Thoughts for the day ahead.

Be that someone 💕

Enjoy the peace…

Changing your view of the situation can change your relationships.

Some people cannot be what you need. This is not easy to accept, but it is beneficial.

We’ve all done it! 😉💁🏼‍♀️

{People-pleasing is not kindness.}

Living to make others happy often leaves you unhappy. People-pleasing is rooted in not feeling worthy of love, fearing rejection, or unhealthy self-esteem.

You can be in a healthy relationship with others AND take care of yourself.
Healthy people want you to be able to be happy and healthy.

You are not kind to yourself when you neglect your needs for the needs of others.

I was taking five and reading my current book -Set Boundaries, find peace -by the brilliant Nedra Tawwab and came across this passage which I found very useful for the current climate.
I’m finding the news very overwhelming, not because I don’t care but because I care too much.

Check our the signs. Are you doing any of these things?

Relationships are not supposed to cause stress and lead to mental health issues. When they do, evaluate the relationship and your role in the relationship.

Love does not equal pain.

Boundaries are the root of a lot of problems.

People don’t have to agree with boundaries for you to execute them. Boundaries are meant to keep you safe. And they are meant to keep you comfortable. Your comfort may make others uncomfortable, and that’s okay.

Always remember.

You deserve

As I read this now, I say "yes", "yes", "yes". But when I imagine 22-year-old me, each of these points would be followed by a "but..." justifying why I was doing every single one of these things.
It wasn't worth it to live in spaces like this.

I can’t think of a better way to start 2022 than by looking ourselves, our emotions, our scars, our beauty, our mess, our strengths, and our fears in the eye.

Finding our way back to ourselves and each other is not the stuff of resolutions. It’s the raw material of a revolution.

Thank you Dr. Laurie Santos for this great conversation.

Happy New Year to all my clients old and new. 🥳

Know your worth

Stay true to who you are and never let anyone dim your light. ✨

Shine bright! 🌟

This 💯! set those boundaries out and tell them how you need to be treated, if that person refuses or chooses not to, they are not right for you. 💝 You are worthy of unconditional love 💕

And the same goes for our friends, family and loved ones.

None of us will get it right all the time; all that matters is that we keep trying. 🧡

I feel like this has been the pattern of the last 18 months during COVID, it’s just exhausting to be hyper aware all the time.

If you are feeling troubled 🫂

😘😘😘

Remember those boundaries!!!!

If yesterday wasn’t a productive day just concentrate on the things that you did do. 💕

Following on from my other post. In school I received a lot of negativity from peers, it took a long time to see that what was said wasn’t true and were just unkind words. I wish my 15 year old self could see me now. 💕 🥰

To love ones self, to love another and receive love in return 💝

Rest is self care. Xx

What keeps your light shining?

Boundaries! 👏🏻
