Flow State: Trust the Process and Keep Moving

"I be in a flow state, flow state... everything is okay, okay..." 🎶
If you've listened to Londrell's "Flow State," you know exactly what I'm talking about.
But what is a flow state?
To me, a flow state is choosing a mindset where you stop trying to control everything and instead trust the journey. You stay present, accept both the highs and the lows, and keep moving forward.
I've talked about this before in previous blogs.
The past has already happened.
The future hasn't arrived.
The only place we truly have any power is right now.
That wasn't always easy for me.
If I didn't get a job, I'd replay the interview over and over.
"What could I have said differently?"
"What did I do wrong?"
Or maybe a family member I was close to suddenly stopped talking to me.
I'd spend days wondering...
"Did I say something?"
"Did I offend them?"
I'd overthink everything.
Then one day during meditation, something clicked.
It was like my higher self gently reminded me...
"You didn't get the job because it wasn't meant for you."
"You already saw the red flags. The pay wasn't right, and the interviewer wasn't respectful. It wouldn't have been a healthy environment."
Then came another realization.
"That family member? They had their own issues. Their silence wasn't about your worth."
A year later, I found out there had indeed been conversations happening behind my back.
And you know what?
I didn't need revenge.
I didn't need answers.
I just needed to trust that what no longer served me was being removed from my life.
Sometimes we fight so hard to hold onto people, jobs, or situations that aren't meant for us.
Meanwhile, life is quietly making room for something better.
That's what "flow state" means to me.
It doesn't mean pretending everything is perfect.
It means believing that even when life feels uncertain, everything is going to be okay.
Sometimes what feels like rejection is actually protection.
Sometimes what feels like loss is actually growth.
And sometimes the Universe is simply helping us let go of what we've been holding onto for far too long.
I love listening to Flow State because it's more than a song.
It's an affirmation.
A reminder that my subconscious is always listening to the words I repeat.
So why not feed it something hopeful?
Take a moment today.
Pause.
Breathe.
Trust yourself.
Trust the process.
Let life flow.
Growth isn't always comfortable, but that's exactly what makes it growth.
So instead of getting stuck...
Flow and grow.
I'd love to hear from you.
Have you ever looked back and realized that something you thought was a setback was actually leading you toward something better?
Share your thoughts in the comments.
And if this blog encouraged you, share it with someone you love and care about. You never know who might need the reminder that everything really is going to be okay.

Energy Vampires: Are You Protecting Your Peace?
Godd3ss Aisha
True Story
If you follow me on social media, you've probably seen me talk about energy vampires and the importance of protecting your peace.
So...what exactly is an energy vampire?
You might know one.
Or...
You might be one and not even realize it. 👀
Now, don't get me wrong—life is going to life. We all have difficult seasons, and sometimes we genuinely need someone to listen. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for support.
I'm talking about the people who seem to find negativity in every positive conversation. The ones who always have another sad story, another crisis, another complaint, and somehow leave everyone around them feeling emotionally exhausted.
A few years ago, I worked with someone like that.
I'm naturally an empathetic person. I don't mind listening, encouraging people, or sharing my own experiences if it helps someone else.
But every conversation with this person followed the same pattern.
She'd come to me feeling defeated.
I'd spend time encouraging her.
She'd walk away feeling better...
And somehow, I'd walk away feeling worse. 😔
She went on with her day, while I spent mine carrying emotions that weren't even mine.
It was like clockwork.
She felt lighter.
I felt drained.
Was she doing it on purpose?
Probably not.
But intentional or not, the effect on me was the same.
At first, I joked that maybe I should run the other way every time I saw her coming.
"Not today, Satan!" 🏃🏾♀️💨😂
Instead, I realized something much healthier.
I could care...
Without carrying.
The next time she came to me with another difficult situation, I simply said,
"I'm so sorry you're going through that. I'll keep you in my prayers."
That was it.
Short.
Kind.
Honest.
Some people may think that's rude.
I don't.
That's called protecting your peace.
Helping others should never require sacrificing your own emotional well-being.
Healthy boundaries aren't selfish.
They're necessary.
If someone's negativity constantly leaves you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained, it may be time to step back a little.
That doesn't mean you stop caring.
It simply means you stop carrying what isn't yours to carry.
Now, here's where I have to be honest...
At one point, I was the energy vampire.
Not intentionally.
When I was hurting, I wanted everyone around me to understand my pain. I vented to anyone who would listen, hoping they'd understand what I was going through.
After I got it off my chest...
I felt better.
But they didn't.
They were still upset, replaying my problems in their minds.
I had unknowingly passed my emotional weight onto someone else.
Today, I handle things differently.
I still talk things through—but with two trusted Goddesses.
I journal.
I meditate.
I pray.
I breathe.
Those practices help me process my emotions without placing them on everyone around me.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with venting.
Just be mindful of how often you do it, who you're doing it with, and whether you're also taking steps to process those emotions in healthy ways.
Because emotions are contagious.
So I'll leave you with one question...
Are you protecting your peace...or unintentionally draining someone else's?
I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
If this blog spoke to you, share it with someone you love and care about. You never know who might need the reminder that it's okay to care deeply while still protecting your own peace.
Until next time...
Peace, Love & Light. 💚
The Four Agreements: Four Simple Principles That Can Change Your Life
Godd3ss Aisha
True Story...
I remember the first time someone recommended The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz.
My first thought was...
"That book is so thin...what could he possibly have written in so few pages that's considered life-changing?" 🤔😂
So I opened it.
And I started reading.
As I made my way through each chapter, I found myself asking...
"Does this even apply to me?"
(My ego answered first. 😉)
Then I realized...
Oh yes.
It absolutely does.
The Four Agreements are simple:
💚 Be Impeccable With Your Word (Be honest and speak with integrity.)
💚 Don't Take Anything Personally
💚 Don't Make Assumptions
💚 Always Do Your Best
At first glance, you might think,
"I already do those things."
👀
But...
Do you really?
Think about this.
Have you ever talked to someone who's normally cheerful, but one day they seemed distant or short with you?
What was your first thought?
"Did I do something?"
"Are they mad at me?"
"What's their problem?"
Be honest...
Most of us have been there.
Now let's connect that to The Four Agreements.
Without even realizing it, we often:
✔️ Make assumptions.
✔️ Take things personally.
All because we never stopped
to ask,
"Are you okay?"
Instead, our minds start creating stories that may not even be true.
I've done it.
🤦🏾♀️
I've replayed conversations in my head.
Imagined scenarios.
Worked myself into feelings that were based on assumptions instead of facts.
Had I asked one question...
"Are you okay?"
I probably would've saved myself a whole lot of unnecessary emotions. 😂
Then there's the agreement about doing your best.
I'll be honest...
Some mornings, that alarm goes off, and my first thought is,
"I'm just going to do enough to get through today."
We've all had those days.
But doing your best doesn't always mean giving 100%.
Sometimes your best is 100%.
Sometimes it's 80%.
Sometimes it's 40%.
Your best changes depending on what life is asking of you.
The important thing is that you show up honestly with whatever your best looks like that day.
So How Does This Affect Your Health?
More than you might think.
Making assumptions can lead to overthinking.
Overthinking can create stress.
Stress can become anxiety.
Anxiety can affect your sleep.
Your eating habits.
Your relationships.
Your mood.
It's a domino effect.
Sometimes protecting your peace begins with changing the stories you tell yourself.
That's one reason this little book has had such a big impact on so many people.
Its lessons are simple...
But applying them takes practice.
If you've never read The Four Agreements, I highly recommend it.
And if you have...
How's it going?
Have you truly made those agreements with yourself?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
If this message resonated with you, share it with someone you love and care about. It just might inspire them to look at life—and themselves—a little differently.
