DON’T BE ASHAMED OF WHAT YOU FEEL
Shame makes us feel like we are inherently flawed, bad, or broken. When we’re in shame we feel depressed, hopeless, and alone. Shame makes it difficult for us connect with others because we fear that our flaws will be exposed. The antidote to shame is empathy. According to researcher Brené Brown, we develop shame resilience by recognizing our shame triggers,
developing critical awareness about our web of shame, reaching out to others, and speaking about shame. 💕

DAILY INTENTIONS
Low motivation to get started on those New Year’s goals? Many factors play a role in demotivation, including fear, fatigue, and fuzzy goals. Cultivating new habits is a slow, gradual process. Build confidence by starting with small daily goals and ease into those more challenging long-term goals. Remember that slow and steady wins the race! 🐢

SITTING WITH DISCOMFORT
While it’s tempting to avoid discomfort, resistance actually prolongs and intensifies suffering. Give yourself permission to sit with the uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Acknowledge the emotions that arise. Observe the discomfort peak in your body and then pass as you process the experience. 🧘‍♀️

HAPPINESS is, in large part, a choice. While it is influenced by genetics, biology, and environment HAPPINESS is significantly transformed by our thoughts, perceptions, and mindset.
