“Empathy is a strange and powerful thing. There is no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It's simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of “You're not alone.” - Brene Brown

When we embrace who we are and love ourselves wholeheartedly, we allow others the freedom to be who they are too.

At Life Balance Counseling, there is no judgment- just love, acceptance, and freedom to be you. 🤍

You don’t owe your younger self a life that you have learned is no longer what you want. Take time to check in with yourself and be intentional about your daily habits and choices. Maybe your current situation is actually giving you an opportunity to reevaluate and think about the life you want to create now that you know what you know?

Trust yourself and know the dots will connect eventually ❤️

Friendly reminder- just because you have “always” been this way or have held these strong beliefs, doesn’t mean that you can’t change. There can be fear in letting go of an identity or belief you have held on to for so long, and at the same time by loosening the grip, you make space to explore and better understand who you are today and the life you want to lead moving forward. You don’t owe your younger self a life that you have learned is no longer what you want.

The values I live my life by are compassion and congruence. My intention is to treat others and myself with loving kindness and to be who I say I am as I embrace my humanity.

What are yours?

Self-compassion does not mean we are off the hook for our actions. Rather, it reminds us that we are imperfect beings impacted by things that are out of our control- childhood experience, genetics, life circumstances, culture and beliefs, etc.

By responding with understanding and compassion to ourselves in the midst of our mistakes and missteps, we create space to see ourselves more clearly and do what’s needed to make things better without consuming ourselves with added shame. Self-compassion responds with understanding, curiosity and acceptance not punishment and judgement.

Healing doesn’t happen with time... it happens with intentionality, compassion, awareness, forgiveness and acceptance.

We live our lives in patterns; therefore, in order to shift and evolve, we need to identify and understand how the pattern typically plays out in our lives and why we might have used it to survive. The more aware we can become, the more intentional we can be in responding and making choices about how we move forward. Just because you have always done it that way, does not mean it is currently serving you or helping you create a life you feel good about. Evolve or repeat.
