CONSISTENCY: STOP BREAKING PROMISES TO YOURSELF


"I'll do it later."

Aight, so boom. You know when somebody tells you they're going to do something and they don't follow through? Or when you think you've got something really good going with a person and they just disappear? Or when you're working with someone on a project and they don't do their part? It's really annoying and very hard to take anyone serious who can't be consistent.

Now, I want you to sit back, take minute or two and think about all of the times you've told yourself you were going to do something and didn't do it. I'll wait....

*Holding music: "When you left, I lost a part of me, this feels so hard to believe, come back baby please cause we belong togetherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"*

Oh okay, you're back. Now, when you broke those promises to yourself, did you feel the same anger or annoyance that you did when it came from someone else? Do you send little reminders to yourself so that you won't miss your own deadlines? Or do you just say "I'll get around to it, no big deal"?

KEEP. THAT. SAME. ENERGY.

My word this week was CONSISTENCY. When I'm tired or in a bad mood, I have a tendency to put everything off. I figure, I only have myself to answer to, so it doesn't really matter. Wrong. You are the most important person that you have to impress. If things don't get done, who else do you have to blame?

The moral of the story is, If you start it, finish it. We have to hold ourselves to as high of a standard as we do others. You can't get mad at someone else for doing to you what you do to yourself.  Just kidding, yes you can.

But you might as well call them back because both of ya'll are trash.

PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN

"I need a break." I have to say, I have been finding the internet to be exceptionally entertaining and funny lately. I'm always cracking up at someone's Instagram post, a meme on Facebook, or some random footage from Twitter. But then, there's the negativity, which is extremely draining. Y'all, I don't care how bad things get in my life, please, please, please, don't let me get on the internet arguing with people that don't have a profile picture and misspelling stuff trying to send a subliminal message to my man. Just... take my phone... okay? Photo: Stephen Nitz When I broke up with my last boyfriend, which was in the year 1802, I purposely took a short break from social media. I was upset and when I'm upset, like most folk, I have a tendency to make that apparent. I'd found myself clapping back at someone on social media once before and I was like "Britney girl, what you doin'? Ain't that why you got a blog?...

BRIT AIN`T JUST FUNNY

"So are you scared to kiss?" Guys, I`m the most awkward actress when it comes to love scenes. I know what you're thinking. "You're a comedic actress, why are you doing love scenes?", the answer is, because I`m sexy and desirable and dudes want to kiss me on camera. No seriously, I do a lot more than comedy. Making people laugh just happens to be one of my strong points. I am always open to more serious roles and I can do a pretty good job, if I say so myself! I've played everything from an old lady, to an old man, to a sexy new girl on the job (that was back when I could still fit them Abercrombie jeans). Oh my gosh y'all, let me tell you about the first time I had to kiss a guy on stage. First of all, I had a crush on him to begin with. My teacher grouped us together on purpose and gave us a scene as husband and wife. Our first day of rehearsal he asks me, "So are you scared to kiss?" In the back of my head I'm like "Yeah, we ...

DON`T LET IT GET TO YA

"After today, I`m deleting my page" Man sit your ass down (dude off of Martin voice). We all know that you're gonna be right back here next week telling us about how you're letting go of the fake people in your life, your boyfriend getting on your nerves, these girls be tripping or posting that pointless selfie of you in the bed. I see that junkie room behind you. You could of at least folded that laundry first. Okay I get it. We all need a little social media detox every now and then. Even me. It seems like people have become numb to seeing horrible images of fighting, killing, violence and hate being displayed right in their news feeds. Its sickening. And then there`s the booty pictures. Yes, we all have some saved in our camera roll but that doesn't mean you have to post it. Mam, don't look at me like that, I know you took a booty picture and sent it to your husband while he was at the office. Y'all nasty. I often find myself desiring that detox as ...
