Meet Shunda Jenkins

We recently connected with Shunda Jenkins and have shared our conversation below.

Shunda, thanks for taking the time to share your lessons with our community today. So, let’s jump right in – one of the most essential skills for unlocking our potential is self-discipline. Where does your self-discipline come from?
Self discipline is an inner driving force. It’s not something someone can give to you. It requires all of us to have an inner drive with ourselves. My drive to want to achieve something is a inner guidance I had since I was a child. I just always committed to what I wanted even when it sucked at times. I just showed up no matter what with a good attitude. I also learned early that we get to apply meaning to the things we take on so if I had a bad attitude about doing something it will only make me less likely to do that thing. So self discipline requires us to also change our attitude towards the things we are doing or trying to accomplish.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
Shunda Jenkins Author and Holistic Wellness Practitioner

I specialize in Energy Healing & Chakra Balancing, Balance Meditation Journeys, Intuitive Soul Mentoring, and Inspirational writing. I started my wellness journey in 2010 with a key focus on mental health. I was a burnt-out mom looking to learn new tools to balance my mind and emotions.

I started my journey out using physical exercise and quickly transitioned to holistic practices such as meditation, breathing, and energy healing.

Learning how to heal my body through my own journey inspired me to want to help others who may be struggling to find balance, feeling burnt out, or mentally and emotionally drained. Life can be stressful at times but with the right tools you are able to stay afloat.

I named my business Bloom Wellness Studio LLC because our body is like a flower and with the right care and nourishment, it will Bloom. If you are looking for a holistic approach to self care, feel free to book a free consultation.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Looking back three skills I would encourage others to have is.

1. Introspection. Being able to look at how you are navigating life mentally and emotionally. When we know how we are responding to life we are more likely to see how we have be generating a lot of our results which in turn helps you change your life.

2. Non-Judgement. This is something that I picked up in the beginning of my self development stages when I learned about NLP. When I first started out as a coach I always wondered why people were not getting results or following their diet and fitness plan. That’s when learning Neuro-Linguistics Programming (NLP) helped me be more compassionate toward others in a non judgy way. During that training I learned how we make decisions and how our programming affect our choices, including how we responded to situations. So when I understood that most people are not conscious of their behavior and our programming sometimes get in the way, I decided to no longer judge.

3. Never Give up. Unsure if this is a skill but this is what I feel like is important. When we are on our journeys in life it is easy to throw in the towel but we must keep going. Changing is hard it’s simply because our mind has been performing the same pattern for years and so when we want to change it takes a lot of energy to get up and be consistent to the journey. So never give up because if you keep showing up, you will accomplish everything you desire.

Bonus Skill
Have faith. This has nothing to do with religion but having faith is a inner knowing within your soul that you trust something and you don’t know why you trust it’s working out but you know it will. Faith is an undeniable belief in something happening without a doubt. I call it undeniable faith.

So how do you develop these skills. Daily self awareness. As you navigate through your day to day be conscious of your mental chatter and emotional state when you are having conversations or various situations. Analysis how you are feeling pause before answering so that you won’t operate in the same way you always do. When it comes to never giving up. Ask yourself why you want that thing. Write down your why and read it daily so when the days get challenging, you stay committed. Ways to harness non-judgement. Think about how you like to be treated. As we navigate the world treat others with kindness and recognize that others are doing their best even when we cannot see it. When we judge others it also affects us because we are all connected. How to harness faith? Faith is something that takes time. Building faith requires us to continue to pull from our past to help us overcome our future. One way to adopt undeniable faith is to think about all the experiences we have overcome knowing that we have overcome so much, we can use that level of understanding to know that we will also overcome the current situation. It takes time to get to this point but the more you remind yourself that everything has always worked out for you, you can relax knowing that this one will to.

If you knew you only had a decade of life left, how would you spend that decade?
I would spend it doing things I enjoy. Being in the moment. Making time for the things I been putting off. Death teaches you to value life more and spend time with people who you love and care for. As someone who has lost (3) important people in my life I have adopted this concept. Going after my goals. Doing things that I been wanting to try. Being present and joying the people who are still in my life. Having fun. Living instead of just existing.