Until next time...
Parasites, Gut Health & Cleansing: Separating Fact from Fiction
Godd3ss Aisha
True Story…
By now, you’ve probably heard people talking about parasites all over social media. 😳
When I first started changing my diet and becoming more intentional about what I put into my body, I saw countless videos claiming parasites were behind everything—from sugar cravings to bloating to fatigue.
I’ll admit…
It got my attention.
Like many people, when I heard the word parasite, I immediately thought of tapeworms.
But after doing more research, I realized two things:
First, parasites are real, and certain infections do occur.
Second, there’s also a lot of misinformation online.
Not every craving, upset stomach, itchy skin, or bloated belly is caused by parasites. Those symptoms can have many different causes, and it’s important not to jump to conclusions.
So What Can You Do?
For me, this journey became less about chasing internet trends and more about taking better care of my body.
That means focusing on habits that support overall digestive health and wellness.
🧄 Garlic
Garlic has been used in traditional diets for generations and contains compounds that researchers continue to study for their potential health benefits.
Whether eaten raw or cooked into your favorite meal, it’s a nutritious addition to many diets.
🎃 Pumpkin Seeds (Pepitas)
Pepitas are packed with nutrients, healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, and fiber.
They’re a delicious snack and can be part of a balanced diet that supports overall health.
🥭 Papaya
Papaya is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and digestive enzymes that may support healthy digestion.
The fruit is a wonderful addition to your diet if you enjoy it.
🌿 Chlorophyll
Many people enjoy liquid chlorophyll as part of their wellness routine.
While some people say it makes them feel refreshed, scientific evidence for many of the health claims made online remains limited.
If you like it, enjoy it—but don’t expect it to be a cure-all.
💧 Support Your Body Naturally
One thing I do believe in is giving the body what it needs to function well.
That includes:
💚 Drinking plenty of water
💚 Eating more whole foods
💚 Including fruits and vegetables in your meals
💚 Getting enough fiber
💚 Moving your body
💚 Getting quality sleep
💚 Managing stress
For some people, periodic fasting may also be part of their personal wellness routine if it’s appropriate for their health and they practice it safely.
Listen to Your Body
If you’re experiencing ongoing digestive problems, unexplained weight loss, severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, blood in your stool, or other concerning symptoms, don’t rely on social media for answers.
Talk with a qualified healthcare professional who can determine whether testing or treatment is appropriate.
Our bodies are incredibly resilient when we nourish them with intention.
The goal isn’t to chase every wellness trend.
The goal is to create healthy habits that help you feel your best—mind, body, and spirit.
If this message resonated with you, share it with someone you love and care about. Wellness begins with learning, asking questions, and making informed choices together.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Self-Care Sunday: The One Appointment You Should Never Cancel
Godd3ss Aisha
True Story…
(Subliminal affirmations playing through my Bluetooth sleep mask.)
“I am healthy. I am abundant. I am right where I need to be.”
As I slowly opened my eyes, my first thought was…
“All praises to the Most High. Thank You for another Rising.” 💚
Then my mind started making its list.
“I need to wash my hair.”
“I’d love to soak in a hot bath.”
“It’s been a long week.”
Then another thought came…
Today is going to be about me.
All me.
All day.
So I turned to my boyfriend and said,
“Babe, I’m officially declaring Sundays my Self-Care Sundays.”
He looked at me and laughed.
“Now what kind of craziness are you talking about?” 😂
I smiled and said,
“I think everyone should take one day out of every seven and dedicate it to themselves.”
Not to work.
Not to errands.
Not to social media.
Not to everyone else’s needs.
Just…
You.
Maybe that means unplugging from the world for a while.
Maybe it’s meditation.
Reading.
Prayer.
Journaling.
Yoga.
A walk.
Or simply sitting quietly with your own thoughts.
For me?
I’m drawing a nice hot bath.
Adding Epsom salts.
Crushing fresh herbs and rose petals.
Lighting a few candles.
Putting on some smooth jazz or calming frequencies.
Maybe I’ll read.
Maybe I’ll journal.
Maybe I’ll stretch.
Maybe I’ll simply breathe.
The point isn’t what I do…
The point is that I’m intentionally resetting.
How Do You Reset?
Or…
Do you?
Some people hear “Self-Care Sunday” and immediately think,
“Who has time for that?”
My answer?
We make time for what we believe is important.
Think about it.
How many hours do we spend scrolling social media?
Watching television?
Binge-watching another series?
We often have the time.
We’ve just gotten used to giving it away.
Now, don’t get me wrong.
If watching your favorite show helps you unwind, that’s perfectly okay.
But ask yourself this:
How do you feel afterward?
Refreshed?
Recharged?
Peaceful?
Or simply distracted for a little while?
(Think back to my blog about stress, anger, and anxiety.)
Sometimes our minds need something deeper than distraction.
They need restoration.
Try Something Different
Step outside your comfort zone.
Open that book you’ve been meaning to read.
(Reading really is fundamental. 😊)
Take that long bath.
Add the Epsom salts.
Light a few candles.
Take slow, intentional breaths.
Sit in silence.
Reconnect…
Not with social media.
Not even with nature.
Reconnect with yourself.
Be fully present.
The past has already happened.
Tomorrow hasn’t arrived.
Right now…
Just be.
When you feel ready, then plan your week.
Prepare for Monday.
Organize your schedule.
But don’t let planning steal today’s peace.
And if you’re thinking,
“Aisha, I can’t dedicate an entire day.”
That’s okay.
Start with four hours.
Four uninterrupted hours dedicated to your mind, body, and soul.
Can you give yourself that?
It doesn’t have to be Sunday.
Choose whichever day works for your life.
Just choose you.
I’d love to hear what happens when you make yourself a priority.
If this message speaks to your heart, share it with someone you love and care about. They may need permission to slow down and care for themselves, too.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Beating the Heat Naturally: A Holistic Guide to Staying Cool This Summer
Godd3ss Alicia
Summer is beautiful.
Longer days.
Brighter sunshine.
Family cookouts.
Time at the beach.
Fresh fruits.
Nature is in full bloom.
But let’s be honest…
Sometimes it’s just HOT! 🥵
As temperatures rise, many of us immediately reach for the air conditioner, an ice-cold drink, or the nearest shady spot. While there’s nothing wrong with that, there are also natural ways to help your body stay balanced during the hottest months of the year.
Let’s explore a few simple, holistic practices that may help you stay cool, refreshed, and connected with your body.
💧 Hydrate With Intention
Water is your body’s best friend.
By the time you feel thirsty, your body may already be asking for more fluids. Keep a reusable water bottle nearby and sip throughout the day instead of waiting until you’re dehydrated.
If plain water isn’t your favorite, try adding slices of lemon, cucumber, mint, berries, or watermelon for a refreshing twist.
Hydration isn’t just about drinking water—many fruits and vegetables help too.
Think:
🍉 Watermelon
🥒 Cucumber
🍓 Strawberries
🍊 Citrus fruits
🥬 Leafy greens
Nature often provides exactly what our bodies need during each season.
🥗 Eat Foods That Nourish
Heavy, greasy meals can sometimes leave us feeling sluggish, especially in the heat.
Instead, try choosing lighter meals that are rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.
Fresh salads.
Smoothies.
Seasonal produce.
These foods can leave you feeling energized instead of weighed down.
🌳 Spend Time With Nature
If possible, enjoy the outdoors during the cooler parts of the day.
An early morning walk.
An evening stroll.
Sitting beneath a tree.
Listening to birds.
Feeling the breeze.
Nature has a beautiful way of calming both the body and the mind.
