Time to grow! 🌱

There’s are so many conversations and ‘wellness’ talk about growth and it’s a wildly important thing in life.

But I don’t hear as often the parts of growth that are hard, uncomfortable and even painful. Think about how uncomfortable it is to be outside your comfort zone, letting go of habits or coping mechanisms that you want to move away from.

We grow the most in adversity and tough situations. We’ll face them anyway so if we can grow through them we will be much better off in life.

Or, you can fight them, hate the stretching and discomfort. Run back to unhealthy and unhelpful coping mechanisms and crawl back into the comfort of old patterns and mindsets.

But are they truly comforting or are they just more familiar?

It’s so hard to see the growth while we’re in the middle of the hard, but e are growing. You’re able to grow and flourish no matter the hard that you’re facing.

I’m doing my best to choose every day to not let one drop of pain, hardship or discomfort be wasted. I want to learn every lesson, grow as much as possible into a more loving, patient, helpful, genuine person through every experience good or hard in life.

As you use these opportunities for growth your capacity will increase, you’ll face the next hard from a better place, with a healthier heart and mind.

We’re never done growing so try to embrace it. It truly is a beautiful process. I’m growing with you 💕

Happy Long Weekend!!

This is your reminder that you don’t have to finish this weekend with a thousand instagram memories or a spotless house - you can just be.

If you find that life has been spinning out a bit faster than you can catch up with feel free to simplify. You won’t miss you, you won’t be left behind. In fact, slowing down often helps you catch up with what’s most important & get back in alignment with who you want to be and where you want to go.

So you are free to not have to justify how you used this weekend. Do what you need most for you & for your family. 💕

5 days into another month. Time to try again. Deep breath, and keep taking those daily little steps, with lots of prayer, towards your goals. The future holds good things, but just take it a day at a time. You got this. 😘

There is so much beauty, peace & love in the world. There is also a ton of garbage, darkness, mistakes, & anger. But we have a choice, especially when we feel overwhelmed or down, to focus on the good. To help ourselves function by not allowing the darkness to hold our attention.
It’s not denial to look at the good. It’s a self-care choice to not let your mind and emotions be constantly flooded with negative thoughts, fears & feelings. I’ve had a two minute conversation with someone who was venting about something in the world that made them angry or scared and later realized I had picked up those feelings and spent the rest of the day angry or worried myself, when that wasn’t even my feelings to begin with.
There will always be more news than we can take in, more people than we can ever help, more things we could worry about that could each crash in on us an make life awful. BUT THEY MAY NEVER HAPPEN. So choose not to waste your energy and health on things that you have no control over.
Especially if you’re feeling low, I find it helps to (at least for a while) limit your negative input. Fill your mind with hope, focus on gratitude and blessings. With joy and humour. With stories of overcoming the darkness.
If we fill ourselves with light and peace we will lighten those around us. We will be full of hope to face times of hardship. We will live from that fullness instead of always feeling empty, stuck at the bottom of that sad dark spiral.
Look for the good friends, it’s there. I promise. 😘 Lets encourage each other in the comments below with something good around you right now 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻😘
