Oprah Winfrey once said, you cannot have a meaningful life without self reflection. So why is self reflection so important? And why is it the key to a meaningful life? Well, it creates continuous self awareness, it gives you perspective, and it helps us identify areas of our lives that need improvement. And on the flip side of that, areas where we are stronger than ever. What is going on? Beautiful people? You are listening to the Affirmations for Black Girls podcast where we focus on personal growth and cultivating a healthy relationship with ourselves. I. I'm your host, Tyra, the creative actress, content creator, and mental health enthusiast. And today, y'all, we just chatting. You guys love last week's episode, so I wanted to do some more reflection. I am in the beginning stages of a new chapter in my life. You know, we always try to rediscover ourselves after a breakup, and that is where your girl is. So before we get into our chatty chat, we have to jump into our affirmation of the week. This week's affirmation is I release self criticism and choose self love. Let's drop in, y'all. I release self criticism and choose self love. I release self criticism and choose self love. I release self criticism and choose self love. I release self criticism and choose self love. I release self criticism and choose self love. I release self criticism and choose self love. Oh, you guys, we gotta choose self love. We gotta choose it. So when I was younger, you could not get me to reflect on any given situation. And now that I'm older, all I do is reflect. I have exercise that muscle so much that it's second nature to me now. But one day I was thinking to myself, tyra, why don't you want to reflect? And it hit me. I was afraid to unearth things that I had suppressed. I didn't want to feel those things. I equated suppression with getting over something when I was growing up. Well, honestly, technically that's what it was. I was getting over things by suppression versus getting through things by walking through them and making sure that I have process them in a healthy way. So today y'all, we're going to dive into some self reflection questions. I'm going to pull out my we're not really Strangers self reflection kit. So grab your notebooks if you want to follow along. If you haven't been listening to the podcast lately, I just bought these self reflection questions from We're Not Really Strangers and I'm going to link them down below for you. But it came with a notebook and the idea is to write down all of your answers as journal prompts. So if you want to grab a notebook, go ahead and pause, grab your notebook and come back. But we're going to do three questions out of this deck and I'm just going to pick them at random. And y'all, these questions are deep. Okay, so let's jump right in. All right, let me go ahead and shuffle these up because I'm literally just gonna pick them at random and I'm so nervous. Okay, question number one. Ooh, this is a wild card. So what feels impossible today that would shock me to accomplish in a year? Write it down and date it. Oh, this is a good one. I guess what feels impossible today that would shock me to accomplish in a year would definitely be. I have two things and I'll just share them both. As far as my acting career goes, what would shock me is booking a series regular role, booking on a show that is popular, booking on a show that people love, and just booking my first series regular role. I think that would shock me for it to happen in the next year or to accomplish that in the next year. And as far as my creative endeavors like my podcast and stuff, I think what feels impossible today that would shock me would. Honestly, it would be to have like to. So let me let you guys in on the back end of the podcast for a second. So I average about 25,000 downloads per episode during the first month. So what seems impossible is averaging a hundred thousand downloads per episode every month. And I think that would definitely shock me for it to happen within the next year. And I know the way that that can happen is making sure that I'm staying consist, making sure that I'm giving you guys great content and making sure that you guys feel like sharing it with Your friends sharing it with people.

