How do you 𝐧𝐨𝐭 care about approval?  
 
People-pleasing and approval-seeking are ways that we humans protect ourselves from emotional pain (rejection, shame, and ultimately the fear of being alone). This behavior pattern can keep us from trusting our decisions and living our lives on our own terms. Swipe for some ways to start challenging approval-seeking behaviors.

Be yourself 🦄 
 
 
 
 
 

Why as humans 
do we insist on learning things 
the hard way 
 
 
Why don’t we listen 
to the person with the  
near-death experience  
who tells us to appreciate every moment 
and that God loves us 
and everything will work out 
 
 
Why does it take 
traumatic events 
to get us to finally take care of ourselves 
and accept ourselves  
and stop worrying  
about what people think? 
 
 
We can be the ones who listen 
And become our true selves 
Before it is  
too late

Talk to yourself the way you’d talk to a dear friend; give yourself compassion and grace.

Self-care summer! We often know the things we need to do - or not do - to operate on our highest planes. It takes more work, however, to take care of ourselves than it does to just go through the motions of life.
Summer is a great time to work on our self-care. That means different things to different people, but for me it means:
-a balanced diet
-cooking and preparing foods
-exercise (spin / dance / barre)
-social health (making an effort to spend time with inspiring and calming people)
-reading for work and for fun
-listening to affirmations
-writing in my gratitude journal
-attending church
-being outdoors
-keeping my space tidy
-working on and in my business
-abstaining from alcohol
-less time on my phone
-less travel
How do you take care of yourself? Want to join me in self care summer?

Glammed up for a good cause 💫.
hosted a gala to raise money to fund the mental health resources they provide to high schoolers. I was honored to be on the host committee and walk in the fashion show.
Special thanks to for getting me involved and spearheading this incredible event, for event planning, for styling, for my tan, and for my makeup.
Shoutout to my husband, parents, and friends for coming out and supporting!!

“Peace requires us to surrender our illusions of control.” Jack Kornfield
Whenever you notice yourself worrying about the future, belittling yourself, fussing over what others may think - stop, breathe deeply, and switch to a silent loving-kindness meditation, repeating phrases like: “May I be happy. May I be calm. May I feel safe and protected.” ~Martha Beck

Asking for help. Appearing on camera. Talking about our feelings. Exercising. Setting boundaries. Cooking. Networking. 🌟Things get easier with practice 🌟

Before letting your anxious thoughts spiral - do a quick inventory on sleep, diet, and movement. Maybe you just need a good night of sleep, and not to quit your job and cut bangs and move to Alaska. Or maybe you are taking good care of yourself and feel a pull to make a more dramatic life change 🙂.
Yes, it takes a lot of work to take care of yourself. And you can do it.

This makes people sound insecure*:

1. Diminishing someone else’s success (ex. “You know, his dad funded…” or “she was only invited because…” or “five years ago they were in debt…”
2. Talking about what anyone posts on social media in a negative way. You might make different choices; go ahead and make those choices on your own page.
3. Saying “must be nice” when you hear about something positive in someone else’s life.
4. Counting someone else’s pennies. Unless they owe you money, it’s not your business how they spend theirs.

*It is normal to feel jealousy or insecurity at times. We all feel it. When we catch ourselves doing the things above, we can reframe our thinking by asking ourselves “what about this triggered my insecurity?” This can help us learn more about ourselves 🤍. Picture of my puppy because she’s adorable 😁

I promise this is a positive post: we never “arrive.” Not when we make six or seven or eight figures, not when we lose the weight, not when we get that degree, not once we’re home from a dreamy vacation.
Expecting ourselves to “arrive” (meaning - “I’ll be happy once I achieve XYZ”) is not satisfying for three reasons:

1. As we grow and change, our eyes are opened to new possibilities. We set new goals when we learn new things.
2. Because we grow on the way to achieving our goals, we know we are capable of even bigger things. We are different people when we set a goal than who we are when we meet a goal.
3. We cannot wait to feel confident and happy because we do not know how long we have on this earth. We have to figure out ways to enjoy the journey.
Let’s start expecting ourselves to change as we gather new information. We are supposed to change our minds and reset our goals throughout our lives! And - let’s be confident and appreciate ourselves right now. We might be different tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t great today.
