Forgiving Yourself
Being human comes with many wonderful moments; it’s also laced with mistakes. The time for forgiving yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know is now.
The Sound of Silence
Change the old patterns that you are comfortable with yet are toxic. Take out the clutter in your life to make room for a clean and healthy mental and physical environment for yourself to create a peaceful silence in your life (and sleep!). It’s a win-win for both you and others in your life.
Finding Ways to Honor Yourself
Here’s a scenario to consider; someone asks you to attend a gathering, and you feel compelled to go. You don’t want to, but what would they think of you if you didn’t? Ask these questions; Why don’t you want to go? Why do you feel compelled to go? What would happen if you honored yourself and didn’t go?
Merry-Go-Round Mind
When do you run your mind tapes during the day? Just before sleep or first thing in the morning? We all do it. The balance happens when we don’t let it cycle over and over and over and… over.
Avoiding the Rabbit Hole
How far down the rabbit hole shall you go before you know you’ve gone too far? I’ve had conversations with professional and family caregivers alike who have taken too many steps down the road of life with blinders knowing they’ll pull through it. Burnout can sneak up like a bullet train.
