TAKE WHAT YOU NEED

What is the one thing you wish you could heal the most?

We are in a constant state of healing where there is always something we can grow though.

My healing is focused on loving my my body as a form of self love. I have always be conscious and aware of my body, even as a teen and as it changes and I change with it I want to show my body more love and gratitude for the things it has gotten me through and endured like child birth.

So take what you need...

Do you need to create a space of more self love?

Do you need to practice self worth and celebrating yourself?

Do you need to set boundaries for your own comfort and stability?

Let me know.

✨I can help with all 3 of these things, so if you called to: book a call with me in my bio and I’d love to just chat with you! @ Houston, Texas

IT IS TIME TO STOP THINKING ABOUT WHAT CANT AND START THINKING ABOUT WHAT YOU WILL DO!

If you had a magic eraser that could erase all of your problems, doubts, and struggles?

What would you erase?

Okay, good.

Now what if I told you that you can still find success and grow even with those issues?

I’m serious, you can. And you know why?

Because you just acknowledged them.

Once we acknowledge what we deem as wrong or harmful to us we can move forward to release it.

We often times think we can’t do things because xyz, but have you ever thought about what you CAN do with xyz???

✨Comment below and let me know what you are open to receiving in your life. It can be ANYTHING. Love, healing, forgives, abundance, you name it.

I will share what I am open to receive in the comments.

I’d like to help you develop this mindset and step into a new a new journey with me.

SWIPE to the next slide to see why it is for you.

🍯DM me “open” and let’s chat more.

STOP! And be be kind to yourself

Today is my FIRST day of my LAST semester of law school. I have to be honest 3L has been really hard for me as I have taken on roles in other parts of my life that take up a lot of my time including my now 3 year old daughter being at home with me 24/7 while being in law school full time.

In the past few months or so, I have had many anxiety and panic attacks. I have had my fair share of crying sessions and I have definitely wanted to just turn my phone and computer off and runaway. I can imagine that many of you have felt the same at some point.

I say all this to remind you that your life is yours and that your mental health should always be a priority. Say no when you need to say no and never overwork yourself to the point of breaking you down. I am the QUEEN of spreading myself thin and taking on things simple because I have the “capacity” to do it. But is that fair to myself? No.

This is also a reminder to be kind. You never know what is going on other peoples lives and the first nature to be selfish and judgmental is one that should assessed before doing so.

Take care of yourself and understand that there are people who will support you even if it doesn’t feel like it.

How have you been struggling with being nice to yourself?

One of my biggest fears was that my stress would consume me.
⁣
I was scared to be a robot and that’s exactly what I became. I became emotionally disconnected from myself to the point that my life no longer belonged to me, but it belonged to my jobs, school, and pleasing others.
⁣
I had to start to learn how not to let my stress take over my life, so I started to find little things that I could do daily to even help my stress a little bit.
⁣
Here are 3 things that really help me:
⁣
1. Unclench your your jaw
2. Take 5 slow deep breaths
3. Drop your shoulders
⁣
Comment below: Can you relate to this?

MY IDEAL DAY – READY? If I could craft my ideal day, the one where I'm bursting with energy and gratitude for being alive, it would look like this: Meditation, workout, daily planning, client calls, playing with my daughter, and helping make other lives better while also doing activities that get me one closer to where I want to be.
⁣
I share this with you because that's my vision accompanied by a healthy mind, body and soul. I know where I'm going. And sometimes? That's the hardest part; just knowing what you want and where you want to go.

One of the greatest tools of my self healing journey has been JOURNALING!

There is not right or wrong way to go about journaling but there are soooo many benefits to doing it, especially if you struggle with:

1. Remembering details of important events in your life

2. Struggle with expressing yourself

3. Struggle with communicating and need an outlet to practice those skills

4. Not knowing how to talk through bad situations/ dark days

5. Find yourself scatter brained

Comment below:Have you guys tried journaling for healing???

