Comparison is sneaky. It quietly creeps into our thoughts. We then slowly start to feel discouraged, frustrated, unhappy or even angry, and we can’t pinpoint why. If you take time to really reflect on what is behind those emotions, you might find comparison is to blame. That’s why, in this week’s post, Denika is sharing five steps to stop comparison traps and reset our thoughts in a healthy way.

It’s the same story every year. December rolls around, and you start looking to January 1 and all the ways you want to change your life next year. While Denika loves the concept of a fresh start and setting goals, she also believes there’s a reason so many of us don’t accomplish them.

Read along as Denika shares her own tips for seeing goals through to the end, and there might be some free content along the way! ;)

Denika set out to journal daily at the beginning of 2020 — and we all know what a wild year that turned out to be!

Read along as she reflects on the value of this habit in her own life, as well as her tips on how you can begin journaling daily.

We’ve all been there. You get to the end of a long day at work, or you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and the tightness in your neck has you cringing every time you try to look to the side. Luckily, reducing that pain can be done with just a few simple stretches every day.

Over the past three years as a small business owner, God has taught Denika so much, but no lesson rings more true than the fact that the success of her business is not up to her. The past three years have taught her to faithfully leave the results in God’s hands because it isn’t up to her - it’s up to him.
