Transitions are not for the weak! You might be leaving something familiar, starting something unknown or somewhere in the middle of old and new. Change is a part of life whether we like it or not. Hold onto your Self in the process. Ground yourself and trust that no matter what, you can make it. You have an entire personal cookbook filled with your and your ancestor’s survival strategies.

My heart is broken. AGAIN. It’s not the first time this level of violence has happened. I’m holding the children, their families, the police officers, the first responders, doctors, nurses and community members in the deepest part of my heart. I’m sharing a community resource I came across💔❤️

Eating disorder recovery is not for the weak. So much privilege comes with being in society’s “ideal” body. There is no denying that. There are also so many horrific consequences from engaging in disordered eating. Your desire around both recovery and body acceptance as well as desire to be thin is completely normal.

When you have an understanding of your automatic responses using a trauma lens, it brings clarity and compassion which allows for change. Observe yourself with kindness and learn more about your go-to responses when activated. Do you tend to go into fight, flight, freeze, or fawn?

There are so many things pulling us away from ourselves and others. When we are stressed and overwhelmed, we disconnect unknowingly. Start with basic grounding and slow your inner pace to reconnect.

Friendly reminder. You are worthy. You are lovable.
You are the only you in this world. Sit down.

Reflect on this either through writing or meditating and lean on this experience if you’re feeling alone, uncertain and needing support. This could be a memory of a pet, a person or spiritual figure. Take yourself to a time you felt truly cared for. How old were you and what do you see? Who was around you and what did they look like? Was there an aroma? What were they doing? What was that like for you?

Treating others with respect, fairness and compassion can often be easier than doing the same for yourself. Ask these three questions before you speak to yourself and others: Is what I’m about to say kind, is it true, and is it necessary?