FRIENDS? How many of us have them??
⁣
Living with anxiety and maintaining friendships can be a constant struggle because we think things like:
⁣
1. Why if I’m annoying them?
⁣
2. Should I give them space?
⁣
3. Should I not say this to them?
⁣
4. Are they really my friend?
⁣
5. Idk if I can trust them.
⁣
THESE ARE ALL EXAMPLES OF ANXIETY IN FRIENDSHIPS
⁣
Especially in my darker days, I really struggled with always trying g to please my friends, going above and beyond to make them feel special and important out of fear that I would lose them or that they would stop liking me.
⁣
It wasn’t until a couple years ago that I realized I AM NOT FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYONE IS NOT FOR ME AND THATS OKAY.
⁣
You don’t have to stop being a caring person because someone wasn’t nice to you.
⁣
You don’t have to beat yourself up because someone doesn’t want you in their life. It’s either their loss or not meant to be but either way it doesn’t define you.
⁣
✨SWIPE and sage the next tile for a daily reminder!

8 FREE Self Care tips
⁣
It is self care Sunday, so I wanted to share some top ways to practice self care without spending money.
⁣
Yes, self care can be free and it can be something you pay for like a spa visit or even buying a house.
⁣
The truth is...there is no one way to practice self care...there is a reason why it is “SELF” care right??? BUT you need to give yourself that care regardless of the method.
⁣
Here are some tips to get you started:
⁣
1. Take a nap
Adults need naps too, I don’t care what anyone says!
⁣
2. Do a social media purge
This can be taking a break from social media or simply unfollowing people you don’t want to follow anymore.
⁣
3. Take a long shower or bath
This can be a very relaxing way to start your morning or end your night. I like to had candles or essential oils to the mix to also get some aromatherapy going.
⁣
4. Make/eat a good meal.
This simply means eat food why you want. Whether you make it yourself or order it from door dash, good food is good food!
⁣
5. Clean your space
When our spaces are cluttered we can feel unorganized and cluttered as well. I cleaned my room yesterday and baby, I feel so light!
⁣
6. Journal/ write in your planner
Getting your thoughts down, writing affirmations, and just planning your week can make all the difference. It gives you a physical space for these thoughts, goals and intentions to love other than your mind, body and soul.
⁣
7. Meditate/ prayer
Speaking with your God, guides and ancestors is extremely beneficial and can really help lift your spirits.
⁣
8. DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
If you feel like laying down and chillin do that!
⁣
REMEMBER THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO DO SELF CARE
⁣
Comment below: What are your fav self care practices?

"I SOLEMNLY SWEAR I AM UP TO NO GOOD" Quick - who can name which famous movie this line is from?
⁣
Now that we're here, my intent is not to draw anyone – but rather, describe to you my perfect client. If I could craft the perfect client, they would be:
⁣
1. “The I got this girl”
She pushes her anxiety and depression to the side because she has to keep going at all times. (THIS WAS ME BTW)
⁣
2. “The it will work if I keep trying girl”
She has tried many traditional methods of healing but is struggling to find something that fits her. (THIS WAS ALSO ME)
⁣
3. “The I just want to be happy girl”
She feels like she at the point of no return and like her life isn’t her own. She craves peace and clarity so she can move on with her life. (THIS ONE TOO)
⁣
Are these sounding like you? I was literally all these girls until I discovered self growth and self healing techniques that WORK!
⁣
THE REMIX FORMULA
⁣
✨Roadblock Realized
✨Emotional Exploration
✨Mindset Manifestation
✨Internal Intimacy
✨X- factor of Self

If I could give all my clients this one mantra to repeat when times get tough, it'd be this: “I DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO PUSH THROUGH”
⁣
I have been guilty of being that woman who pushes through everything and by extension neglects things that are truly important like my mental health and wellness.
⁣
Story time:
⁣
When I was pregnant with Melanie, I was at one my lowest points mentally. I pushed myself to accomplish all the goals I set out to accomplish prior to getting pregnant and while I am proud of myself for all that I did accomplish. That was a time for me to rest and get my moms settled before bringing another life in this world.
⁣
It made things worse...
⁣
I was not in a good mental space to bring another life in the world at that time, but there was no other choice.
⁣
Learn from my mistakes and know your limitations. Above all your mental health is one of the most important gifts you have. Always cherish it over the need to get everything done and push through.
⁣
Comment Below: Have you conditioned yourself to always believe you need to push through?
⁣
P.S. The REMIX formula starts 2021
⁣
This is for you of you are struggling to walk in your power because you are also dealing with anxiety and depression.
