Just a reminder: be kind to yourself always!

Now this can be interpreted a few different ways, but today is all about not getting so caught up in comparing self to others.

Comparison is said to be the thief of joy; no truer words have been spoken. Be mindful of how much attention and time you give to comparing yourself and/or your life to others; always remember who YOU are and what YOU are capable of. It does not matter where they are on their journey; what matters is where you are on yours. Embrace where you are on your journey; remembering your story is far from over as long as you keep writing it.

Life is going to life, which means it will be comprised of some good moments and some not so great moments. Be sure to know what moments are worth living in and what moments you need to move past to live a life worth living. Don't allow the not so great moments to become your life!

Moment of honesty: I struggled to come up with a caption for this, so I decided to share my thoughts. You see, I haven’t made a post in months. There was a time when creating a post was enjoyable until it started to feel like another task on my daily to-do list. That turned into me questioning myself, doubting myself, and comparing myself to other therapists. I began to wonder if my words would have meaning to others as they do my clients, which led to me not posting content I’d created because of the pressure I placed on myself. Recently, a few people challenged me to get back into posting. Interestingly, while doubting myself, I was still encouraging others to move past their doubts and fears and trust themselves.

At the end of it all, as a therapist, it’s important to me that I practice what I preach, can’t encourage others to do what I won’t. So today, I’m choosing to use my doubt as motivation and just post. Doing it scared and all.

Encouragement: Start the business, release the content, stop sitting on your ideas and turn them into something because there’s someone in need of what YOU have to offer, no matter how many others are doing the same thing.

Being in relationship, kinship, friendship, acquaintance-ship, work-ship, etc with people does not mean they are exempt from your boundaries.

Set boundaries with them instead of making excuses for them.

For many of us life is definitely lif-ing right now and is harder than usually. Nevertheless, don't let that be the reason you give up. Keep going.

Good morning! 💜

Just a word of encouragement.

Take a break if you need to, but dont give up.

Good morning! 💜

Often times we miss moments and experiences because we're so focused on the future we want we ignore our present needs. This sometimes results in us limiting ourselves.
Know this, opportunities in the present may be a stepping stone for the future you desire and deserve. At the end of it all, whatever is meant for you will be. Take the limits off and live in the NOW!

Good morning! 💜

May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

There are various ways to attend to your mental health but what's most important is remembering the importance of prioritizing your mental health not just in May but always.

Good morning! 💜

Choose you because sometimes it's necessary. Choose you because sometimes you deserve better. Choose you in spite of... because the saying is true people who mind dont matter but people who matter don’t mind.

Good morning! 💜

Oftentimes we get so caught up in waiting for the other shoe to drop that we don't enjoy and embrace whatever good is happening in our lives.

Take a moment today to reflect on the good happening to you and for you.

Good morning! 💜

Instead of focusing on what you're not doing or what you haven't accomplished, focus on what you have...that's enough to celebrate. So celebrate you today...celebrate your wins!

You're taking steps.
You're making progress.
You're doing good.
