Today’s teaching was about ending mental exhaustion by releasing what was never in our control to begin with. Trying to control people, outcomes, and situations keeps our minds in constant overdrive. It trains us to anticipate reactions, replay conversations, and carry responsibilities that aren’t ours. That isn’t strength—it’s survival mode. We learned the difference between control and responsibility. You cannot control: • Other people’s behavior • Their emotions or choices • Timing or outcomes But you can control: • Your thoughts • Your responses • Your boundaries • Your effort • Your integrity When we focus on what’s outside our power, we leak energy. When we focus on what’s within our power, we build clarity, peace, and capacity. This is how we show up as the best version of ourselves in 2026—not exhausted, not overextended, but grounded, present, and aligned. Today’s reminder: Control exhausts you. Clarity restores you. Release the rest.

My default is FAITH not fear!!!!🙌

Today’s teaching challenged us to confront the mindset of settling—not as a personality flaw, but as a learned agreement with less. We explored how settling often disguises itself as peace, patience, or gratitude, when in reality it is resignation born from fatigue or fear. Settling asks, “What can I tolerate?” while an abundance mindset asks, “Is this aligned with who I’m becoming?” We broke down the difference between survival thinking and wealth thinking, identifying where we may have lowered our expectations to avoid discomfort. Through guided journaling and declarations, we made a conscious decision to stop negotiating with less and to realign with growth, expansion, and purpose.

Today’s session focused on identifying and releasing people-pleasing—the quiet habit of prioritizing others’ expectations over our own peace, truth, and well-being. We explored how people-pleasing often begins as survival, not weakness, and how it silently drains our energy, confidence, and clarity. Through the story of Eleanor Roosevelt, we saw how even one of the most influential women in history struggled with approval, silenced her own voice, and eventually reached a turning point. When she stopped living for others’ expectations and began honoring her convictions, her impact grew—not shrank. Key takeaways: - People-pleasing is learned, and it can be unlearned - Boundaries are not rejection—they are self-respect - Saying “no” is not selfish; it is honest - Your worth is not measured by how much you do for others We practiced: - Setting one small, intentional boundary - Reframing “no” as an act of self-honor - Daily affirmations to detach self-worth from approval