Sometimes the coolest place isn’t indoors—it’s in the shade with a peaceful heart.
🧘🏾♀️ Slow Your Pace
Heat naturally asks us to slow down.
Instead of constantly pushing yourself, honor your body’s signals.
Rest when needed.
Stretch.
Practice deep breathing.
Meditate.
Give yourself permission to move through the day with intention instead of urgency.
👕 Dress for Comfort
Loose-fitting, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen help your body release heat more efficiently.
Light-colored clothing reflects more sunlight than dark colors and may help you stay cooler outdoors.
Comfort is self-care.
😌 Cool Your Mind, Too
Heat doesn’t just affect the body.
It can affect our mood.
Many people notice they become more impatient, irritable, or mentally exhausted during extremely hot weather.
When that happens…
Pause.
Take a few slow breaths.
Step into the shade.
Drink some water.
Give yourself a few quiet moments before reacting.
Sometimes cooling the mind is just as important as cooling the body.
😴 Prioritize Rest
Quality sleep helps your body recover from physical and mental stress.
Keep your bedroom as cool and comfortable as possible.
Reduce screen time before bed.
Allow yourself to truly rest so you can wake up refreshed.
💚 Listen to Your Body
Every person is different.
Some people love the heat.
Others struggle with it.
There is no prize for pushing through exhaustion or ignoring the signs your body is giving you.
Honor your limits.
Rest when you need to.
Drink water.
Find shade.
Ask for help if necessary.
Listening to your body is one of the greatest acts of self-love.
A Gentle Reminder
Holistic living isn’t about perfection.
It’s about paying attention.
It’s about working with your body instead of against it.
This summer, slow down.
Hydrate.
Nourish yourself.
Spend time in nature.
Protect your peace.
And remember…
Sometimes the coolest thing you can do is simply breathe.
If this message refreshed your spirit, please share it with someone you love and care about. They may need a gentle reminder to slow down and care for themselves this summer.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Stress, Anger, Anxiety & The World: How Do YOU Handle It?
Godd3ss Aisha
True Story...
(The thoughts in parentheses are conversations with my higher self.)
I'm scrolling...
A young life lost. 👀
Another story about racism.
Another act of violence.
Another heartbreaking headline. 🥺
Then...
A personal problem.
Bills are overdue. 🤦🏾♀️
My phone keeps buzzing.
My mind starts racing.
"What is going on?"
"Why is everything happening at once?"
"My friend needs me."
"How am I going to pay this bill?"
"Is he still in love?"
Then...
PAUSE.
My higher self interrupted the chaos.
"Aisha...pause."
We all know what it feels like.
Some of us are living this story right now.
The headlines.
The responsibilities.
The family struggles.
The uncertainty.
The grief.
The stress.
So let me ask you...
How are you handling it?
Are you angry?
Hurt?
Confused?
Overwhelmed?
Completely exhausted?
I understand. 💚
But how we respond makes all the difference.
Not only for ourselves...
But for everyone around us.
As I sat with my emotions, I realized something.
I hurt for families experiencing unimaginable loss.
As a mother, those stories hit differently.
I also found myself thinking about my own life.
Two years ago, I lost my uncle.
The last conversation we had wasn't the one I wish we'd had.
I remember raising my voice because he was being stubborn.
Before he passed, I apologized.
But he never had the chance to answer.
For a long time, I carried guilt.
I just wanted to hear him say,
"It's okay, Isha."
There was a time when I would've handled these emotions differently.
I would've drowned them in alcohol.
Maybe cried.
Maybe argued.
Then, I spent the next day apologizing and trying not to get sick.
🤦🏾♀️
But today...
Things are different.
My higher self asked me a few simple questions.
Stress
"Can you fix what's stressing you right now?"
No.
"Then why continue feeding it?"
Anger
"Why are you really angry?"
Because I'm a mother of two sons, and stories like these remind me how fragile life can be.
Then another question came.
"Is this your burden to carry?"
No.
"Have compassion. Pray for the family. But don't allow someone else's tragedy to consume your peace."
Then came the bills.
"Bills will always exist."
"Prioritize what you can today."
Then my uncle.
"He heard your apology."
"It's time to let go of the guilt."
😌
I took a deep breath.
Life will always present challenges.
The world will always have difficult headlines.
There will always be something trying to pull us into fear, anger, anxiety, or despair.
The question isn't whether those moments will come.
The question is...
How will you respond?
As I write this, I can literally feel my energy changing.
My vibration is rising.
Not because my problems disappeared.
But because I'm doing something that brings me peace.
I'm writing.
I'm reflecting.
I'm sharing.
And if these words help just one person feel less alone...
Then my heart is full.
We're all walking this journey called life together.
Let's stop feeding toxic cycles that keep us stuck.
Let's stop giving every headline permission to steal our peace.
Before you crash out...
Pause.
Before you react...
Pause.
Before you respond...
Breathe.
Go for a walk.
Pray.
Meditate.
Journal.
Talk with someone you trust.
Do whatever helps you return to yourself.
Because the energy you carry doesn't stay with you.
It touches your family.
Your friends.
Your coworkers.
Your community.
And your own health.
The next time life feels overwhelming...
Pause.
Process.
Breathe.
Then move forward with intention.
Update: As I finish writing this...
My vibration is higher.
And it feels so much better. 😌🧘🏾♀️
If this message resonated with you, share it with someone you love and care about. You never know who may need permission to pause today.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Ego, Pride, and YOU: Knowing the Difference
Godd3ss Aisha
True Story
“Aye, Aisha, I bet you can’t take these last two shots!”
Me:
“Bet I can!”
One slam. 🥃
Two slam. 🥃
(Thinking)
“Don’t call me out…I’m bout this life!” 😂
“Now what?!”
A little later…
“Uhh, my girl is trippin. Can you give me a ride home?”
Me:
“Bet. Let me get my keys.”
Then that little voice inside started talking…
“Now, Aisha…you know good and well you have no business driving. Make some food, chill for a while, then take him home.”
Then came the outside voice:
“Ayyye, you good though, right? I know those shots ain’t got you?”
Me:
“Oh yeah, I’m good. Just gotta find my keys.”
Inside voice again:
“Aisha…don’t do it.”
My response?
“Shiiid…let’s go. Besides, I need cigarettes anyway. I’ve done this before. This is nothing new.”
Found my keys.
Started driving.
“Make a left on Murray.”
Then…
🚨 Woooop Woooop 🚨
👀👀👀
Damn.
The police. 🤦🏾♀️
“License, registration, and proof of insurance, please.”
Now what?
This actually happened to me.
As I reflect back on my life, I think about the choices I made and, more importantly…
Why I made them.
When I really started digging deep, I realized that my ego and my pride played a major role in many of the decisions that led me into difficult situations.
Let’s break it down.
Ego: The First Responder
I realized that in many of my unfortunate situations, my ego was always the first one to show up.
Look back at the story:
“I bet you can’t take these last two shots.”
Who answered first?
My ego.
“Bet I can.”
Not logic.
Not wisdom.
Not my higher self.
Ego.
The part of me that felt challenged.
The part that felt like I had something to prove.
Pride: The Enforcer
Now pride?
Whew. 😂
I call pride the enforcer.
Pride came in right behind ego, saying:
“I’m bout that life.”
“You’ve done this before.”
“Today isn’t any different.”
Pride will have you defending a decision that deep down you already know isn’t the right one.
Unless you recognize it.
Then There Was ME
The real me was there too.
The calm voice.
The wise voice.
The voice saying:
“Aisha…you know you shouldn’t do this.”
🤔🤔🤔
So why didn’t I listen?
Why did I let ego and pride take control and end up with a ticket and AA classes?
