Juneteenth is a time to acknowledge the intergenerational trauma and mental health impacts of slavery and systemic racism. Education and awareness about the history and ongoing struggles of Black people are crucial for dismantling racism and promoting mental health equity.

Our minds are evolutionarily built to search for what's "wrong" or "bad" in the moment. It takes effort to turn our mind towards what is "right" or what we like in the moment. It is worth the effort. Pause right now and notice ANYTHING you like about this moment, exactly as it is right now.
In this moment, I like the cozy pink blanket on my legs, the adorable dog cuddled up next to me, the ability to share these skills with others. Once I start to name the things I like, they seem to multiply. ❤️

Some days are harder than others. You are still worthy of compassion on the harder days. And, if you can't find it for yourself, turn towards the ones who always have it for you. 💓

Hey, stop scrolling for a second. Yeah, you! Social media can be a fun place to find memes and connect with friends. However, it can also be a place where we compare our insides to other people's outsides. And, as they say, comparison is the thief of joy.
Remember, we only see a split second in a picture. My life, my family, my body will never be exactly the same as someone else's. Not only is that okay, it's beautiful. So take a moment to notice when you're comparing yourself to others. Challenge those thoughts. Notice what you're grateful for in your own life. Log off social media if you need to. Practice kindness, compassion, and love with YOU.