What I'm putting out. So those two things feel impossible. Even though I don't believe things are impossible, but they feel very far fetched. They feel very out there. But I know that I serve a good God. Amen. So, God, I'm putting it out there that I would. I would love for these two things to happen within the next year. Okay, let's get another question going. We might do more than three, y'all. I'm gonna decide in a second. Okay, question number two. Oh, what? Can I be kinder towards myself for today? Oh, my gosh. I have been, y'all. I have been working on being much kinder to myself. I really have. And I can go on and on about this. When I was growing up, I was very hard on myself. And I did it in a way where. How do I explain this? So I would be hard on myself because I was hard on other people, because I thought that since I was talking to these people this way, I should talk to myself the same way. And even thinking about that now, it just blows my mind that that is how I was thinking about life. Even in my relationship with the boyfriend that I moved out to California with, he used to always say, why do you talk like that? And I'll. And I would just be like, well, I talk to myself like that. So what? And that was my scapegoat. To be able to continually talk to people in a more negative way or a less than positive way or just not be kind to people. And I wouldn't say things like, you stupid or, you know, stuff like that. I would just be very hard on people versus being supportive and saying things in a kinder way. And it just kind of continued so more so recently, I would say, like, in the last two years or so, I have been consciously being kinder to myself. And I know I've brought up the. The Mjoy app to you guys before, but I've been using that app. There's a lot of body image and self reflection exercises in that app that can help you be kinder to yourself and love yourself in your own skin a little bit more. So highly recommend that if you are in a space where you're not very kind to yourself, you can try some of their exercises. I know for me, I am not really kind to myself based on my body. And so my whole life I have been. I've been a thick girl. And for the longest time, I did not love the skin that I was in. And that's just what it was. And I know a lot of people practice, like, body neutrality and things like that, but for me, I want to love myself. And the reason I want to love myself is because I know how I am. When I love something, I am going to treat it with the utmost respect. I am going to do things for it or for it. I'm talking about my body specifically, but I'm going to do things that I wouldn't necessarily do if I felt neutral towards something. So I personally want to love my body. So that's what I've been working on. Like I said, I've been in the gym, y'all. I'm starting to look good and to tie it together. One of the exercises that was super hard for me in the mJoy app was like a five minute. A five minute session of me looking in the mirror naked, just looking at myself and only saying things that I loved. And that was one of the hardest things that I've ever had to do. And now it's something that has become almost a daily practice. So whenever I remember to, I stand in front of my mirror as soon as I get out of the shower and I say things that I love about my body and I leave it at that. And I think I was talking to one of my best friends about this. I think we go through so many phases with our bodies that sometimes it's just hard to always love it, which is, you know, it's life. So one thing that we were talking about, she was saying, like, I need to start wearing adult clothes. Like, woman clothes. Like, I need to stop shopping at, like, Forever 21 and all of these places. And I was like, girl, you right. Like, we can't shop at Forever 21 for real, because we not 21 forever. And she shops at places like Zara now. And you know, Zara is much more expensive than Forever 21. And I think that's the. I think that's where we were since we are in our late 20s. But we're becoming actual women. We have to really transition into wearing better clothing. So when we had that conversation, I was like, okay, Tyra, like, we got to stop wearing clothes that, first of all, too tight down to your draws, y'all. My underwear used to be so tight on me, and I would just wear them because let's just say that you buy some underwear, you don't really want to take it back. I would just wear them and they would be so unflattering. You can see them through my pants and all of this stuff. And I just would not like how I looked. But I think the biggest thing about me not liking how I looked more so like recently since I've been getting older is because I don't be wearing clothes for my body. But anyways, I just, I think one way that I can be kinder to myself is definitely still in this process of loving my body. And I think, I don't know, I think that's going to be like an ongoing thing because my body is going to continuously change. So I think, I think that's why I'm picking loving my body as a way that I can be more kind to myself. And lately I've just been making sure that I get clothes that, that fit. To be completely honest, like, yeah, I think we just, we just need to wear clothes that fit. And for me, that will take away a lot of the self criticism that I have in my head on a, on a daily basis.

Time, I was feeling like I was on top of my finances. Bills paid, budget set, everything looking good. But then life, you know, started. Life in a financial journey is rarely ever linear. And sometimes the old me would have just taken an overdraft hit, okay, shed a little tear and kept it pushing. But now I've learned to plan ahead.

Letting random transactions throw off my whole flow. Because who has time for unnecessary fees? Sometimes I think getting my finances together means making huge sacrifices, like giving up certain hobbies that genuinely bring me joy. But the truth is I saw the biggest change when I started with small, manageable changes. I can appreciate Chime for its checking account because it comes with a ton of useful perks like no maintenance fees, hello fee, free overdraft coverage up to $200 hello and the ability to get paid up to two days early with direct deposit hello.