When I was honest with myself, the answer was simple:
I wanted people to think I was “about that life.”
I wanted validation.
🤦🏾♀️
There goes that word again…
Validation.
I didn’t realize how much seeking others' approval was influencing my decisions.
So I started looking back at different moments in my life.
Different choices.
Different situations.
And I noticed a pattern.
Ego spoke first.
Pride backed it up.
And my true self?
My wisdom?
My intuition?
She was usually the quiet voice I ignored.
So I made a change.
I started pausing.
Thinking.
Processing.
Because we’ve all had those moments where that reasonable voice shows up and says:
“Maybe rethink this,”
I call that voice my higher self.
The Goddess I strive to become every day. 💚
Sounds funny, maybe…
But it works.
I started listening to her.
Even now in 2026, I catch myself.
I call myself out in my own thoughts.
I pause before reacting.
I ask:
“Who is speaking right now?”
Because usually, when we react instantly out of anger, fear, embarrassment, or a need to prove something…
That’s ego.
Now, every situation is different.
But learning to recognize your ego before it takes control can change everything.
Some decisions last five minutes.
Some decisions affect your entire life.
So before you respond…
Before you react…
Before you feel the need to prove yourself…
Ask one honest question:
Who is showing up right now?
YOU?
EGO?
Or PRIDE?
Only you truly know the answer.
If this message connects with you, share it with someone you love and care about. Someone may need this reminder before ego makes the next decision.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
The First Hour and The Last Hour: How You Begin and End Your Day Matters
Godd3ss Aisha
True Story...
(Alarm playing Lizzy Jeff 🎶)
"Look me in my eyes when you speak to me, then I better feel your frequency."
My first thought?
"I'm not feeling this." 🙄
I grabbed my phone and headed to the bathroom.
There I sat, barely awake, already scrolling through Facebook.
One video.
One headline.
One comment section.
Then came the thoughts...
"I can't believe that happened."
"What is wrong with the world?!"
Of course, I had to tell my husband what I saw.
Then I got to work and told some coworkers.
Then came the conversations, debates, and discussions.
By the end of the day?
I was drained.
My energy was heavy.
I just wanted to go home.
About an hour before bed, I decided to check Facebook again.
And guess what?
More madness.
More opinions.
More chaos.
There I was talking back to videos, rolling my eyes, thinking...
"Couldn't be me." 😂
I put my phone down and tried to sleep.
Keyword...
Tried.
I tossed.
I turned.
And before I knew it...
🎶 "Look me in my eyes when you speak to me, then I better feel your frequency." 🎶
The alarm was going off again. 🤦🏾♀️
Then I came across a reel from a monk who said something that made me stop and think:
What you do with the first hour and the last hour of your day is important.
He suggested that when you wake up, don't immediately grab your phone.
Take a few minutes.
Give gratitude.
Take some deep breaths.
Be present.
Let your mind wake up before you invite the world in.
Then an hour before bed?
Put the phone down.
Charge it.
Disconnect from the noise.
🤔🤔🤔
So you already know...
I had to put it to the test.
The next morning, my alarm went off, and let me tell you...
The urge to grab my phone was CRAZY. 😂
But I said:
"Nope. Let's do this."
I closed my eyes.
I gave thanks for another day. 😌
I did some breath work.
I looked in the mirror and spoke positive affirmations over myself.
Then I showered and started my day.
The difference?
Amazing.
I felt like I was on a natural high.
I didn't even think about checking my phone until lunch.
By then, I had already accomplished more than expected, and most importantly...
I felt good.
Later that evening, I scrolled for a little while and continued with my night.
Then bedtime came.
That habit kicked in.
"Let me check this one post real quick..."
Then I stopped myself.
Nah.
I put the phone down.
I lay there.
Closed my eyes.
Gave thanks for another day.
Instead of filling my mind with stress, drama, and everyone else's problems, I started thinking about positive affirmations.
How could I grow?
How could I improve my skills?
How could I become a better version of myself?
And before I knew it...
😴😴😴
Peace.
I tried this for a week, and I was amazed at how much the beginning and ending of my day affected everything in between.
My mood.
My patience.
My focus.
My sleep.
My energy.
We often say social media is just entertainment...
But is it always?
Other people's problems.
Arguments.
Politics.
Celebrity drama.
Negativity.
Opinions.
We consume it and sometimes don't realize we're carrying it into our own lives.
Into our homes.
Into our relationships.
Into our minds.
Sometimes consciously.
Sometimes subconsciously.
So here's my challenge for you:
The 7-Day First Hour & Last Hour Challenge.
When you rise, leave the phone alone.
Your emails will still be there.
The notifications can wait.
The likes aren't going anywhere.
Instead:
💚 Give gratitude
💚 Take deep breaths
💚 Stretch your body
💚 Speak positivity over yourself
💚 Set your energy before the world tries to set it for you
Then do the same before bed.
Disconnect from the outside world.
Reconnect with yourself.
After seven days, check in.
Did you sleep better?
Were you less irritated?
Did you feel more focused?
Did your energy change?
Or did it make no difference?
I'd love to hear your experience.
Share your thoughts, and if this message connected with you, share it with someone you love and care about. Someone else may need the reminder to protect their peace, too.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Letting Go: When To, How To, and Are You Ready?
Godd3ss Aisha
I was listening to “Healer” by Londrell when a line stopped me in my tracks:
“Don’t let your deceitful ego mislead you. The more you try to pour yourself into a broken vessel, it will overflow and leak through.”
🤔
Wow.
That one hit differently.
It made me think…
How many times in my life have I held on to jobs, friendships, situations, and relationships much longer than I should have?
Another message from Londrell stood out:
“You have to understand that people and times change. You can’t walk back into the same hurtful doors and not expect to find pain.”
That was the moment I started looking back—not with regret, but with understanding.
I thought about a job where I felt unseen.
I knew my value.
I knew what I contributed.
I knew how hard I worked.
But I stayed for years, feeling unhappy and frustrated, always one bad day away from quitting.
Looking back, I also saw how I handled that pain.
I would vent to family and friends.
I would have that one drink after work because it had been “one of those days.”
Then sometimes that one drink became two.
Or more.
I stayed up too late.
Stopped prioritizing myself.
Stopped caring about how I was showing up the next day.
And slowly…
A bad situation became an unhealthy routine.
I thought about leaving, but my pride—my ego—had something to say:
“Nope. We’ve been here too long. Put your big girl panties on and handle it.”
Besides, I had two kids.
Starting over didn’t feel like an option.
But what I didn’t realize was this:
By waiting for someone else to recognize my worth, I had forgotten to recognize it myself.
I was looking for validation from people who couldn’t see my value.
Because of pride, I allowed myself to be mistreated.
And even worse…
I started mistreating myself.
The same pattern showed up in my personal life.
I made excuses.
“The kids are just going through growing pains.”
“He just had a bad day.”
Excuse after excuse.
But the truth?
They saw what I couldn’t see.
I had lost my light.
I had poured so much into everyone and everything else that I had nothing left for myself.
I was just moving from one day into the next.
Then came the moment that changed everything…
The doctor’s appointment. 😳
It was time for my physical, and because of my age, they decided to do an EKG.
I watched the nurse print the results.
She looked at the paper.
Paused.
Printed another one.
Then said:
“I’m just going to run this again, okay?”
Ummm…
Now my heart was beating faster for a completely different reason. 😂
She repeated the process and said she wanted the doctor to review it.
So I waited.
And you know how your mind starts running when you’re waiting.
Finally, the doctor walked in and said:
“Ms. Brick, according to this, you’ve had a mild silent heart attack.”
👀👀👀
“What chu talkin’ bout Willis?!”
I told him, “I didn’t feel anything.”
