Regal Reflections: Developing a Queen's Mindset

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me”.

 Psalms 51:10 KJV

Hello Queen,

I pray you have been enjoying the beautiful sunshine of Summer and having fun with family and friends. While enjoying time with family and friends, I want to encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your life. Sometimes in order for us to move forward with grace, growth, and gratitude, we have to look back at where God has brought us from. Now, please understand, that this is not a reflection of guilt, shame, and blame, because you know I am not one for that because it helps no one. But this is a “regal reflection”. One that will empower you to see how strong you are by reflecting on what you have overcome. I am sure like all of us, you can say there were situations in your life that you did not feel you could make it. But looking at your life today by the grace of God, you did it.

Regal Reflections

Having those moments of mental regal reflections makes your heart feel joyful and puts a smile on your face. Dr. Sheldon Riklon, MD states “The connection between the heart and the mind is a two-way street. When we’re stressed or anxious, it can mess with our heart and increase the chance of heart disease. On the other hand, a healthy heart contributes to a healthy brain and emotional well-being”. Queen, that’s why it’s important, like King David, to ask God to give you a clean heart and renew in you a right spirit. Praying this prayer regularly and taking time to reflect on how good God has been to you creates a heart of gratitude and helps to develop a Queen’s mindset. Here’s how you can embark on this transformative path:

1. Reflect on Your Journey

Take a moment to reflect on where you’ve been. Every experience, whether a victory or a setback, has shaped you into the person you are today. My sister, don't be afraid to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Acknowledge your struggles, for they have taught you resilience and strength. Your journey is uniquely yours, and every step has brought you closer to your true authentic self.

2. Embrace Your Strengths and Weaknesses

A Queen’s Mindset is about self-awareness. Know your strengths and use them to your advantage. Understand your weaknesses and view them as opportunities for growth. Embracing both aspects of yourself is empowering. It allows you to approach life with authenticity and courage.

3. Set Boundaries and Prioritize Self-Care

As a Queen of your own life, it’s vital to set boundaries. Protect your energy and time by learning to say "no" when necessary. Prioritize self-care, for you cannot pour from an empty cup. Whether it’s indulging in a hobby, spending time with loved ones, or simply taking a moment of solitude, make self-care a non-negotiable part of your routine.

4. Cultivate a Positive Mindset 

Your thoughts shape your reality. Cultivate a positive mindset by focusing on gratitude and optimism. Challenge negative self-talk and replace it with affirmations that reinforce your worth and potential. Queen this is something I intentionally practice daily. Surround yourself with positivity, whether it’s through uplifting relationships, inspirational reading, motivational content, or spending quiet time with God.

5. Pursue Your Passions and Dreams

A Queen doesn’t shy away from her passions and dreams. Identify what sets your soul on fire and pursue it with unwavering determination. Whether it’s advancing in your career, starting a business, or engaging in creative endeavors, allow your passions to guide you. Remember, your dreams are valid, and you have the power to bring them to fruition.

6. Lift Others as You Rise

True Queens uplift others. As you climb the ladder of success in learning how to rule the many facets of your private world as Queen, extend a hand to those who are on their way up. Share your knowledge, offer support, and be a source of inspiration. Empowering others not only strengthens your sisterhood, your families, and your community but also reinforces your own sense of purpose and fulfillment.

7. Practice Gratitude and Celebrate Milestones

Gratitude is a powerful practice that shifts your focus from what you lack to what you have. Regularly acknowledge the blessings in your life, and celebrate your milestones, no matter how big or small. This practice fosters contentment and keeps you grounded in the present moment.

8. Embody Confidence and Grace

Confidence and grace are hallmarks of a Queen’s Mindset. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Walk with your head held high, knowing that you are capable and deserving of success. At the same time, approach life with grace, treating yourself and others with kindness and respect.

Conclusion

Make regal reflection a regular practice. Periodically evaluate your progress, reassess your goals, and adjust your course as needed. This ongoing process of reflection and adjustment ensures that you remain aligned with your true authentic self and continue to grow and evolve.

Embracing a Queen’s Mindset is a journey in itself. It’s about recognizing your worth, harnessing your strengths, and navigating life with confidence, grace, and resilience. Reflect on your journey, celebrate your uniqueness, and reign over your life with the mindset of a Queen. You deserve nothing less.

Love and Blessings,

Dr. Doris
