Iyanla Vanzant

Hello, my beautiful souls, the queens and kings reading this article. It’s me, Wintress Patrice, your Certified NLP Life Coach and founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC.

Reflect on this profound quote by the sage-like Iyanla Vanzant, “What you tell yourself about yourself, about your life, about your limitations, you will believe.” Such a simple yet powerful message to remind us of the influence of our thoughts on our realities. The stories we tell ourselves, the narratives we choose to live by, all become the bedrock of our lives.

At the core of this understanding is the notion of self-love and self-care. How we perceive ourselves, how we speak to ourselves when no one is listening – that is the crux of our personal relationship with our own being. Self-love is about embracing who you are, flaws and all, while self-care is the act of nourishing that love daily through our actions. Both are critical to our well-being and to the cultivation of a harmonious life.

One essential element in this journey is positive self-talk. The narratives we construct for ourselves are crucial in shaping our realities. Speaking words of love, encouragement, and power to ourselves is a surefire way to foster self-love. When we speak life into our existence, we uplift ourselves, setting the foundation for a healthier, more loving relationship with ourselves.

As an NLP Life Coach, I utilize Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to assist you in rewriting your life’s story. NLP is a powerful modality that involves understanding the relationship between our thoughts, language, and behaviors. By manipulating these elements, we can transform negative patterns into positive ones.

But it doesn’t stop at NLP. There are numerous life coaching modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Coaching, Solution-Focused Coaching, and others, that can guide you on this journey of self-discovery and self-forgiveness. It’s a journey that’s unique to every individual, and using the right tools can make a world of difference.

If you’re starting or struggling on your journey, don’t hesitate to reach out. IAWP Life Coaching is here to assist you. Whether it’s the process of self-love, self-care, or positive self-talk, we’re here to guide you. Remember, the first step is often the hardest, but once you take it, the path becomes clearer.

Hello, Beautiful Souls, Queens and Kings, this is Wintress Patrice, your Certified NLP Life Coach, and Founder of IAWP Life Coaching, LLC. I’d love to illuminate your path today, drawing on the wisdom of Iyanla Vanzant, who said, “Forgiveness fosters growth, learning, and healing.”

Forgiveness is a vital catalyst for personal transformation. The process starts by understanding its true essence – it’s not about letting the other person off the hook, but about freeing yourself from the chains of resentment, anger, and guilt that hinder your progress and growth.

The first step on this transformative journey is to practice self-love and self-care. Self-love is more than just liking yourself; it’s about respecting and accepting who you are, flaws and all. It’s a continuous process of nurturing your mind, body, and spirit.

Self-care, a subset of self-love, involves taking conscious actions to promote your overall well-being. This could be taking a relaxing bath, going for a run, reading a book, or meditating – anything that helps you feel rejuvenated and grounded.

The next crucial step is self-forgiveness. There’s no denying that we all make mistakes, but holding on to guilt and regret only stunts our growth. Let’s not forget, we are humans, designed to learn from our experiences, not to dwell in the past. This is where self-forgiveness comes in – it’s about learning from our missteps, making amends where necessary, and moving forward.

IAWP Life Coaching provides the tools, resources, and support you need to navigate this journey of self-forgiveness. We offer a range of life coaching modalities, including shadow work, which can help you face and integrate those parts of your personality that you have denied or hidden.

Shadow work is a transformative process that helps you discover your hidden aspects and bring them to light. By confronting and integrating these “shadow” parts, you learn to accept yourself fully and foster wholeness. It’s challenging, yes, but the growth and self-awareness you gain make it all worthwhile.

Aside from shadow work, we also offer NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), a behavioral technology that helps you understand and change your thought patterns and behaviors to achieve your desired outcomes.

On your journey to self-forgiveness, remember this: It’s okay to ask for help. No one expects you to do it alone. Whether you’re just starting or struggling on your path, IAWP Life Coaching is here for you. Book a free 30-minute consultation on www.WintressPatrice.com to discover how we can assist you.

Another excellent resource is the Queen Talk Only (QTO) Podcast. Season 2, themed “Embrace Your Crown, Empower Your Reign,” is packed with interviews, practical tips, and techniques that inspire and empower you to live your best life.

Sending you all love, light, and empowering vibes. May you continue to embrace your crown, empower your reign, and rise above all challenges that come your way.

I find great joy in guiding you through your unique journeys, reminding you that you are human, and that’s not only okay but profoundly beautiful.

Iyanla Vanzant, a source of wisdom and an inspiration for us all, once stated, “Do not allow yesterday’s garbage to influence your experience today. It is unnecessary to punish yourself for being human.” Her words are a stark reminder that every dawn brings a clean slate, that we must forgive ourselves and permit the glorious sun of self-love and self-care to rise within us.

Often, we carry the burdens of our past, letting them cast a dark shadow over our present. The mistakes we made, the missteps we took – these should not define us. We are not the sum of our errors, but the multiplication of our efforts to grow. Remember, my dearest ones, we are humans, not perfect beings. Embrace your humanity. Embrace your flaws. They are the patches that make your quilt of life colorful and unique.

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