He replied:
“You probably did…and ignored it.”
🤔
And the sad part?
I think he was right.
I had become so used to ignoring my body, my emotions, and my stress that even my own warning signs got pushed aside.
Then he asked:
“Have you been under stress lately?”
Yep.
And in that moment, I knew exactly what I needed to do.
No prescription required. 😉
I told myself:
It ends now.
If that job doesn’t recognize your worth?
Find another one.
Or continue down the same road and risk your health.
The relationship?
Time to let go.
The kids?
Oh, they were getting grounded, too. 😂
Once I put in my two weeks’ notice, something changed.
I found myself driving past the places I used to stop.
Sure, the snacks were good.
The drinks were cheap.
But nothing was worth sacrificing my peace, my health, or myself.
I learned how to jump off the hamster wheel we call “life”…
And actually start living.
I made a promise to myself:
I will not stay anywhere that requires me to lose myself in order to belong.
I’m not perfect.
But I am pure.
My intentions are pure.
My love is pure.
My heart is pure.
And if something requires me to constantly shrink, hurt, or abandon myself…
It’s time to let it go.
As Londrell says:
“Letting go is easy, but we make it challenging because we’re caught up in the memories and not focused on the reality.”
Read that again.
You already know what no longer serves you.
You know what makes your body tense.
You know what keeps your mind racing.
You know what steals your peace.
Whether it’s from your past or happening right now…
Maybe it’s time to release it.
The question is:
Are you ready to let go?
Or are you waiting for your own wake-up call?
Trust yourself.
Choose yourself.
There is nothing selfish about protecting your peace.
Continue loving others.
Continue showing up.
Continue working hard.
Continue caring.
But remember:
You cannot pour from an empty vessel.
If something is destroying your mental, emotional, or physical health…
Love yourself enough to let it go. 💚
If this message speaks to your heart, share it with someone you love and care about. Someone may need this reminder today.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
After the Celebration: Resetting the Mind, Body & Soul Before the Week Begins
Godd3ss Aisha
The fireworks have faded.
The music has stopped.
The gatherings are over.
The memories have been made.
For many of us, the Independence Day celebration was filled with laughter, friends, family, food, and fun. Maybe a little too much fun. 😂
Extra sweets.
Processed foods.
Heavy meals.
Alcohol.
Less sleep.
More stress on the body than we’re used to.
Our bodies, minds, and spirits have been running on celebration mode—but now comes the most important part:
The reset.
Before we jump back into emails, meetings, deadlines, responsibilities, and the demands of the work week, we owe ourselves a moment to get centered.
Because how we show up for ourselves impacts how we show up for the world.
🌿 Start With Gratitude
Before thinking about everything you have to do tomorrow, take a moment to appreciate everything you experienced.
The conversations.
The laughter.
The moments with loved ones.
The simple gift of being here.
Gratitude changes our perspective. Instead of waking up thinking, “I have to go to work,” try shifting the energy:
“I get another opportunity to make an impact.”
A small change in mindset can create a powerful change in the day.
💧 Cleanse Your Body
After days of heavy food, sugar, or drinks, your body may be asking for balance.
Drink water.
Eat nourishing foods.
Enjoy fruits, vegetables, and meals that fuel you.
Move your body.
Stretch.
Take that walk.
Give the body the same kindness you give everyone else.
Our bodies carry us through every experience—we should honor them.
🧘🏾♀️ Quiet the Noise
The world is loud.
Phones.
Social media.
Opinions.
News.
Notifications.
Sometimes peace requires disconnecting from everything else so we can reconnect with ourselves.
Try:
Meditation.
Prayer.
Deep breathing.
Journaling.
Listening to calming music.
Sitting outside and allowing Mother Nature to remind us that everything has a rhythm.
The waves.
The wind.
The trees.
The birds.
And yes…you. 💚
🌱 Release What Doesn’t Serve You
Before beginning a new week, ask yourself:
“What am I carrying that I no longer need?”
Stress?
Fear?
Comparison?
Anger?
Doubt?
Someone else’s expectations?
You don’t have to carry yesterday’s weight into tomorrow’s journey.
Every new day is an opportunity to realign.
💼 Bring my Best Self to Work
Work isn’t just about tasks, projects, or a paycheck.
It’s also about energy.
The version of yourself you bring into the workplace affects everyone around you.
Your coworkers.
Your customers.
Your team.
Your leadership.
Your kindness may ease someone’s difficult day.
Your patience may change someone’s perspective.
Your positive energy may create a ripple effect you never even see.
When you care for yourself first, you have more to give others.
✨ Energy Impacts the Universe
Everything is connected.
The words we speak.
The thoughts we entertain.
The energy we carry.
When we choose peace, kindness, patience, and compassion, we put more of those things into the world.
A healthier you creates healthier relationships.
Healthier relationships create stronger communities.
Stronger communities create a better world.
So before the new week begins…
Take a breath.
Drink some water.
Take a walk.
Feed your body.
Quiet your mind.
Check in with your soul.
Ask yourself:
“How do I want to show up in the world tomorrow?”
Because the greatest reset isn’t just about returning to work.
It’s about returning to yourself.
If this message touched your heart, share it with someone you love and care about. Sometimes we all need a gentle reminder to pause, reset, and choose peace.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Independence Begins Within: A July 4th Reflection on Freedom, Peace, and the Soul
Godd3ss Alicia
Today, we celebrate Independence Day.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of people envisioned something greater than themselves—a nation built on the ideals of liberty, courage, and the pursuit of a better future.
Whether you’re celebrating with family, watching fireworks, enjoying a cookout, or simply taking a moment for yourself, today offers us something else…
An opportunity to reflect.
Reflection is one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves.
We spend so much of our lives moving.
Working.
Planning.
Scrolling.
Worrying.
Reacting.
But how often do we stop long enough to ask ourselves…
“Am I truly free?”
Not politically.
Personally.
Are you free from anger that’s been weighing on your heart?
Are you free from comparing yourself to everyone you see on social media?
Are you free from needing approval from people who don’t truly know you?
Are you free from guilt over something you cannot change?
Are you free from the fear that’s been keeping you from becoming who you were created to be?
Sometimes the greatest independence we can experience isn’t celebrated with fireworks.
It’s celebrated in silence.
It’s the quiet moment when we forgive someone who never apologized.
It’s choosing peace over proving we’re right.
It’s letting go of yesterday so we can fully embrace today.
It’s deciding that our happiness is no longer dependent on someone else’s opinion.
Just as our nation has grown, struggled, learned, and evolved over the past 250 years, so have we.
Every scar tells a story.
Every setback teaches a lesson.
Every challenge offers an opportunity to grow stronger, wiser, and more compassionate.
Reflection doesn’t erase our past.
It helps us understand it.
It reminds us how far we’ve come and gently points us toward where we’re meant to go next.
Today, while the sky fills with brilliant colors, take a few moments to sit quietly.
Breathe deeply.
Listen to the wind.
Feel the warmth of the sun.
Offer gratitude for the freedoms you enjoy.
Then offer yourself another gift.
Ask yourself:
What am I ready to be free from?
Maybe it’s resentment.
Maybe it’s self-doubt.
Maybe it’s fear.
Maybe it’s the constant pressure to be perfect.
Whatever it is…
Today is a beautiful day to begin letting it go.
Freedom isn’t just something written in history books.
It’s something we choose, one decision at a time.
May this Independence Day remind you that the greatest journey you’ll ever take isn’t across a country…
It’s inward.
Toward peace.
Toward healing.
Toward becoming the most authentic version of yourself.
If this message touched your heart, please share it with someone you love and care about. Reflection has a way of healing not only ourselves but everyone whose lives we touch.
