As we start a new week, here’s a helpful reminder of all the way we can care for ourselves.
🌈
Self-care isn’t always rainbows and sunshine, although that’s great too. It can be about tapping into our emotional experience and allowing ourselves to feel.

Without our regular routines, some of us may start to struggle with excess downtime and not knowing how to spend our days.
⛅️
Keeping a daily journal can be a great resource to reflect on how we spent our day and to check in with our emotional state. Creating this awareness can help to illuminate patterns that support our mood in positive ways!
⛅️
Today’s prompt:
Write a letter to your future self. What advice would you give yourself? What changes do you hope to make internally? What goals would you like accomplish? How do you hope to feel?
⛅️
Stay tuned for more weekly tips!

July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month.
🌱
Each individual has their own unique story that they bring to the table, which is often shaped by their family, community, cultural or religious heritage.
🌱
Culture and community can sometimes be a barrier towards seeking care due to the stigma surrounding mental health. However, mental health struggles do not discriminate. They are ever present in all communities regardless of race, culture, gender, identity, or socioeconomic status.
🌱
Spreading awareness and opening up a dialogue around mental health can often provide the safety for someone to access the care they need.

While there are so many benefits to social media, it can also be a mechanism to keep us isolated from real connection.
✨
Connecting with people is key to our survival as social beings. We need people in order to thrive and lead a fulfilling life.
✨
Healthy dependency is the development of intimate and vulnerable relationships where we can lean on and rely on our chosen support system.
✨
For some, the idea of this might seem scary or even foreign. Learning how to be vulnerable is a process.

✨Self-care Sunday✨

Time for some self-reflection and self-compassion!

Body acceptance can be a challenge, whether recovering from an eating disorder or working to break the chains of dieting culture.
💕
It’s a process! If you hate your body, it is unrealistic to suddenly jump towards loving it. Thinking about body acceptance as a spectrum can help set realistic goals and create some relief.
💕

Be patient. Be kind.

June is National PTSD Awareness Month.
🌱
Similarly to other mental health struggles, there is a lot of stigma surrounding PTSD and consequently a lot of popular myths that prevent people from getting the help they need.
🌱
PTSD does not just impact military personnel, it is not a sign of weakness, nor does it go away over time when untreated.
🌱
PTSD symptoms can include flashbacks, hyper vigilance, avoidance, as well as several other emotional, physical, and relational symptoms.
🌱
If you have experienced a trauma and think you may be struggling with PTSD, support is available to you.

✨Self-Care Sunday✨

This week we took a brief hiatus from our social media presence. Sometimes disconnecting can be an important form of self-care that allows us to regroup and recharge.
✨
There can be a thin line sometimes between disconnecting and isolating. Checking in with yourself about your intention behind disconnecting is important.
✨
Ask yourself, why do I feel the need to disconnect? Is there something I’m avoiding? Am I still responding to others when they reach out or making efforts to connect? Is this something that’s bringing me peace or making me feel more depressed/anxious?

Make peace with your body✌🏼
🌻
Many people struggle with eating disorder behavior, and some may not even realize it because these types of behaviors are so commonplace nowadays
🌻
In our current culture and society, it seems like being preoccupied with food and/or your body is the norm, rather than the exception
🌻
You’re not alone. Breaking free from the struggle with food is possible and includes healing your relationship with yourself

Letting go can be a challenge. Whether that’s letting go of possessions, toxic relationships, or letting go of control.
🍃
Sometimes we hold onto things that deter us from our overall happiness, often driven by fear of the unknown.
🍃
The future can be scary, but sometimes letting go can give us the strength we need to forge ahead and create more powerful and meaningful connections in our lives.
🍃
What are you afraid to let go of today? How can you challenge yourself to take a step towards doing so?

A little mid-week inspiration 💫

There will always be reasons “why not” to try something new, to work towards a goal, to conquer a fear.
💫
However, there’s no time like the present to check in with ourselves, make change, and create the lives that we are craving.

04/08/2019

Today, we are going back to basics and staying grounded!
🌿
Remaining connected to the here and now is a fundamental way to be able to cope with life’s daily stressors or when we’re feeling high levels of distress.
🌿
For the yogis out there, this may mean connecting to your pranayama breath. For others, connecting to our senses-sight, hearing, touch, smell, & taste.
🌿
Grounding skills work differently for different people. Need help figuring out what works best for you? We’re here to help!
