Hey friends & followers,

It's with a heavy heart that I'm saying goodbye to my Trauma-Sensitive Yoga sessions for the time being.

I've recently said farewell to some lovely people in their 1:1 sessions and feel it is time to take a break.
I've been feeling the weight of responsibility and compassion and to be honest with working full time + extra hours, I've been struggling to keep up with my own self-care. Some of my days have been starting at 5am and finishing at 10:30pm!

As much as I love trauma sensitive yoga and connecting with people on their healing journey , I need to prioritize my own health and wellbeing right now.

It's not that I don't want to continue this work, but I've come to realize that I can't pour from an empty cup. I need to take care of myself so that I can continue to show up for others in the best way possible.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who have joined me on this journey. Your stories, your struggles, and your triumphs have been a constant source of inspiration and motivation for me.

Though this chapter is closing, I know that the lessons and connections I've made will stay with me forever. And who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to pick up where we left off and continue this work.

For now, I'll be focusing on my own healing and growth.

Thank you again for being part of this journey. Wishing you all peace, love, and inner strength

Some of the best mental health advice I have been given

🧡Treat yourself like you would care for your best friend
🧡 Your smile can change the energy
🧡 Your brain cant be grateful & anxious at the same time. When anxiety takes hold,
look for gratitude.

That last one is like hitting the reset button on your mind. Give it a go and see how it can help you find some peace in those anxious moments. 🌼

Feel free to share your tips.

"🌟 Prioritizing self-respect is key for healthy relationships and a positive self-image. By valuing and honoring ourselves, we show others how to treat us.
Whether in my role as an Occupational Therapist or Trauma-Sensitive Yoga practitioner, I see the power of self-respect in setting boundaries that honor our well-being. Remember, love yourself enough to set boundaries. 💕

Balance is crucial for stability. Ignoring the signs of imbalance will only lead to a fall. Take a moment to tune into your body and cultivate awareness. In trauma-sensitive yoga, we listen to our bodies and honor their whispers. 💕🙌💕

It's important to be kind to yourself and prioritize self-care.
Recognizing that feeling overwhelmed is a natural response to stress—not a personal failure—is crucial.
It's a gentle reminder from our minds and bodies that we need to slow down and nurture ourselves.💞

What to do when you feel overwhelmed: 5 possible steps

🌼Pause and breathe: Before reacting, take deep breaths. This simple act can calm the mind and provide clarity.

🌼List it out: Write down what's on your mind. Organizing your thoughts on paper can help in prioritizing and tackling them systematically.

🌼Disconnect: Take a break from digital devices. Constant notifications can amplify feelings of overwhelm.

🌼Engage in physical activity: Movement, whether a quick walk or a full workout, can release pent-up tension and stress.

🌼Seek a change of scenery: Sometimes, just changing your surroundings, even if it's moving to a different room, can provide a fresh perspective.

Just a little reminder to take care of yourself and pay attention to those early signs that can sneak up on you.

I came across this quote on .therapy and it truly resonated with me.

We often find ourselves just pushing through without taking the time to pause, reflect on how we're truly feeling, and listen to what our mind and body are telling us. ❤️

Let's prioritize our mental health by being more mindful of our thoughts and emotions.

"🌟 If you have the chance to make people happy, just do it. 🌟

Sometimes, people are struggling silently and a small act of kindness can make all the difference. Your words, your smile, your gesture of kindness could be the light in someone's dark day.

Trauma sensitive yoga is one way I try to show kindness and support to those who are silently struggling with their past traumas. This practice creates a safe space for healing and allows individuals to release stored emotions in a gentle and mindful way.

So let's spread kindness and love, because you never know how your act of kindness could make someone's day brighter. 💗
Let's support each other on our healing journeys with compassion and understanding.

I wanted to share something that has been on my mind lately.
Who else finds it easy to feel guilty for putting yourself first and prioritizing your own well-being.
I know I have to constantly remind myself that I am are my biggest priority and it's okay to do what is best for me.

One way that I have found to practice self-care and healing is through trauma sensitive yoga. This type of yoga is designed to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals who have experienced trauma. It can help release stored emotions, reduce anxiety, and promote healing in a gentle and mindful way.

So if you're feeling overwhelmed or struggling with guilt, remember that it's okay to take care of yourself.
You deserve to feel happy and healthy, and trauma sensitive yoga can be a powerful tool in your self-care toolkit. Don't be afraid to put yourself first, you are worth it. 💞
