Namaste & Welcome!
My name is Nelia and I am so happy you've come to experience my page! I created my blog to simply express myself and share my journey with you, as well as help you with yours! I'm undeniably new to this whole thing but iv come to a place in life that I finally feel free to do what I want and be who I damn well please!
A Little Something, Something About Me!
There really isn't much of an introduction. As wild of a background as I have, I'm still just a pretty simple person. I love the simple things in life &I enjoy the sweet moments of life as they come to me. I have a beautiful five year old daughter named Amelia Lynn. &Shes the center of my world. I take pride in my Motherhood. We are a feisty experiment of Irish and Puerto Rican. I was raised in the city by my grandparents and i came up with eight brothers and sisters.
I attended public schools my whole life &I finished school with my Life Coach Certification as well as becoming a Registered Yoga Teacher.
Note To Self : "You Go Glenn Coco!"
My journey began well over 20+ years ago but my inner work journey truly began about six or seven years ago. I battled with self esteem, anxiety, and depression for years before I truly started reflecting. I was in two very toxic relationships prior to starting my inner work. I deemed them completely normal &blamed myself for all the wrongs in my relationships. It was a completely incorrect way of thinking and living. However, in all honesty I didn't know any better. At that age I had no real life experience, just getting out of high school and battling my own emotions, I just assumed it would all eventually get better. I was WRONG! In fact I look back now and wish someone would of just smacked the reality into my ass! It wasn't until I went for my certification that i realized I was treating myself terribly. Yes, just like that. We must be honest about how we treat ourselves. "Don't sugar coat things when speaking to your own soul. The one thing we owe ourselves is honesty."
I began growing a better understanding of myself because when learning to coach others you learn to break down the flaws we have of ourselves in our own minds. I applied that same practice to my own life.
Why am I being so hard on myself when I know I'm doing my best, because someone else was hard on me when I gave my best. Why don't i feel beautiful unless I wear make up and fancy clothes, because someone else made me feel ugly when I showed up as my best self.
The problem however wasn't the other people.. it was me. I let them in my head. I let them stir up my pot of self reflection. I was finally learning to control my own mind and stop allowing persons with bad intentions in on my aura and good vibes. I learned to protect myself in a way that only I could control and understand. Something no one could take from me.
I began working on daily reflections. I would journal my emotions and their reasons for being present. I wanted full understanding on how to control what triggered how I felt and why. I was in control of my own life again. Finally more comfortable in my own skin and with my spirituality I began dating again. Exploring where life would take me and just overall taking better care of myself. I was attending yoga classes &meditating often. Working out in the gym and just growing mentally and physically.
I was motivated to go back to school and complete my yoga certification. The beauty in the practice of yoga alone was life changing. Just when you think you are where you are supposed to be, you elevate a bit higher in life &it is truly beautiful. You learn to give love and positivity and it becomes natural to block out negative energies.
The moral of my introduction is that I started in the same emotions and state of mind as a lot of other people and I decided to change. However, it doesn't matter where you start but that you start somewhere. No matter where you are in life, you can change the course of the ship at anytime. The ride is yours &if you aren't feeling its course, change it.
