YOU DON’T HAVE TO CARRY THIS ALONE

This year has started heavy for so many people. Across the world, across lives that look very different on the surface, there’s a shared sense of strain being felt in bodies, hearts, and nervous systems. I’m not separate from that either — it’s had a visceral impact, and I’ve needed to lean on professional support from my peers too.

Asking for help is not weakness. It’s honesty. It’s recognising that strength was never meant to exist in isolation, and that pretending things are “fine” when they’re not only adds to the weight. There is real courage in naming when something is heavy.

You were never designed to hold every burden, have every answer, or endure quietly. Support isn’t a shortcut — it’s part of how healing, resilience, and growth actually happen. You deserve to be held too.

YOUR INNER VOICE IS A COPING TOOL TOO 🗣️USE IT ALONGSIDE HEALTHY HABITS 📣

Every healthy coping skill works even better when it’s paired with the words you say to yourself. “I’ll light a candle.” “I’ll take one breath.” “I’ll drink some water.” Small actions, supported by a kind inner voice, help your nervous system feel safer and more steady — especially on the tough days.

Healthy habits aren’t built through force or perfection. They’re built quietly, gently, and over time. One small choice, repeated with compassion, becomes confidence. This is how tiny moments turn into lasting, supportive habits 🌱

GRIEF CAN CLOUD THE MIND — AND THAT’S NORMAL

Grief, in all its forms, can bring memory lapses, confusion, and difficulty concentrating — especially after su***de loss. If your mind feels foggy, scattered, or slower than it once was, you’re not losing yourself. Your nervous system is carrying something incredibly heavy.

This kind of grief affects the brain as much as the heart. These responses are normal and very human. They are protective, and often last longer than people expect. There is nothing weak or wrong about them; they are signs of love and loss colliding.

Your mind is doing the best it can under extraordinary strain. 💕

With support and gentleness, this fog will ease — even if it doesn’t feel that way yet.
💗💓💗💓💗💓💗💓💓💗💓💗💓💗💓

Today I am conscious that sometimes we need to actually PLAN how we will recharge our batteries 🪫 🔋.

It doesn’t always just happen randomly.

🤷🏻‍♀️Sometimes it involves people. Sometimes not.
🤔Sometimes it can be doing things that need to be organised. Sometimes not.
👉Sometimes it can involve books, devices, driving somewhere. Sometimes it doesn’t.

🤩Today mine will involve staying home and listening to the rain on the tin roof.🌧️

WATCH HOW PEOPLE SHOW UP IN YOUR LIFE 👀

The way someone treats you often reflects how they see you, and it’s not something you need to argue with, fix, or explain away. Sometimes it’s kinder on your nervous system and your soul to quietly end the conversation, step away from the situation, or simply not allow the same level of access again. There doesn’t always need to be a confrontation.

Most of the time, you don’t need a big reaction or the perfect words. You just need to watch and listen. When you give yourself that space, things become clearer, and you can trust what you’re sensing instead of second guessing yourself.

Quiet awareness is powerful. It helps you choose what you accept, what you step back from, and where your energy truly belongs. 📝

AMBITIOUS WITHOUT SELF ABANDONMENT 💁🏻‍♀️

The kind of ambition many of us were taught to admire often asks us to disappear. It rewards exhaustion, glorifies sacrifice, and quietly teaches that rest must be earned through depletion. Over time, that version of ambition stops feeling inspiring and starts feeling heavy.

The right kind of ambition is quieter and more honest. It is grounded in self-trust rather than pressure. It allows you to move forward while still leaving room for rest, joy, connection, and a nervous system that does not have to stay on high alert.

You are allowed to want success that does not cost you your wellbeing. That is not weakness. That is wisdom.

PEOPLE PLEASING IS A SURVIVAL SKILL, NOT A PERSONAL FLAW

People pleasing often begins as a way to stay safe, connected, or accepted. It’s learned early, practised quietly, and reinforced when keeping the peace feels easier than risking rejection.

Unlearning it can feel deeply uncomfortable. Not because you’re doing something wrong, but because you’re choosing yourself instead of abandoning your needs. That shift can stir guilt, anxiety, and a nervous system that isn’t quite sure what to do yet.

Go gently. This is not about becoming hard or uncaring. It’s about learning that your needs matter too, and that real connection never requires you to disappear 💚🩷💛🧡

THE DUAL CITIZENSHIP OF BEING ALIVE 🌍🔥🌱 ….in today’s crazy world

Like many of you, I’m personally struggling to hold it all right now. A world filled with hatred, cruelty and chaos — and at the very same time, moments of beauty, kindness, laughter and deep connection. It can feel confusing, exhausting and emotionally overwhelming.

As Karen Salmansohn so powerfully names it, this is the dual citizenship of being alive at this time:
• devastating headlines AND a sunrise
• grief AND grace
• rage AND reverence
• despair AND hope
• heartbreak AND respect
And….HATRED and KINDNESS 💖COMPASSIONATE ACTS FILLED WITH INNOCENCE, GENEROSITY & DECENCY💓

You’re allowed to feel all of it — especially if you’re an HSP, Empath, or someone with sensory sensitivity who feels the world deeply. Grounding ourselves helps us stay anchored while we let it all in — without judgement, without shutting down, and without losing ourselves. 💛

Hang in there and seek support where and when you can. Use all your tools 💁🏻‍♀️

✨ Inspired by Karen Salmansohn

WHO you spend time with.
WHAT you consume.
WHAT you tolerate.
HOW you speak to yourself.

None of it is neutral.

Energy matters….choosing what you allow into your ‘mind, body & space’ is an act of self-respect.

BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS A DAILY PRACTICE

Believing in yourself isn’t something you tick off once and carry forever.

It’s something you ‘gently practise’ again and again 💁🏻‍♀️ especially on the quiet days when doubt creeps in and nothing feels shiny or rewarding. I get it !!!

Some days it looks like confidence.

Other days it looks like simply not giving up on yourself….And both count. If you’re in an in-between season right now, please know this: the effort you’re making still matters more than you realise.

It is hard 🫣 and yes, it’s absolutely worth it. You’re building a life that works for you, one small act of self-belief at a time. 💗💛
