Forgive, honour, and take the lessons from your past, accept and honour where you are in the here and now, and choose to honour where you want to go. . . . .... . . . . . . #honourpastpresentfuture #releaseshame #wellnesscoaching #wellbeingcoach #wellnessplanner #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #counselling #counseling #counsellingpsychology #counselingpsychology #psychology #positivepsychology #tracythoughts See more

...let’s all be a little extra gentle with ourselves at the end of this year. As we complete our own year in review let’s all take a minute to breathe in a little extra compassion into ourselves and exhale a little extra love onto others. This has been a very tough year for many; so grieve what you need to grieve, be grateful for what you’re grateful for, feel whatever it is you need to feel, and send love to those who need it most. You will likely see a lot of posts today ...attempting to motivate to finish the year strong - if you feel motivated by this then by all means! However, if you sense resistance ask yourself if it may be due to misalignment for what you need right now, take a step back, reassess, and honour where you are at. We all have different stories and different situations. How you spent this year and where you are now is not up for interpretation, assessment, or judgment from others. So try to be a little easier on yourself rather than attempting to shame yourself into productivity because in the long run this never works. Ask yourself how you would like to spend this last month of 2020, realistic expeditions aligned with your values, honouring where you are on your journey and not based on someone else’s opinion of how it should be done. . . . . . . . . #lastmonthof2020 #compassion #values #realisticexpectations #counselling #counseling #coaching #psychology

Why do I say the new self-love...well for one it caught your attention... and two... things are thankfully starting to shift to a more realistic and attainable perspective. Oh and three... I just really like how it looks. Here’s the thing...Self-love doesn’t mean you have to love and be elated about every single thing about yourself and have some type of quirky Polly-Anna attitude... (wow really getting a sense of how I feel about false positivity ) - rather self-love is ...about increasing self-compassion, embracing your perceived flaws and seeing your value anyway, giving yourself permission to be uncomfortable and set goals for yourself, chase your dreams or simply try something new, it’s about granting yourself pause and seeing the value of taking care of yourself, it’s about asking for help when you need it or simply want it, and it’s about prioritizing your healing and forgiving yourself for choices and decisions of your past, this is self-love my friends. You do not have to wait until you think you ‘deserve’ or have ‘earned’ this right. This is your right now and always. Self-love is the understanding that you are valuable, worthy, and beautiful just as you are, where you are. Growth, learning, and development will continue, as long as you are open to it, and the love you give yourself is available here and now. And yes I know sometimes it is easier said than done, I assure you I can relate. So on days where it is tough, start small, look for little ways you can give yourself some love, compassion, and understanding. Imagine how you would treat your best friend on a tough day... now treat yourself like that. I’m curious... what else do you consider to be self-love?

You will hear me say it time and time again that there is Power in Pause. Moments of reflection, moments of gratitude, moments to connect with your inner wisdom that is begging to come to the surface - all require intentional Pause. Granting yourself the gift to Pause, to observe, to simply be in the moment and acknowledge all that you are and all that is around you is self-care. So, where can you create Pause today?... . . . . . . . . #pause #powerinpause #wholeness #wellbeing #wellness #mentalhealth #mentalwellness #counselling #counseling #coaching #psychology #positivepsychology See more

Setting boundaries can be tough especially if you aren’t used to setting them. We are all apart of a system so when one part of the system shifts the rest of the system has to adjust and sometimes there are growing (adjusting) pains. This does not mean that the boundaries must be taken down but rather that it may take a little time for the system around them to figure out this new way of being. Tip: Align your boundaries with your core values and you will be guided as to wh...at is right for you. . . . . . . . . #boundaries #boundrysetting #values #corevalues #selfcare #selfcompassion #wellness #wellbeing #mentalwellness #mentalhealth #systems #counselling #counseling #coaching #psychology See more
