Life outside of work in October! Just a couple clips here.
Birthdays, Oktoberfest, fun with friends, dressing up, etc. 😁

Yes, the leaves are changing 🍃🍂 now, but change can happen throughout the year.

What helps you feel grounded when change inevitably comes?

What helps you know that you’ll be alright?

It’s a SPOOKY 👻Friday and it’s still Grateful Friday!

Right now, I’m so grateful for spaces that are fun and safe for kids. I participated in a 𝐅𝐔𝐍 Trunk-or-Treat event this past week, but it’s not just about that. It’s about the different spaces I’ve seen created for kids by my supervisees.

The folks I supervise know that if a child doesn’t feel safe or welcome in their office then doing “the work” will be very challenging.

When you see a child fully being themselves then you know you’ve created an environment where they are safe enough to do that. 😁

Recognize, Regulate, and Respond.

I might’ve been all over the place here but the bottom line is 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩, 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞.

*You may not respond from a “happy” place. That’s important to realize here. You just won’t be happy in some situations.

It’s important to set goals AND after we do that we have to come back to the present to see what our small step toward those goals look like.

Btw, your goals don’t have to be physical (losing weight, gaining weight, getting stronger, getting faster, buying a house, buying a car, etc).

Your goals can include the non physical as well (Communicating more clearly and intentionally, navigating emotions in a healthy way, expressing emotions in general, restructuring your mindset, etc).

What will be your one step today?

“Can I really have a grateful heart when I’m going through a struggle?”
It’s Grateful Friday folks! Let’s get into it.

Having a grateful heart is not an easy thing to have. You have to learn and practice seeing things differently or widening your view daily. That means committing to this practice when things are going well for you and when things are challenging for you.

I’m not asking you to ignore the unpleasant things in your life.

I’m asking you to take a moment, settle in, and see more than the unpleasantness around you.

So, I’m grateful for the chance to be grateful even when hard things happened this week.

This could mean a lot of different things.

For me, what comes to mind is accepting that I don’t know it all, have it all, or can do it all.

Sometimes I need something else or someone greater to support me in places where I’m lacking.

Here we are with more reflection on this Grateful Friday.

I’m grateful for the moments I can be alone.

Hear me out!

I love spending time with my loved ones, having fun with friends, talking to people, helping people navigate their life struggles, etc. 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥

AND I love the moments when I can focus on refilling my cup in solitude.
When I do this (have my alone time) I have to pay attention to why I’m doing it.

Is it avoidance?
Am I struggling in another way?

Or am I truly just trying to refresh and recharge?

So this week I’m grateful for my moments of solitude. My moments to recharge so I can give my all to the people I care about. ❤️

I don’t know if meant for this painting to represent 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦 but it does for me.

Different things can dampen hope.
Different things can increase and illuminate hope.

I know 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞 is worth having. Engage with things and people that inspire hope and notice how you feel. 😁🙏🏾

When we attribute failure to ourselves then it stops us from maybe accomplishing other things.

When we leave failure as an EVENT then we’re able to remind ourselves of who we are and move forward.
