"SELF-AWARNESS"
Achieving your goals is hard enough. Don't let a lack of Self-Awareness slow down your progress. When you are unwilling to see yourself as you are - shortcomings and all - you set yourself up to fall victim to those exact shortcomings. Develop your ability to be real with yourself and get TF out of your own way, Cutie!
*Our four areas of focus this month will be in these areas of development:
-
Week 1 - Self-Care 101
-
Week 2 - Finances 101
-
Week 3 - Emotional IQ
-
Week 4 - Accountability 101
Self-Care 101
How much downtime do you need to ensure you're refreshed and ready to go when it's time to GO? Do you need 2 pedicures a month or 3? How many hours in your schedule do you need to dedicate to yourself? Finding the answers to these questions is a great way to practice "self-awareness."
Finances 101
Spending money is fun...but it's SO MUCH MORE fun when you spend wisely. Being aware of your spending/saving habits as well as the ideas that you've learned over the years about money will help you provide an ENTIRELY new level of financial security & freedom for yourself.
Emotional Intelligence 101
You don't need to "control" your emotions in order to feel like you are being aware of them. Most times, it's just about "feeling" them and learning from them. It takes courage to feel your feelings because not all of them actually "feel" good. This month, try your best to simply acknowledge what you are feeling. That is a good place to start.
Accountability 101
When you become aware of your own bullshit AND make meaningful change as a result, you are practicing accountability. Make this a normal thing and watch how your life changes for the better.

step 1
ADMITTING THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF YOUR BEHAVIOR
J. Cole said it best: "Pride is the devil." That's probably why this step is the HARDEST step in your Baddie Makeover. You're essentially taking ownership of your behaviors and how they effect your life and the lives of those closest to you and that is hard. If it was easy, why are there so many people looking for 'closure' with folks who treated them like trash? The 'closure' people are looking for is actually called 'accountability' and THAT is what you're trying to build. Step One is about building your awareness of how your actions effect other people.
CEASE!
Stop what you're doing.
UNDERSTAND!
You're working on yourself!
THINK!
Reflect on your progress!
EMBRACE!
Use what you've learned!
C.
CEASE! This is the hardest step. This is where you take accountability for your actions and in this case, you're essentially taking ownership of the effects of your actions. It's a hard thing to do, but it's the first step in taking the 'bad' out of your Baddie life.
U.
UNDERSTAND! It's fun being a Baddie. But being a true Baddie is a state of mind. It's more than just looks. It's understanding that you don't have to be a bad person in order to be a 'Baddie.' You can look AND feel good Cutie! UNDERSTAND THIS!
T.
THINK! Brainstorm all the positives about leveling yourself up. What do you stand to gain by practicing self-control in intense situations?
E.
EMBRACE! The first benefit of becoming self-aware of how your actions affect you and those around you is an improved self-awareness. The more you practice keeping track of how you show up, the more you will sit with the choices that shape your reality. You will begin to realize how powerful your choices are and THAT is called owning your power. Look how powerful you are! Embrace that and use that on your road to self-development.
step 2
CHOOSE DIFFERENTLY
After you've excepted the fact that your behavior may be doing more harm than good, it's time to make another decision. You've got to decide - oftentimes, in the moment - how you must proceed. This can get tricky especially if you've already put your foot in your mouth. You may also feel like you have to stay the course since this is what you are familiar with, even though you know it could very well end in disaster. Stop. Make another choice. A different choice. A better choice. Step Two is about you making the conscious choice to behave in a way that results with you looking and feeling good about yourself and how you show up in society.
CEASE!
Stop what you're doing.
UNDERSTAND!
You're working on yourself!
THINK!
Reflect on your progress!
EMBRACE!
Use what you've learned!

APPLICATION
Elementary school conditions us that 'THE TEST' is the most important part of the learning process. Here at Cutie Booty Media, INC. we believe that the magic happens when you apply what you learn. Think about it. Think about a time where application of theory is important in your life. What do you expect from people in your life when you tell them about your needs. How would you feel if they failed to 'apply' the knowledge you shared with them and continued on ignoring your needs. How would that make you feel? Now you understand the importance of 'application.' In Cuties Classes, the 'test' is whether or not you will 'apply' what you've learned. Only then will you begin to learn about yourself and what YOU NEED to 'feel cute.' You just have to apply these methods FIRST. The question and test is...will you?
