Honest Moment ; I have been looking at my own upbringing of the childhood I had & fighting PPD. . . HARD
🫶🏼

I numbed out my entire twenties from substance abuse to not think about my childhood.
I am shockingly the most sober I've ever been & really having to take a look at my why. Like WHY AM I THE WAY I AM? 🫠

I have endured so much trauma that I have stored in my body ; physically & emotionally.
The filter I view myself through is full of anger, unworthiness, pain & fear. It stems from my own mother & how she treated me. It's wicked.
It reflects over into every relationship I have. That's unfair to myself & you.

This healing journey is the ugliest, longest, most beautiful ride.
I just want you to know if you are struggling ; you are not alone.

AKA yoga for anyone.
The goal; reach a parasympathetic state.
Your nervous system has 2 modes; rest or protect.
In our busy society today we don't know how to rest. When we rest out body is able to regenerate all that we need to recover. The more we go, go, go and don't stop the more we compromise our immunity and increase the risk of disease.
My goal: TO BRING THE ART OF REST TO LIFE💜
•
Restorative yoga is not your power yoga where you are in warrior or attempting to do a head stand. It is simply being still in a comfortable position breaking boundaries with PROPS!! Props include maybe 3 blankets, a block bolster, a roll bolster blocks, 4 sandbags... You can never have enough props when it comes to Restorative Yoga. Don't have blankets, use towels. Don't have bolsters, use pillows. Be resourceful make yourself comfortable so you may hold what ever pose you set up to be held for 2 to 5, why not a 10 min pose. ☺️
Your body should feel as if you are using no more than 20% of energy to hold pose. PROFOUND EFFORTLESS is the goal!

Come catch your breath under the oaks wit me. 🌳🍃🫶🏼🧘🏼‍♀️

The most important relationship you have in this world, is the one with yourself 🫶🏼

Here are a few simple reminders to support your overall well-being.

Make Time for Yourself ⌚

Practice Mindfulness 🧘🏼‍♀️

Connection 👯‍♀️♾️
Set Healthy Boundaries ✋

Remember to be gentle with yourself on this journey & give yourself grace. ✨
Small habit changes add up. It doesn't happen all at once or overnight.

I know I didn't list all the ways to show up for yourself.
What are some of your favorite ways to self care?

This year's featured Mayfest Artist is Kelly Logan Graham!

Kelly is legendary in the Lowcountry - and has been a resident here for over 40 years. His works are displayed in many businesses throughout town, and his art is also in private and corporate collections throughout the US and the UK.

He grew up in in the similarly sized small town of Blowing Rock, NC. Perhaps this is why his artwork so aptly depicts a simpler way of life. He lives near the May River, a source of inspiration for many of his drawings and paintings. Kelly paints in his home studio, and began painting from his boat, and painting plein-aire on location.

This gifted artist is celebrated for incorporating nature into his art, and his works are often described as defining Bluffton and the Bluffton lifestyle. According to Kelly, “I look for balance between what I see and what I feel. I regard my art as representational, stylistically wandering between realism, impressionism, and expressionism.”

In addition to his painting and playing drums in a local band, Kelly served (retired) as Executive Director of the Historical Bluffton Foundation at the Heyward House in Bluffton. He and his wife, Ann live close to the river and Old Town Bluffton

⁣🧠 Your mental health matters 💛

⠀
✨
As a mental health advocate, I’m becoming more excited for May to roll around as it’s Mental Health Awareness Month!
While mental health is a big passion and incorporated into my profession year-round, this month is one that highlights education, provides support, promotes advocacy, and fights stigma surrounding mental health. ⠀

⠀
✨
Just as we care for our physical health and do things to maintain it, our mental health needs intentional nurturing as well. Our mental and physical health are intertwined, which is so important to support both with intention. ⠀

⠀
✨
Keep in mind that mental health is a unique experience for each individual. While these ideas on nurturing mental health are helpful for me, all of them may not be helpful for you. I hope this post provides you with some ideas on where to start with caring for your mental wellbeing. 🤙☀️

⠀

What helps you nurture your mental health? Do you relate to any of these ideas? I’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments below. 💭