Okay, let's find another question. Let's see. And pull from this side. I split my deck in half. Okay. Oh, See, this deck be coming for your neck. We got two easy questions starting out, but this deck really be coming for your neck. Okay, third question. Which one of my mistakes taught me the most this past year? What did it teach me? Oh, gosh, y'all. Okay, I need a second to think on this one. I think I have to bring it back to my most recent breakup, y'all. And I think I have to bring it back there because, like I said in last week's episode, I am the type of person who will beg for love. And that's something that I realized after my last relationship ended. He said he wanted to focus on himself, and I'm like, well, I can be there. What do you mean? Like, if it's not me, we can figure this out, all of this stuff. And I think that was a mistake because it prolonged my healing process, and it also did not help with our relationship. He was like, listen, I. I need this time for myself. So he was feeling like I wasn't listening to him and I was being selfish, and I can see how that would be the case. But I think the mistake of it all was, during that time, I wasn't reflecting. I wasn't sitting with myself and saying, okay, what does Tyra need? My mind went to, I don't want this relationship to end. So I'm gonna do everything in my power for it not to end. And I think that was a. A big mistake, and I think it taught me the most because I realized the pattern that I had. That is something, like I said last week, I have begged just about every one of my boyfriends to stay with me at least once. And it was more so because it's. It's attached to my attachment style. I'm very anxiously attached, and it is something that I'm working on, and we gotta. Y'all, we gotta jump into attachment styles on the podcast, but it is something that I'm working on and I'm way better at now. But what did it teach me? It taught me that it was a pattern. It taught me that it was attached to my childhood trauma that I have been working through. And I just learned that once you realize that something is a pattern and that this is something that you fall into, it's easier to get out of it, because now you can. You see it from the outside versus only seeing it from being in it. So once I realized I was like, tyra, dang, like, you've been here before, I was. It was easier for me to say, no, I'm not doing this. And it's because I've been through it before. It's because I've made that mistake before. It's because I have been spending time reflecting and getting to know myself and actually processing events and experiences that I've had in the past. I was able to say, tyra, no, we're not doing this again, because we know where this will lead us, and it's nowhere that you want to be. And it's also not what you trying to do in the first place. It's not the. The end goal for you. And, yeah, I think that was one of my mistakes that taught me the most. See, I told y'all these questions be coming for your neck, and I got to go back and write all of my answers in my journal. So let me put these to the side. We're going to do one more. We got a little bit of time. Okay, let me grab another question.
- [24:19]
Tyra
Oh.
- [24:20]
Co-host
Oh, y'all, this deck, I'm buy it now, because this is just crazy. Okay, what have I been sensitive to lately? Oh, y'all, this is a. This is a good one. When I say this deck is reading me my rights, because I've been talking about this lately, so there's a few things that I've been sensitive to lately, and I think I just want to touch on two things. I'll take it back to. What year is that? 2021. The end of 20. Oh, yeah, the end of 2021. So I normally go home for Christmas and that's it. And for Christmas in 2021, my family, my dad's side of the family, decided to do a trip to Tennessee. And it was a fun trip, but I started to realize that I was very sensitive to the way people spoke to each other and the way people spoke to me. And I think this goes back to that kindness bit. I think especially black people, and especially people from the south, we can use our words as weapons and then chalk it up to just, you know, having fun or making it a joke. And this is something that my family does, and it's not something. It's something that I did, I guess I did partake in when I was younger just to fit in. But for the most part, it's always been something that has bothered me. And while I was on vacation with them, I just realized how uneasy it made me to be around people who talked in this way. And it wasn't necessarily, you know, super bad. It was just. They was talking about each other. You know, they were just razzing on each other, they were just driving on each other, whatever you want to call it. They was just making jokes on each other. And it was an ongoing thing. Like, it's always versus, you know, just doing it once and then actually saying something nice about the person. So I just realized that it just made me a little uncomfortable and that I'm sensitive to it and I just didn't like how I felt around that. That kind of thing. I don't even know how to, like, put a little bow on it and say what it was. But I don't. I don't really like that. If you don't have nothing nice to say to me at this stage in my life, I don't want to hear it. Even, like with my friends, my friends used to. We all, you know, joke. We always used to joke and stuff. But even something as simple as, oh, Tyra, you got a small chest, I don't want to hear that. And it's because. Especially when it's about, like, my body or something that I can't change. I don't want to hear anything like that now. A joke.
- [27:12]
Tyra
Jokes are fine.
- [27:13]
Co-host
I'm not. I love a good joke, and sometimes things like that are. Are funny. But when it's directly. When you're directly making fun of something that I can't change like that, then I'm like, okay, that's not really. That's not really funny. But let's just say, oh, tired of those pants that you got on. They make your butt look flat. That's fine, you know, but don't make fun of my body or things that I can't change or even, like, my intelligence and stuff like that. That's something that I've been very sensitive to. And I guess on the. On the other side of that, something else that I have been very sensitive to is. How do I say this? I have normally. Not even normally, lately, I've been more so of the person that people come to for advice, comfort, or a little motivation. And I have been more sensitive to people complaining to me. And I think it's because I have. I started to internalize it a little bit, I guess, and it's just not something that I really want to do anymore, if I'm being completely honest. And I. I am definitely flattered. And it makes me feel good that people love to come to me for advice and things like that. But, y'all, it's tiring, and it can definitely affect my mood as well. So I've been a little sensitive to complainers, people who come to complain or come to just dump on me. I have been very sensitive to that in a way that I want to steer clear from it. Now, those are two things that I want to steer clear from. And just talking about this reflection question. And that's why these reflection questions are so dope, y'all, because they really just. They take you deep into your mind, and it just. Oh, my gosh, I just love it. I don't even know how to articulate what I'm trying to say or how I'm feeling right now. But it just takes you deep into your mind and you see all the pathways and how things connect and how things are related to each other and how one thing leads to another, literally. So those are two things that I'm trying to steer away from in as my sensitivity grows. But I'm also sensitive in a way of things that I want to lean into. So I'm very sensitive to the energy of my space these days. And I think it's because I'm getting older and I take pride in my space and those types of things. But I want my space to be my space, and that's why I'm glad that I'm living alone. I can do the things that I want in my space. My space needs to feel like home to me. I haven't really had that in the past, in past apartments or even my dorm. I haven't really had a space that felt like home since my childhood bedroom, if I'm being honest. Because once I graduated from high school, I went to college, then I moved to New Jersey, then I moved to la, and. And that's it. Like, I have. I've been on the move so often that I never had a space that was mine. So I'm very sensitive to my private space and my me time, my sanctuary. And I want to lean into making sure that my space is the space that I want it to be when I walk in. I want to feel welcomed when I walk in. I want to. I want it to be filled with positive spirits. Amen. I want to be. I want my space to be filled with God. Amen. And this just makes me think about a song that I always play. It's called Clean this House by. What's his name? Isaac. I'll put it down below, but his name is Isaac something. And it goes like, clean this house from the inside out. And I play that all the time to just, you know, cleanse my space and just remind myself like. Like, your space affects you every single day and you should be sensitive to it. So fill it with things that you.