From all of us at A Godd3ss3s Cr3ation, we wish you and your loved ones a safe, joyful, and meaningful Independence Day.
Happy 250th Birthday, America. 🇺🇸
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Hello, Beautiful: A Few Kind Words Can Change Someone’s Day
Godd3ss Aisha
True story…
I was scrolling through Facebook when I came across a reel that instantly made me smile.
A beautiful woman saw another beautiful woman, stopped her, gave her a genuine compliment, and even spun her around in a joyful ballroom twirl. 🤗
The energy was contagious.
The message was powerful.
The smile on that woman’s face was absolutely priceless.
It got me thinking…
Let’s be honest.
Sometimes women can be each other’s biggest critics. Too often, compliments are replaced with comparison, competition, or quiet judgment. It doesn’t have to be that way.
So I decided to put it to the test.
A few days later, I was walking to the store when I made eye contact with a young woman.
She smiled and said, “Good morning.”
I smiled back and replied,
“Grand Rising, Beautiful.” 😁
The look she gave me…
You would’ve thought I had called her a shepherd for the devil! 😂🤷🏾♀️
She didn’t smile.
She looked uncomfortable.
I kept walking, wondering…
Did I offend her?
Does she not know she’s beautiful?
Has no one ever called her beautiful before?
The next time I saw her…
The same reaction.
At first, I was a little irritated because, honestly, who doesn’t enjoy receiving a sincere compliment?
Then I realized something important.
I don’t know her story.
I don’t know what she’s been through.
I don’t know what her self-esteem looks like.
Maybe no one had ever spoken those words to her.
Or maybe she’d heard so many negative ones that she no longer believed the positive.
That thought broke my heart.
It reminded me of something I shared in my “Trends” blog.
Many people don’t truly believe they’re attractive, worthy, or enough unless someone else validates them first.
Thankfully, not everyone struggles with this. Some people know exactly who they are and carry themselves with confidence.
But for those who don’t…
I’d like to offer a simple challenge.
For the next seven days, stand in front of the mirror every morning and say,
“I am beautiful.”
(And yes, gentlemen—you can absolutely be beautiful too.)
Then, during those same seven days, give one genuine compliment to another woman.
Not because you want something in return.
Not because you’re trying to impress anyone.
Simply because kindness is free.
You’ll be surprised how good it feels—not only for them, but for you as well.
Self-esteem plays a much bigger role in our health than many people realize.
When we don’t feel good about ourselves, it can affect our sleep, our eating habits, our relationships, and for some, even lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms like alcohol or drugs.
So ask yourself…
Who told you that you weren’t beautiful?
Society?
A relationship?
Family?
A stranger on the internet?
And an even better question…
Why did you choose to believe them?
Today, I invite you to replace those voices with your own.
When you wake up tomorrow, look in the mirror and simply say,
“Hello, Beautiful.”
You have scars?
You’re beautiful.
A few extra pounds?
You’re beautiful.
A missing tooth?
You’re beautiful.
Gray hair?
You’re beautiful.
Every chapter you’ve lived has helped shape the incredible person staring back at you.
I broke one of my teeth and eventually had it pulled.
Guess what?
I still smile as big and as brightly as ever. 💯
Because beauty has never been about perfection.
It’s about authenticity.
Be kind to yourself.
Be kind to others.
Your words may be exactly what someone needs to hear.
The next time you cross paths with another woman…
Smile.
Say hello.
Tell her she’s beautiful.
You never know how much those two simple words might change her day—or even her life.
And if this message touched your heart, please share it with someone you love and care about. A simple act of kindness has a way of creating ripples that travel farther than we’ll ever know.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Be You: The Freedom of Letting Go of Other People's Opinions
Godd3ss Aisha
True story...
One morning I stood in front of my closet thinking, "What should I wear?" 🤔
It was a little chilly outside, so I grabbed a pair of jeans, a cute sweatshirt, and my leg warmers.
"Hey...cute and comfy!" 😊
I got to work.
A coworker looked at me and laughed.
"Good morning, Aisha! Girl...are you trying to bring leg warmers back?!" 😂😂😂
"I haven't seen those since the '80s!"
We both laughed, but later I caught myself thinking...
"Am I old school?"
"Am I out of style?"
"Am I not keeping up with the times?"
Later that day, I asked my boyfriend at the time,
"How do I look?"
He smiled and said,
"You look good...but you should tighten up that tummy. Get that 'snatched' look like Cardi B or Megan Thee Stallion."
I paused.
I had already been thinking about getting my stomach flatter, so hearing that made me think,
"Maybe I really do need to start working out."
Looking back, I realized something.
Even as adults, we're still playing many of the same games we played in school.
Back then, it was all about who had the latest shoes, the newest hairstyle, the coolest clothes. If you didn't keep up, someone made sure you knew it.
Has much really changed?
Today I see women—and men—working extra shifts, taking out loans, and spending thousands on cosmetic procedures just to achieve the latest beauty trend.
If you're curvy, you're told to lose weight.
If you're thin, you're told to eat more.
If your hair is natural, someone has an opinion about it.
If you color it, someone has an opinion.
So...
When does it stop?
Let's be honest.
Some people will say, "I did it for me."
And for some, that's absolutely true.
But for many of us, if we're willing to be completely honest with ourselves, at least part of that decision is driven by a desire to be accepted, validated, or approved by society.
Constantly chasing someone else's version of beauty can slowly chip away at your self-esteem.
Your subconscious is always listening.
When you repeatedly tell yourself you're not enough, eventually your mind begins to believe it—and your body often follows.
What if one day you decided...
"I'm going to dye my hair purple."
"I'm going to stop shaving."
"I'm going to wear leg warmers because I like them."
Immediately the questions start.
"What will people think?"
"What will they say?"
Then I asked myself something even more important.
Why do I care?
My answer surprised me.
I didn't want people to think I wasn't current.
I didn't want to seem outdated.
Then another question came.
"If you're constantly changing to fit everyone else's expectations...who are you?"
That question changed everything.
I realized I had been allowing social media, family, friends, trends, and complete strangers to influence how I saw myself.
Little by little, I was losing my identity.
Once I made the decision to simply be myself—and stop worrying about everyone else's opinion—it felt incredibly freeing.
I stood taller.
I walked differently.
I spoke with more confidence.
Not because I had changed my appearance...
But because I had finally become comfortable in my own skin.
Now, if your doctor recommends losing or gaining weight for your health, that's a different conversation. Taking care of your body is an act of self-love.
But if your decision is purely cosmetic, take a moment before making it.
Sit quietly with yourself.
Remove the voices of social media.
Silence the opinions of family and friends.
Forget about trends for just a little while.
Then ask yourself:
"Is this truly what I want...or am I trying to become someone else's definition of beautiful?"
You may discover that you already love the body you're in.
Whether you're curvy, slim, athletic, or somewhere in between...
Whether you wear leg warmers or designer heels...
Whether your hair is natural, colorful, long, or short...
You are worthy.
You are enough.
And that, my beautiful soul, is more than enough. 💚
If this message resonated with you, please share it with someone you love and care about. You never know who may need the reminder that they are already enough, just as they are.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Take a Walk: Your Mind, Body, and Soul Will Thank You
Godd3ss Aisha
Have you ever watched a sitcom where the dad tells his angry son, “Go take a walk!” 😂
As funny as it sounds, it’s actually some pretty solid advice.
Whether it’s a slow stroll around the neighborhood or a brisk walk to get your cardio in, moving your body is one of the simplest gifts you can give yourself.
I try to make it a habit to go for a walk at least once or twice a week. Come to think of it…there are times when I walk simply because I need to.
But here’s the question…
When was the last time you took a walk and truly listened?
