Uranus has just moved into Gemini, and although we won’t start really diving deep into its lessons until next year, this energy will begin to activate our throat chakras.

The throat chakra sits in the center of our neck and glows the color blue. It is the seat of how we communicate, connect, and express. When our throat chakra is out of balance, we may feel afraid to express ourselves or speak up. Conversely, we may over share, have a hard time listening or dominate with our opinions.

The graphic shares some ways you can bring balance to your throat chakra and restore a sense of balance. Give it a try and see!

When we’re feeling inadequate or struggling in some way, it’s easy to spiral into over-identification, isolation, and self-criticism, but self-compassion reverses the spiral.

By bringing mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness to moments of struggle, we can break the cycle of suffering and offer ourselves the support we need.

Self-compassion is a powerful practice that can transform how we relate to ourselves. Here are six simple yet profound ways to bring more kindness and care into your life:
ㅤ
1️⃣ Ask yourself, 'What do I need?': Pause for a moment and check in. Do you need rest, reassurance, movement, or connection? Listening to yourself with curiosity and care is a powerful act of self-compassion.
ㅤ
2️⃣ Treat Yourself Like a Friend: Speak to yourself with the same kindness and understanding you’d offer a dear friend.
ㅤ
3️⃣ Supportive Touch: A gentle hand on your heart or a comforting self-hug can soothe and ground you in moments of distress.
ㅤ
4️⃣ Write a Self-Compassionate Letter: Put pen to paper and offer yourself words of comfort and encouragement, just as you would to someone you love.
ㅤ
5️⃣ Remember You Aren’t Alone: It’s important to acknowledge that we all face challenges—this imperfection is what makes us human.
ㅤ
6️⃣ Use a Warm Inner Tone of Voice: Try to adopt a gentle tone with yourself, especially when things go wrong. Practice patience, love, and understanding toward yourself.

Give yourself a break, it really didn’t start with you! Yes apples do not fall far from their trees, but some apples do roll away from their parent trees. What if the struggles you face today aren’t entirely your own? What if the anxiety, self-doubt, or even physical ailments you wrestle with are echoes of battles fought—and lost—by those who came before you? It Didn’t Start With You by Mark Wolynn is a groundbreaking exploration of how inherited trauma silently shapes our lives. This read encourages you to dig deep into the roots of your family tree to uncover the invisible threads connecting your pain to the past.

Reading this book felt like stepping into a maze of memories, emotions, and patterns—not just my own but those of my ancestors. Wolynn invites readers on a deeply personal journey to confront the generational wounds that many of us unknowingly carry. Here are seven profound lessons that shifted my understanding of self and family, leaving me with a renewed sense of empathy and hope:

1. Trauma Isn’t Always Yours—But You Carry It
One of the book’s most striking revelations is that trauma can be passed down through generations, even when the original source is unknown to you. A grandparent’s loss, a parent’s unspoken grief—these can live on in your subconscious, shaping how you view the world and yourself.

2. Unspoken Pain Finds a Way to Speak
Silence doesn’t erase suffering—it amplifies it. Wolynn reveals how the traumas our families avoid acknowledging often surface in the form of unexplained fears, illnesses, or patterns in future generations. This lesson taught me that healing starts with listening to the silence and asking the hard questions.

3. Your Family Tree Holds the Answers
The book emphasizes the importance of exploring your family’s history to identify recurring themes of loss, trauma, or disconnection. I learned that understanding where I come from isn’t just a journey of curiosity—it’s a pathway to self-discovery.

4. Patterns Are Clues, Not Sentences
Wolynn makes it clear that the patterns we inherit are not life sentences; they’re clues. Whether it’s a tendency toward self-sabotage or a fear of abandonment, recognizing these patterns gives you the power to break them.

5. Healing Begins With Acknowledgment
The act of acknowledging the pain and stories of your ancestors is powerful. This doesn’t mean carrying their burdens but honoring their experiences so you can release the weight of what’s been handed down.

6. Self-Compassion Is Key
Wolynn’s writing is a reminder to be kind to yourself during this process. Recognizing that some of your struggles are inherited doesn’t mean avoiding accountability—it means approaching your healing journey with greater empathy and understanding.

7. You Can Rewrite the Legacy
Perhaps the most hopeful lesson is this: inherited trauma doesn’t have to define you. By identifying and addressing these patterns, you have the power to rewrite your narrative and pass down a legacy of resilience instead of pain.

Anything that is not love
is only a visitor to your body.

You are not anxious,
stress is simply flowing through you.

You are not permanently depressed,
sadness is simply visiting you.

You are not lost,
confusion is simply wandering within you.

And you are not broken,
pain is simply passing through you.

"One day you will realize that happiness is not what your house looks like, but how you love the people within its walls.
Happiness is not finding success by a certain time, but finding something you love so much time itself seems to disappear.
Happiness is not thinking you have earned the world's approval, but waking up each day and feeling so at peace within your own skin, quietly anticipating the day ahead, unconcerned with how you are perceived.
Happiness is not having the best of everything, but the ability to make the best of anything.
Happiness is knowing you did what you could with what you were given. Happiness is not something that comes to us when every problem is solved and all things are perfectly in place, but in the shining silver linings that remind us of the light of day is always there, if we slow down enough to notice."
