of Affirmations

As a certified NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Life Coach, I cannot stress enough the transformative power of affirmations. During times when you feel unlovable, affirmations can help reprogram your subconscious mind, allowing you to change negative self-perceptions into positive ones. Phrases like “I am enough,” “I am lovable,” “I am deserving of love and happiness,” can have a profound impact. Repeat these affirmations to yourself every day, and watch the transformation unfold.

You Are Lovable, You Are Enough

Remember, feeling unlovable doesn’t make it a reality. Feelings are transient, and they do not define you. Even at your lowest, remember that you are deserving of love, especially from yourself.

And when you love yourself, you create a ripple effect. Self-love gives you the courage and confidence to face life’s challenges head-on. It allows you to show up authentically in the world. As you love yourself, you encourage others to do the same, and that’s when we can create a world filled with love and understanding.

As always, remember that it’s okay to seek help. As your Life Coach, I am here to guide you through your journey towards self-love and help you navigate any obstacles you may encounter.

Self-love is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, patience, and practice. But you are worth every moment spent on this journey.

You deserve to love yourself, especially when you feel unlovable. That is when you need it the most.

In closing, I send you all my love and light. Remember, you are enough, you are lovable, and you are deserving of all the beautiful things life has to offer.

With Love & Light,

The Power of Continued Action: Breaking Barriers and Overcoming Weaknesses


Hello and welcome back, lovely souls! This is Wintress Patrice, your dedicated and Certified NLP Life Coach, and founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC.

Today, I want to delve into a topic that is essential to progress and personal growth: The force of continued action and the importance of identifying and overcoming your weaknesses. It’s an essential principle that I believe, when fully embraced, can make all the difference on our journey to self-improvement and success.

In the realm of personal and professional development, consistency is the key. The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This philosophy speaks to the power of continued action. It’s not the grand, occasional efforts that lead us to our goals; rather, it’s the small, consistent steps that get us there. The force of continued action is like a river that, over time, carves valleys out of mountains. It’s the relentless, repetitive motion that breaks barriers, not sporadic exertions.

Each one of us has a unique set of strengths and weaknesses. While it’s important to leverage our strengths, we often overlook our weaknesses, which can lead to barriers in our journey. Acknowledging your weaknesses is not about diminishing your self-worth. On the contrary, it’s about self-awareness and personal growth. It’s about understanding yourself more deeply and creating a robust defense against the obstacles that can hinder your progress.

Once we have identified our weaknesses, it’s crucial to develop strategies to manage them effectively. For instance, if procrastination is a weakness, a good strategy might be to create a detailed daily schedule, breaking down tasks into manageable chunks. If you find that you’re easily distracted, carving out a quiet, dedicated workspace could be beneficial. Whatever your weaknesses, know that they do not define you; rather, they are opportunities for growth and improvement.

But here comes the tricky part: maintaining our promises to ourselves amidst these distractions. It’s easy to make promises, but when faced with challenges or distractions, it’s equally easy to let those promises slip away. This is where self-discipline comes into play. Developing self-discipline is like building a muscle – it requires consistent effort and practice.

When distractions try to pull you away from your path, it’s time to put up a fight and defend your promises to yourself. Remind yourself why you made those promises in the first place. Revisit your goals, your dreams, and the vision you have for your life. Stay committed and stay strong. Know that each time you successfully defend your promises, you’re taking one more step towards achieving your goals and becoming the best version of yourself.

In the end, remember that every step, every action counts. Consistency is the silent force that drives us to our desired destinations. Identifying and managing our weaknesses empowers us to stay on track. And when distractions try to lure us away, we have the strength and the courage to defend our promises to ourselves, no matter what.

I hope you have found some insight in today’s blog post. Our journey may be challenging, but remember, the road to success is always under construction. Keep pushing forward and stay committed to your dreams. The power is in your hands.

Sending you all love and light. Stay strong, stay beautiful, and keep going!

With Love & Light,

Respecting Yourself: Listening to Your Body and Emotions to Achieve Your Goals


Greetings! I am Wintress Patrice, a Certified NLP Life Coach and founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. Today, I’d like to engage you in an enlightening conversation about an essential aspect of personal growth and development – respecting oneself.

In our society, we often equate respect with outward-facing behaviors: how we treat others, the actions we take in our community, the way we conduct ourselves professionally. These are indeed integral elements of respect. However, we must not forget that respect also begins from within, in the way we treat ourselves.

Respecting yourself means listening to your body and emotions continuously. It involves a keen understanding and genuine acknowledgment of your physical, emotional, and mental needs. Your body and your feelings are more than just components of your existence; they’re barometers that gauge your overall wellness.

Our bodies speak to us in various ways. Tiredness, energy, aches, comfort, discomfort, all these sensations, when properly deciphered, give us insight into our physical health and emotional state. When we ignore our bodies, when we push beyond our limits without adequate rest or nourishment, we’re not respecting ourselves. We’re effectively silencing a conversation that our bodies desperately want to engage in for our own well-being.

Similarly, our emotions are not merely reactions to situations; they’re also signals about what’s happening inside us and how we relate to the world around us. Fear, joy, sadness, excitement, anger – each emotion carries a message. Respect means acknowledging these emotions, understanding their roots, and processing them healthily. It is about maintaining an open dialogue with your feelings, listening without judgment, and acting appropriately.

Listening to your body and emotions doesn’t mean acting impulsively, nor does it equate to indulging every desire. Instead, it suggests a mindful approach where you assess your feelings and physical cues to make informed decisions about your well-being.

Acting beyond a linear logic plays a crucial role in this process. Traditional, linear thinking might encourage us to suppress our feelings or ignore our body’s signals in the pursuit of our goals. However, this approach can lead to burnout, emotional distress, and ultimately, hinder our progress.

To respect ourselves and achieve our goals, we must incorporate a non-linear approach. This involves understanding that our journey towards our goals isn’t always a straightforward path. There will be detours, pauses, and reroutes – and that’s perfectly okay. It’s about embracing the uncertainty and the ups and downs, knowing that each step, no matter how small, is progress.

Understanding and respecting our body and emotions help us build resilience and foster a strong, positive relationship with ourselves. It allows us to better navigate challenges, recover from setbacks, and stay focused on our goals, reinforcing that the journey towards those goals is just as important as the destination itself.

Incorporate mindful practices like meditation, journaling, yoga, or simple self-reflection into your daily routine. These can help you listen to your body and understand your emotions more effectively. Remember to seek professional help if you find it difficult to manage your emotions or physical well-being.

In conclusion, respecting yourself by listening to your body and emotions is a critical step in achieving your goals. It promotes a holistic approach to personal growth and well-being, taking you beyond linear thinking. Embrace the journey, cherish every step, and remember, it’s not just about where you’re going, but also how you get there.

Thank you for being here with me on this journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I hope this message encourages you to treat yourself with the respect you deserve and enables you to forge a more compassionate and mindful path towards your goals.