Your atmosphere is so important. So those are a couple of things that I've been sensitive to lately. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you should lean into self reflection. Self reflection is one of my favorite things to do with myself. And I think that's because for such a long time, I never sat still and got quiet and looked within. I always searched for answers to my problems from the outside, but I also could never answer simple personal questions like, how does that make you feel? I always kept it surface because it was easier. So one of my goals is to finish this entire self reflection deck to get to know Tyra just a little better. And I would love for you to join me on this. So I link the kit that I have below in the show notes. Now I really want us to get to know ourselves on a deeper and more personal level. Foreign. You guys, you know what time it is? It is time for our fun closing segment. And today's closing segment is recommendation of the day. Now, I have three recommendations for you guys, so we just gonna go through them really quickly. But did y'all know that April is national brunch Month, y'all? I went to brunch yesterday at this place called Bakari in Silver Lake. Yeah, it was in Silver Lake. Food was phenomenal. Drinks were phenomenal. I cannot wait to go back. But my first recommendation is for you to try a new brunch spot for National Brunch Month. It is currently April 16, so you got about half a month left. So go try some brunch and take some pictures, post them on Instagram and tag us in at Affirmations. Affirmations for black Girls. Or post it on Twitter and tag us at AFBG Underscore Podcast. Show me that you went to brunch. Show me that I recommended that you go to brunch. And then you went to brunch and you tried a good restaurant and that the food was bomb. Okay, let me know. I love celebrating, like, National Days, national months. It just gives you a little more excitement throughout your regular day. My second recommendation, y'all, this is something that I just re signed up for. It's called Class Pass. Now, if you haven't heard of it, it's an. And it's a health and wellness app. Health, wellness, beauty, everything, honestly, that you can get. And you have, like, a monthly subscription. I think the one that I pay for is like 15amonth. And you get credits that you can use to go to various gyms, wellness spas, or.

Let me turn my phone off. I'm over here getting notifications and stuff, or even nail salons and things like that. You can get your nails done and all of that stuff. My. One of my friends, she recently just got class passed. And I had it before, but I only took one class at that time. And I was like, I don't know if I would use this, but she went to an aerial fitness class. She went to a trampoline class. She took a step class, and she went and got a massage. And I was like, girl, what? Like, I never even realized just how. How dope this app was. And it is all over the United States. I don't know if it's every single place, but definitely check it out. But I linked it down below for you to get 20 bonus credits and a free trial. So you'll get 40. It's 48 credits, but you'll get 20 bonus credits on top of that that you can use if you join Class Pass with my link. I linked it down below, and if you've already had Class Pass in the past, you can still sign up for a new free trial, because that's what I did. And I was like, oh, my God.

So if you're trying to find, like, different classes to take or figure out what your Wellness Journey should look like. Or if you want to start getting your nails done again, or even your eyebrows, I saw a girl that do lashes on there. Like, if you are looking for new things to do in your area or, you know, build to build your community, I would recommend that you try Class Pass and use my link down below because then you'll get 20 bonus credits. And the last thing that I want to recommend to you guys is we're not really strangers. Dicks. Now, if you've been an OG on the podcast, listening to the podcast and you know that I have a few of these dicks. I have the Honest Dating, I have the Breakup Edition, and I also have. I have the Red Table Talk Deeper Questions one expansion pack. And now I have the Self Reflection Edition. And there's so many to choose from, so I linked it down below so you can go check it out. But there's tons of them there. So even if you have kids, there's one for kids, there's one for couples, there's so many. And the reason that I recommend this is because you can ask questions that you probably would have never just asked. And it also helps build that muscle to thinking in this way around your loved ones. So that's why I personally love it and I always pull it out when I have friends over or Even if I'm FaceTiming a friend, I'll be like, let's answer a question. It's become something that I absolutely love to do and it's also helped me exercise my brain in a way to get to know my friends and family a little more. So highly recommend we're not really strangers. And I linked it down below. I don't have like a code or anything because this is not sponsored. But yes, highly recommend it.
