Instead of trying to suppress or ignore self-defeating thoughts as they arise, get curious.

You don't need to "silence" your imposter. Instead, ask what these thoughts might be signposting or what they are trying to protect you from, no matter how misguided the "protection" is.

Are you buying into an old narrative that no longer serves you? Are you stepping out of your comfort zone and feeling insecure about it?

Acknowledge your inner imposter, accept your difficult emotions with compassion, and choose to move forward to what matters in spite of it all.

Grief is the ultimate teacher. It demands the learning of patience, compassion, and gentle acceptance. Our job with grief is, quite simply, to show up to it and to acknowledge that we don't feel okay. And that it's okay not to feel okay.

+ 💜 It can be tough when we feel hurt but ultimately to really move forward we have to also let go. Even if it's a little bit at a time. Remember to have self-compassion.

Sensory integration "issues" might not make sense from the outside, but from the inside they're perfectly logical.

Any stimulus, no matter how pleasant, activates the nervous system. That activation might not be tolerable if other stressors are also causing activation.

Giving ourselves permission to take breaks and rest is important!

+💜Taking a pause is a smart move. Do it before jumping to the next phone call, the next meeting, the next activity. Doing so allows you a moment to regroup and tune into your heart's intelligence so you can bring your best self to that moment. 💯
