Today’s my birthday. And if I could leave a note for my younger self, it would be this: You don’t have to do it all. You don’t have to be everything. Do less of what doesn’t feel right. Listen to yourself. Your body holds

Raise your hand if you can use this reminder today 🙋🏻‍♀️. Mindset isn’t everything, but it sure is a lot. When we remember to work with our thoughts, our lives can change in ways we didn’t think were possible. What’s a mind
In the long run….What choice will ultimately make my nervous system feel calmer, more regulated? Sometimes, the next best choice DOES elevate our nervous system immediately ( think: facing a fear), BUT the hope is that in the long run you&rsq
This is one of the most compassionate- and freeing- things we can say to ourselves, too. It’s okay to feel what I’m feeling. My feelings make sense, and there is not one that’s not allowed. Can you put out the welcome mat for what
There’s a time and a place for everything… It’s not the time to bring up your feelings in response to your partner’s disclosure of theirs. That’s likely to make them feel unheard. And what happens when we feel unhear

Collect 👏 that 👏 evidence! Working with your thoughts and mindset is important, but we can’t make real change unless our behaviors are involved, too. And the cool thing is, the more evidence we collect doing hard things, the braver we feel.
When we bring it up with INTENTION to repair (not, “I’m holding this over you!”), with SKILL (finding a good time to talk, communicate well), and with COMPASSION, we can learn to finally move through old hurt. This is a key reframe
