#MyselfIncluded
"I spent so much time encouraging and believing for others and left myself out. Which is why I created this saying "myself included." I no longer want to leave me out of it. It is time to include yourself in the conversation and the blessing! It is time to reveal, deal, and heal."
Angela B. Burgess
The Making of
#MyselfIncluded
#MyselfIncluded initially began as a simple Facebook page aimed at generating interest in the upcoming release of my book, "I Want This More Than God, So I'll Ask Him for It!" The strategy involved a series of five live sessions on Facebook, spanning five weeks, where each week featured two co-hosts discussing various topics from the book. The climax occurred in the fifth week with a segment titled "It's Going to Be BIG," during which I officially unveiled the book. The original plan was simple: conduct five Facebook live sessions, announce the book, and hope for purchases. However, the overwhelmingly positive feedback encouraged me to continue. I expanded my activities to include writing blogs and sustaining the weekly #MyselfIncluded Mondays live sessions on Facebook. This evolution gave rise to the broader platform known as #MyselfIncluded. Over the past two years, it has exceeded my initial expectations, evolving into a space where I now facilitate therapy groups, workshops, and seminars.
Mission
To Promote Wholeness & Healing
The process of becoming whole involves:
1. Feeling your feelings.
2. Being honest with yourself.
3. Making room for your healing.
A lot of times we want a "quick fix" where we think we've released it. But you have to GO THROUGH it, not around it. We run from the pain (because it hurts too much) or try to replace it with another feeling (i.e., alcohol, drugs, busyness, work, etc.) But things can and will get better! You got this!
Vision
Our vision is to champion a transformative journey toward wholeness and healing. Rooted in the belief that self-inclusion is paramount, we strive to create a safe space where individuals prioritize their well-being alongside others. Inspired by the self-healing journey, we recognize the power of self-affirmation and intentional self-care.
Our dedication is driven by the realization that, too often, we focus on encouraging and believing in others while neglecting ourselves. With the mantra 'myself included,' we are committed to reshaping this narrative. It's time to break the pattern of self-neglect and actively participate in our own growth, both in conversation and in the pursuit of blessings.
Embracing a journey of revelation, dealing with challenges, and facilitating healing, #MyselfIncluded encourages individuals to be proactive in their healing journey. We envision a community where self-love is not just a concept but a lived reality, fostering a culture of empowerment, resilience, and shared healing. Join us on this empowering quest to include yourself, reveal your true potential, and embark on a transformative path toward holistic well-being. Together, let's make #MyselfIncluded a beacon of self-discovery and self-love."
