This is a really important read for understanding what spirituality is and isn’t. Just like anything when concepts become so absolute, even the most seemingly positive ideals become dogmatic and harmful. This is an excellent example of how concepts that foster growth can be manipulated to become toxic positivity!

Philosophies that depict pain as an illusion rather than a legitimate, lived reality can be downright dangerous. They encourage victim-blaming and spiritual bypassing that harms the survivor more t…

Medication may not be your thing, and that’s totally ok. It does not, however, give you the right to assume it’s wrong for someone else to choose differently. We may have issues in the US with over medicating . That does not mean that every person on medication is wrong for doing so. For some it’s the very tool that allows them to live better lives.

"I can guarantee someone in your circle is benefiting from that 'poison you would never come near.'"

Tim Urban’s talk on procrastination. I know I shared this one a while back, but it’s just too perfect not to repost. Enjoy, fellow procrastinators!

Hello Brain.... it would be fabulous if you could not wait until after this post is up to think of a witty caption.

Dolly knows some things y'all. It's never "too late" to change where you're headed if you're not feeling your trajectory.

A fact of life that has come back to haunt me time and time again. I swear if I knew how to change someone, I'd share the secret with all of you. Then again, what kind of Frankenstein crimes of nature might we all create if we all had such power.... On second thought, maybe its just better this way.

Truth is, you can lead a horse to water. Regardless of how many breathing exercises, journal assignments, or gentle therapeutic confrontations you try, stubborn horses will often choose to stay thirsty. People will always change and progress on their time, when they decide. The longer I spend working as a therapist, the more I realize, while my actions have impact, the direction that impact takes on is not up to me.

Do you have decision fatigue??? This video pretty perfectly sums up why we have so much difficulty maintaining momentum, and can easily burn out without a more deliberate approach to daily tasks.

Try doing the biggest thing earlier on in the day when you have the most mental decision making muscle available 🧠💪🏻
