Motivation Monday. 2021 may not be starting off the way we hoped, but don't let things slip, continue making steps to where you want to go.

Please share this. Help those who need it the most this year.

Monday blues? "Negative" thoughts are NORMAL. Notice them, be curious, and find ways to be gentle with yourself.

Wound words & Healing words. Are you aware of your wound words and where they come from? What are your healing words? What are the phrases and words that you needed to hear in the past? Can you tell yourself that now? Try it, practice it.

We often forget that our first experiences of relationships come from when we are babies and the relationship we had without caregivers. We learn how love "should" feel and how to "love" ourselves, however, these lessons are not always ones that make us feel good. No parent is perfect, such as no relationship is perfect therefore blame is not the answer. However, it is important to notice your past when it may be showing up in the present. It does not mean you are "defective"... it simply means you are human.

Self-care does not always need to be time-consuming actions like taking a long bath or watching a funny movie. Caring towards ourselves can be simply creating an internal dialogue that reminds us that we are okay and that we can get through this.
