We’re not meant to feel happy all the time — and that’s okay. 💛

😊 Happiness is an emotional high, but it’s not sustainable.
🌿 Contentment, on the other hand, is steady, balanced, and real.

When we stop chasing constant happiness, we make space for real satisfaction.

🍽️ “Food noise” isn’t always what you think it is.

Sometimes…
🧠 It’s mental real estate taken up by food — thoughts about eating, planning, or avoiding food.

But often…
🥣 It’s just hunger. Your body reminding you that it needs nourishment.

The tricky part? Learning to tell the difference between:
🍏 Physical hunger — your body’s signal for fuel
💭 Emotional hunger — the desire to eat for comfort, distraction, or soothing

Both deserve compassion, not judgment. The goal isn’t to silence “food noise,” but to understand what it’s trying to tell you. 💛

⚖️ Boundaries protect you — but they also shape your relationships.

It’s important to set the boundaries you need 💬 but also to consider:
✨ How will this boundary impact the other person?
✨ What might it change in your connection or communication?
✨ Can you hold firm and stay kind?

Boundaries and empathy can coexist. You can protect your peace without losing compassion. 💛

⚠️ GLP-1s & Eating Disorders: Proceed with Caution ⚠️

GLP-1 medications are still being studied regarding how they impact eating disorders. While some people with eating disorders report benefits, others report harm.

We’re in the middle of a giant experiment—data is still being collected, and outcomes are not really known.

So let’s talk about it: How do we balance hopefulness with cautiousness? Many of us remember Phen-Fen in the ‘90s, which might serve to remind of the power of being part of a huge experiment in realtime, caution, and INFORMED CONSENT. Before taking these meds, ask questions! Get answers. “I/we don’t know” is an real answer for you to think about... 🧠💉

Understanding narcissism can help you set boundaries and find peace — not justify abuse. 💬
Empathy should never come at the cost of your safety or self-worth.💛

Read my article “Narcissists: Why They Act That Way and What You Can Do” on Psych Today for tips on how to deal with people with narcissistic traits. (Link in bio)

Some people’s actions won’t make sense to you — and that’s okay. 🧠💛

If someone’s behavior confuses or hurts you, remember this: Maybe you’re not meant to understand their behavior(s). Maybe you don’t understand them because you’d never do them, so they simply cannot make sense to you.

Sometimes it’s in your best interest to give yourself the grace to stop overanalyzing, stop personalizing, and start protecting your peace.🤍

👀 Watch before you dive in 💭

Not everyone deserves front-row access to your life. Pay attention to:
➡️Consistency between words & actions 🔑
➡️How they treat people who can’t or don’t benefit them 🤔

Connections grow stronger when you observe first instead of diving in. Trust is strongest when BUILT, not assumed. ✨
