I have been trying to find the words, but know deeply that there are none that could offer any justice to these horrific and heartbreaking tragedies. ⁣⁣
⁣
I am committed to honoring your lives by advocating for justice and healing in all of its realms and layers and by working everyday to dismantle broken systems. ⁣⁣
⁣
Dear Black Folks: you are seen, you are loved, you are worthy of a much better world than this. I am so incredibly sorry for the unyielding and relentless pain, grief, and exhaustion of pervasive racism. I am holding your hearts in mine. Today may you log off, be held, and honor your sacred needs. ⁣

LIFE HACK: 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴

Practicing gratitude LITERALLY rewires your brain. 🧠 Therefore, something so simple can have profound af implications to our overall wellbeing. 💥

Science: “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴, “𝗢𝗵, 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻” 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿.” via Coach, Carrie D. Clarke

Early this year, thanks to direction of my coaches, I started gratitude journaling every morning. ☀️ All I do is list 5-ish things I’m grateful for while I sip on my coffee and rub my eyes. (My plant babies and coffee often make the cut 🌱☕️.)

Even just a few weeks into it I noticed how it had changed the way I feel and approach my day. The days I have skipped it have had a noticeable shift energetically. 💫 I have come to crave my morning routine just as much as I do my coffee with oat milk (that’s saying a lot!).

✨If you have a practice of gratitude - how has it changed the way you’ve approached your days?

✨If you’d like to cultivate this practice - try it every day this week & DM how it was for you!
