Your decision to show up for yourself deserves to be celebrated.

Period.

Phrases like:
"I should be able to do more."
"Other people are doing it better or more easily than I am."
"I used to be able to do so much more."..diminish the value of what you just DID for yourself.

Maybe right now making a tea took all of the "spoons" you have.

Maybe right now you are showing up for yourself in the way that you are currently able to.

Maybe things have changed so drastically in your world that who you were before doesn't exist anymore and it is entirely unfair to compare yourself to them.

YOU...showed the f**k UP and made a cup of tea for yourself. So give yourself that damn high five and CELEBRATE!!!

Need more ideas on how to celebrate yourself when you used your energy reserves already to do the task? "The Adaptable Warrior" has a chapter devoted entirely to that.

Did you know I offer counseling services (to Ontario residents) as well as being an author?

I bring my skills as an RN, Psychotherapist to the virtual space with one on one therapy.

One hour sessions at $150/hr and covered by some benefit plans.

I am exceptional at two things. Listening and asking insightful questions.

I am great at offering suggestions and locating further resources.

As an added bonus...I know how to gently but bluntly call out the BS while also being the most ecstatic and proud when you have breakthroughs and epiphanys and succeed.

I am great for those who like someone who shoots straight, can handle colourful language, and doesn't flinch when discussing intense topics.

If you live in Ontario and think that we might be a good fit or, at the very least, a weird fit, feel free to text or call 226-238-7591. I will get back to you during business hours. (Monday to Friday 9 AM - 5 PM)

I look forward to supporting you to function well in your current reality.

Very few people planned to have a traumatic life altering event occur.

They woke up with their hopes, their dreams, their plans, their task list. An ordinary day filled with their regularly scheduled plans.

Until mere seconds changed the course of everything. And suddenly they found themselves floundering in the unknown, attempting to figure out what happens now?

How do I move forward? How have my capabilities shifted? What can I get back? What is gone forever? Who am I now? Who can I count on? Who am I ok with seeing me like this?

And the anger and the grief hit like a tidal wave as they struggled to come to terms with what their current reality now is.

It can be one of the most challenging choices to figure out how to recover from an incident you never would have chosen. And it can feel completely overwhelming and impossible.

But...

You get to choose what steps you take to recover.

Treatment options are merely suggestions that are backed by data that shows a possible improved outcome when utilized. They come with a 100% fail rate when not implemented at all.

You get to figure out which suggestions work for you.

That's another reason that "The Adaptable Warrior" has 100 options for attainable victories. It gives you choices to test and figure out which ones bring you the most benefit. Because you are in control of how you choose to spend your recovery time.

One bite counts.

Yes, your body needs more than one bite of food to get the nutrition and fuel it needs to function optimally.

Yes, stress can impact your desire to eat.

Yes, any food item counts here.

When your body is in fight or flight mode, it is not prioritizing rest and digest because that is not what the hormones flooding the system are telling the body it needs to do. So, not feeling the "normal" sensations of hunger or hearing your stomach growl is quite common as the priority is being given to muscle movement to get you the f**k out of the situation.

You may even be feeling quite nauseous as a result of the overwhelm, and also as a result of the desperate need for more fuel in the form of food and fluid intake. It can be super hard to convince yourself to put food or fluids into your system when you're not feeling like it can handle it.

But...that one bite has the potential to be the catalyst your body needs to begin to feel a little better and become more agreeable to you giving it the nutrition it requires.

So...did you eat today?

For more tips on the benefits of attainable victories for even the darkest days, I suggest you check out "The Adaptable Warrior" found on the Sparkle Kingdom Warriors website. (Also on Amazon and as an ebook on Kindle).

You are valuable. You are loved. You are worth the effort it takes to heal and the strength it takes to keep choosing to live. You have purpose.

Think of a baby. It doesn't get back to basics more than those squishy little bundles.

What do they need to survive?
🦋 Nutrition
🦋 Temperature regulation
🦋 Extensive deep rest
🦋 Hygiene
🦋 Connection
🦋 Safety
*Add to this list if you think I've missed something.

When a baby has those six aspects covered, they generally naturally begin to grow, gain skills, and grasp new concepts.

As adults, we still generally need the same six basic needs met in order to thrive. To often we tend to improve at temperature regulation and regress on all the other things as we grow up and gain responsibilities and life stressors.

When we bring it back to the basics with consistency, we will likely discover that everything else begins to come a little more easily purely as a byproduct of us being in a more stable, comfortable state that allows us to grow, gain new skills, and grasp new concepts.

How are you bringing it back to basics today?

My book 😉 "The Adaptable Warrior" has 100 ways to bring you back to basics with 300 potential benefits of doing so. Get it for $29.99 on the Sparkle Kingdom Warriors website and use it as a guide to start meeting your basic needs with more intention again.

You are valuable. You are loved. You are worth the effort it takes to heal and the strength it takes to keep choosing to live. You have purpose.

My Uncle Keith ("The Adaptable Warrior" is dedicated in part to him) used to say, "You may want to sing every day, but not every day will you be able to".

In other words, capacity fluctuates.

For example, I take Ballroom and Latin dance lessons. Some days, the steps click fabulously into the brain cells and other days my body behaves as though it's never even heard of dance before.

On those days when dance has suddenly become gibberish, it can feel incredibly frustrating and as though I'm never going to improve. But I still train. Perhaps at a lower intensity and with a LOT more demonstrations and slower walk throughs, but I still show up in the capacity that I have that day.

How does this apply to the rest of life?

Well, we may want to show up at our highest level of functionality every day, but not every day is that an option. There will likely be days when we seem to have relapsed to the skill level of a toddler throwing a temper tantrum because they got the colour of cup they asked for.

But we show up for ourselves in the capacity for which we are able that day and we function in the ways we can in our current reality. And we break down the larger tasks into their micro steps and take them one at a time...possibly with the support of our "dance partner".

You are valuable. You are loved. You are worth the effort it takes to heal and the strength it takes to keep choosing to live. You have purpose.

Uncommon POV: Rest is for the strong.

Without adequate rest, everything suffers.

Cortisol levels spike.

Emotional regulation becomes a pipe dream.

Processing speed slows causing reaction time to be impaired.

Logic and rational thought become more challenging to achieve.

The rejuvenation of our cells lags.

And yet...current popular opinion is that rest is unproductive and lazy and makes you appear weak.

❌️⛔️🙅‍♂️🚫🙅‍♀️❌️

🦋 Rest...relaxed, total nervous system decompression...is one of the major factors in keeping you strong. So get you some!! 🦋

No matter how much we think we are "fine" or that nothing is impacting us, it is. When we choose to not acknowledge that impact in the moment, our body stores it for later.

And when later comes, cause it will, it won't be just one moment that we will need to process. It's ALL of them.

That backlog is excruciatingly overwhelming. Especially when we weren't taught or never learned how to sit with and process anything.

It's painful, uncomfortable work to sit with it, acknowledge it, recognize the impact it has had on us, and move it through our body in order to release it.

Many of us would rather not do that work. So we find ways to shut down what we don't want to take the courage to face. We might drink or work excessively or get high on various substances or exercise obsessively or shop for things we dont need with money we don't have. All in an attempt to keep from truly facing the things that affected us.

But, the harder we work at keeping them down, the louder they will scream to be heard.

They deserve to be heard. We deserve to be raw and real about the stuff that affected us. We deserve to process in the moment and move forward untethered.

Because as Brenè Brown said, "The body keeps the score, and it always wins."
