• pink nail polish is still my favorite 💅 @opi strawberry margarita pink is the best! 💗
• to create space & margin in my life
• to single-task rather than multi-task
• to listen to my body and be gentle with it

#onedaymay May 17:
Something I don’t usually share…
Selfies of me crying and sad at a moment when it feels like it’s all falling apart. Bad news. It’s awful. But, here I am crying - fresh photos of my tears from 2022.
I started taking them back in 2013 when I went to counseling (and started crying often).
I still take them.
I take the picture to remind myself it didn’t stay that way. New day, new mercies. Tears are ok. Being sad is okay. It’s okay to cry.
Crying, prayer, worship, reaching out to a friend, walking the dog, seeing a counselor helps to shift my perspective. It’s going to be okay.
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23‬ ‭NIV‬‬

#onedaymay May 16: my mantra …
Do it afraid.
I’ve always struggled with fear. I’m afraid of much. Even fun stuff. Once in a lifetime stuff… like snorkeling in an #bossunderwateradventure in the Honduras.
The water was up to my chin and I thought it might keep rising… or maybe the rope would get cut and I’d sink to the bottom of the ocean. What if…. What if….
BUT
It was amazing and wonderful and I would do it again (less afraid hopefully).
“Do it afraid” to me means I tell myself - “yep, it’s scary. I get that any fear brings up old fears attached to trauma - but it’s going to be okay. I’m safe. Let’s go!”

I’m behind. Catching up!

#onedaymay Day 15: My body is telling me…
• breathe deeply 🤿
• eat healthy 🥔🥦🥗🍓🥑🍌🥕
• practice self-care 🪞
• enjoy the sunshine ☀️
• relax & read 📚
• dry brush 🧴
• elevate 📈🦵
• float 🧂🌊
& more.
My body started talking and I’m listening. These are just a few of the body-focused activities I’m doing now after ignoring/avoiding my body for years. I’m learning a lot and paying attention. I’m listening.