Not with earbuds blasting music or your eyes glued to your phone.
I mean, really listened.
Listen to yourself.
Listen to Mother Nature.
Listen to the wind dancing through the trees.
Listen to the birds singing to one another as they fly from branch to branch.
There’s something incredibly peaceful about it.
Walking has become a form of meditation for me. It’s a time to put life into perspective and check in with myself.
I often ask a simple question:
“How are you…really?”
With family, friends, work, social media, and the world constantly demanding our attention, we spend so much time taking care of everyone else that we forget to check on the one person who needs us the most—ourselves.
Walking benefits the body, too.
It strengthens my legs, glutes, and core. It gets my heart pumping and my blood flowing. Every step is an investment in my physical health.
But the greatest benefit isn’t physical.
It’s the opportunity to slow down long enough to appreciate the little things.
A hummingbird searching for nectar.
The fragrance of blooming flowers.
The rhythm of the breeze.
(Yes…I’m having a full Pocahontas moment over here. 😂😂😂)
Life can be loud.
Kids need you.
Cars are rushing by.
Work emails keep coming.
Maybe your spouse is fussing.
Maybe your boss is testing every ounce of your patience.
If you’ve learned to tune out the noise around you, why not tune into something that gives back?
Tune into yourself.
Tune into nature.
You may be surprised by what you discover.
You might find the courage to make a difficult decision.
You may find clarity where there was confusion.
You may finally release something that’s been weighing heavily on your heart.
And yes…you’ll burn a few calories while you’re at it. 😂
I’m not saying a walk will solve every problem in your life.
But before you vent to the wrong person…
Before you fire off that emotional text…
Before you make that Facebook post you might regret…
Take a walk.
Give yourself 30 to 45 minutes.
Step away from the noise.
Clear your mind.
Disconnect from the world.
Reconnect with yourself.
Reconnect with Mother Nature.
You may come back with exactly what you needed.
If this message spoke to you, share it with someone you love and care about. Sometimes the greatest gift we can give another person isn’t advice—it’s a gentle reminder to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves. You never know who might need to hear these words today.
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
Tune Into Your Best Self: The Power of Brain Waves & Binaural Beats
Godd3ss Aisha
Most of us learned about brain waves in school—at least we touched on the subject. But how many of us truly understand what they are or how they may benefit our minds and bodies?
Our brains operate using different frequencies: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. Each one plays a unique role in how we think, feel, rest, and heal.
Speaking from personal experience, listening to the pure tones can be a little unusual at first. If they aren’t your thing, try binaural beats on YouTube. You still receive the benefits of the frequencies while enjoying relaxing music or peaceful melodies.
Now, I know this isn’t for everyone. Some people can’t make it through a jazz or classical song without feeling sleepy—and that’s okay! Listen to what brings you peace and joy.
But if you’re on a journey of personal growth, dealing with brain fog, struggling to focus, or simply looking to sharpen your mind, brain wave frequencies may be worth exploring.
So how can a simple frequency affect the body? Let’s take a closer look.
🌙 Delta (0.5–4 Hz)
Delta waves are associated with deep, restorative sleep. They’re wonderful for those who can fall asleep but struggle to stay asleep.
This frequency is also linked to the body’s natural healing processes, supporting tissue repair and the release of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) during deep sleep. Delta may also help reduce stress and lower cortisol levels—that pesky stress hormone that always seems to show up at the worst times.
😌 Theta (4–8 Hz)
Theta is the frequency of deep relaxation.
Many in the holistic and spiritual communities appreciate this state because it’s often associated with meditation, creativity, intuition, emotional openness, and inner healing. It’s no surprise that Theta is sometimes called the “healing frequency.”
🧠 Alpha (8–12 Hz)
If you’ve ever struggled with brain fog or difficulty concentrating, Alpha frequencies may become one of your favorites.
Alpha waves promote a calm, alert mind, supporting cognitive health, focus, relaxation, and mental clarity.
⚡ Beta (12–30 Hz)
Beta waves are active when we’re thinking, learning, solving problems, and making decisions.
They help support concentration, memory retention, and logical thinking. For everyday productivity and getting things done, Beta has your back.
🚀 Gamma (30–100 Hz)
Gamma is my personal favorite!
I often listen to Gamma frequencies while studying, preparing for something important, or whenever I want to feel mentally sharp.
Gamma waves are associated with learning, information processing, creativity, memory, and heightened focus. When I really need my brain firing on all cylinders, Gamma is one of my go-to frequencies.
Personally, I think combining Alpha and Gamma creates an incredible balance—Alpha helps calm and clear the mind, while Gamma sharpens your focus and mental performance.
Just as our bodies need nourishing food to stay healthy, our brains benefit from healthy input as well.
Whether it’s the music we listen to, the thoughts we entertain, the people we surround ourselves with, or the frequencies we expose ourselves to, everything contributes to our overall well-being.
Feed your mind with intention.
Heal your vessel.
Expand your awareness.
And ask yourself…
What frequency are you tuned into?
Peace, Love & Light. 💚🧘🏾♀️
The Soundtrack of Your Life: What Frequency Are You Broadcasting?
Godd3ss Aisha
There was a time when I would watch the news and hear stories like, “Suburban teen commits crime, blames rap music.” Every time I heard that, I rolled my eyes.
Growing up on Hip-Hop and Gangster Rap, I thought, “How dare you blame music for someone’s choices? People know right from wrong.” For years, I believed music had absolutely no influence on me or my behavior.
Then, about six years ago, something changed.
I discovered an artist named Lizzy Jeff. Her music was inspiring, uplifting, and filled with messages that encouraged growth. It made me curious, so I created two playlists. One was called “Headed to Work,” packed with old-school rap, newer tracks, and everything in between. The other was called “Vibe,” filled with music that left me feeling peaceful, grounded, and inspired.
The difference was incredible.
On my drive to work, I’d blast my rap playlist. Before long, I was speeding, frustrated, dealing with road rage, and yelling at drivers who were too slow or making what I thought were ridiculous decisions.
After work, I’d switch to my “Vibe” playlist.
Suddenly, those same situations that had me fired up earlier in the day barely registered. Instead of anger, my reaction became, “Whatever.”
So I decided to experiment.
I switched the playlists around. Listening to the rap playlist again, I found myself not only following the lyrics but also replaying old arguments in my head. I started thinking about the friend who crossed me, or the way my boss spoke to me. My mind naturally drifted toward frustration and resentment.
That was my wake-up call.
What we listen to really can influence how we experience the world.
Ladies, we’ve all had that song playing while getting ready for a night out. Suddenly, we’re unstoppable, confident, and feeling like we own the room. Fellas, we’ve all had that one rap song that has you looking sideways at your significant other, wondering what they’re up to. 😂
Music has a way of shaping our emotions, our thoughts, and even our energy.
As I’ve grown in wisdom, I’ve realized I don’t want to constantly feed emotions that don’t serve me. I’ll still enjoy my old-school favorites every now and then—they’re part of who I am—but these days, if it isn’t uplifting, peaceful, healing, or maybe some smooth jazz, I usually don’t want to hear it.
We are all vibrating at our own unique frequency.
What we consistently consume becomes part of what we project back into the world. Whether it’s music, social media, television, or the conversations we surround ourselves with, it all contributes to the energy we carry.
So today, ask yourself one simple question:

Godd3ss Alicia
There’s a good chance you’ve picked up a bar of soap at the grocery store, turned it over, and wondered why the ingredient list seems to go on forever.
Then you pick up a handcrafted, small-batch natural soap, and the ingredient list is refreshingly short.
Why is that?
The answer comes down to how the soap is made, what it’s designed to do, and the maker's priorities.
Store-Bought Soap: Built for Consistency and Shelf Life
Large manufacturers produce millions of bars every year. Their products need to:
Sit on store shelves for months—or even years.
Survive shipping in varying climates.
Produce a rich lather that many consumers expect.
Look identical from one bar to the next.
Maintain a consistent fragrance and color.
To accomplish this, commercial soaps often include ingredients such as:
Preservatives
Synthetic fragrances
Artificial colorants
Stabilizers
Hardening agents
Foaming enhancers
Chelating agents that improve performance in hard water
These ingredients aren’t necessarily “bad.” They each serve a purpose, helping create a product that is affordable, consistent, and has a long shelf life.
Benefits of Store Brands
✔ Widely available
✔ Usually less expensive
✔ Long shelf life
✔ Consistent scent and appearance
✔ Produces abundant lather
Potential Drawbacks
Longer ingredient lists.
Synthetic fragrances or dyes may not be preferred by everyone, particularly those with sensitive skin.
Often made for the “average consumer” rather than individual skin preferences.
May contain detergents or additives that some people choose to avoid.
Small-Batch Natural Soap: Simplicity by Design
Small-batch soapmakers typically begin with a different philosophy.
Rather than creating a product that can sit in a warehouse for years, they’re focused on crafting a fresh, nourishing bar using thoughtfully selected ingredients.
A typical handcrafted soap may contain only:
Olive oil
Coconut oil
Shea butter
Cocoa butter
Castor oil
Natural botanicals
Essential oils (if used)
Sodium hydroxide (used during the soapmaking process and consumed during saponification)
Water
That’s it.
Each ingredient is intentionally chosen for its unique qualities.
The natural oils help cleanse while contributing different characteristics to the finished bar. Some create creamy lather, others help the soap feel conditioning, while butters add richness and hardness.
The Beauty of Small Batch
One of the greatest advantages of handcrafted soap is the care that goes into every batch.
Small makers can:
Carefully source quality ingredients.
Produce smaller quantities for freshness.
Experiment with botanical ingredients.
Create unique seasonal scents.
Hand-cut and inspect every bar.
No two batches are exactly alike—and that’s part of the beauty.
Each bar reflects craftsmanship rather than mass production.
It’s More Than Soap
For many people, switching to natural soap isn’t simply about washing their hands or showering.
It’s about slowing down.
It’s about becoming more mindful of what we put on our bodies.
It’s about supporting artisans and small businesses that pour love and intention into every product they create.
It’s choosing quality over quantity.
Which Is Better?
The answer depends on your priorities.
If convenience, consistency, and low cost are most important, store-brand soaps may be the right fit.
If you appreciate simple ingredients, handcrafted quality, and supporting small businesses, a small-batch natural soap may become one of your favorite daily rituals.
At A Godd3ss3s Cr3ation, we believe skincare can be intentional. Every handcrafted bar is created in small batches with thoughtfully selected ingredients, because what you use every day should nourish not only your skin, but also your sense of well-being.
Sometimes, the simplest ingredients tell the most beautiful story.

Breakfast: Breaking Your Fast with Intention 💚🌿
Godd3ss Ch3f Aisha
Each morning when the alarm gently wakes me, I ask myself one simple question:
“What will I break my fast with today?”
For years, my mornings looked the same—scrambled eggs, toast, maybe a couple slices of bacon, and a glass of juice. It was comforting and familiar, and I believed it was the best way to fuel my body.
Yet almost every morning, around 10 o’clock, I noticed the same pattern. My energy would fade, my mind would become sluggish, and I’d reach for a cup of coffee just to get through the rest of the morning. I never stopped to consider that the very meal meant to nourish me might have been contributing to how I felt.
Then someone shared a simple suggestion with me: Try eating melons for breakfast.
Since I absolutely love melons, I thought, Why not?
For one week, I enjoyed a beautiful combination of cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon, along with chia seeds and a glass of mineral-rich, sea-salt water.
To my surprise, everything shifted.
I felt satisfied for most of the day. My mind was clearer, my body felt lighter, and I had steady, natural energy—without needing coffee.
Our bodies are incredibly wise. Every bite we eat carries energy, and every food has its own rhythm of digestion.
For perspective:
🥚 Eggs: Approximately 3–4 hours to digest.
🥓 Bacon: Around 2–4 hours, sometimes up to 6 hours because of its higher fat content.
🍞 Toast: Leaves the stomach in about 1–3 hours, while complete digestion may take much longer, depending on the ingredients and what it’s eaten with.
This isn’t about labeling foods as “good” or “bad.” Everybody is unique, and what nourishes one person may not nourish another in the same way.
Instead, it’s an invitation to become more mindful.
Notice how your body feels after you eat. Pay attention to your energy, your clarity, and your mood. Sometimes the answers we’ve been searching for aren’t found in another cup of coffee—they begin with the choices we make to nourish ourselves.
When we honor our bodies with foods that feel alive and vibrant, we create space for healing, balance, and connection. Breaking our fast becomes more than eating our first meal—it becomes an act of gratitude, self-care, and intention.
May you nourish your body, quiet your mind, and feed your spirit.

The Best of Both Worlds: Why Modern and Holistic Medicine Can Work Together 🌿🩺
Godd3ss Aisha
For many years, people have felt like they had to choose a side.
You’re either “all natural” or you rely on modern medicine.
But what if the answer isn’t choosing one over the other?
What if the greatest path to wellness is finding a balance between the two?
Modern medicine has transformed countless lives. Emergency surgeries, life-saving medications, vaccines, diagnostic imaging, and medical breakthroughs have helped millions of people survive illnesses and injuries that would have once been fatal. For that, we should be incredibly grateful.
At the same time, holistic wellness reminds us that healing doesn’t stop when we leave the doctor’s office.
It continues in the choices we make every day.
The food we eat.
The amount of sleep we get.
How we move our bodies.
How we manage stress.
How we speak to ourselves.
The relationships we build.
Our emotional and spiritual well-being.
These are all important pieces of the wellness puzzle.
🌿 Modern Medicine Saves Lives
If you break a bone, have a heart attack, develop an infection, or face a serious medical condition, modern medicine is often exactly what you need.
Doctors, nurses, specialists, surgeons, and researchers dedicate their lives to helping others heal, and their knowledge is invaluable.
Seeking medical care isn’t a weakness—it’s wisdom.
💚 Holistic Wellness Helps You Thrive
Holistic practices can complement your medical care by helping you support your overall well-being.
Examples include:
Eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet.
Practicing breathwork or meditation to reduce stress.
Exercising regularly.
Getting quality sleep.
Spending time outdoors.
Using natural skincare products.
Taking time to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
These habits don’t replace medical treatment, but they can become meaningful parts of a healthier lifestyle.
🤝 Better Together
Think of your health like a team.
Modern medicine may be the emergency responder when something goes wrong.
Holistic wellness can be your daily coach, helping you build strength, resilience, and healthier habits over time.
One helps when you’re sick.
The other helps you invest in staying well.
Together, they create a more complete approach to caring for your mind, body, and spirit.
🌸 Finding Your Balance
Wellness isn’t about being perfect, and it isn’t about following someone else’s journey.
It’s about discovering what helps you feel your best while working with qualified healthcare professionals when medical care is needed.
The goal isn’t to replace one with the other.
The goal is to live a healthier, more intentional life by embracing the strengths of both.
Listen to your body.
Ask questions.
Stay curious.
Care for yourself every day.
And remember, healing comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s found in a doctor’s office. Sometimes it’s found during a peaceful walk, a nourishing meal, a deep breath, or a quiet moment of gratitude.
The most beautiful wellness journey may be the one where modern medicine and holistic living walk hand in hand.
