🎃👻 It’s $5 FriYay on this lovely, Fall 🍁Halloween day!

Every bit of support helps. From cab rides, to bus passes (now thats it’s a bit cooler 🥶), to seasonal needs like vicks v***r rub, masks, 🤧hand sanitizer- every dollar helps to offset these costs for the women at ARYA.

We thank you for your support!

Emotional Intelligence tip of the day!

I’m referring here to the ongoing narratives that we tell ourselves about who we are and why life is the way that it is.

If the story you tell yourself about who you are causes you deep pain - it’s not true.
If the story you tell yourself about why something isn’t happening or can’t be done hurts deeply - it’s also very likely not ‘true.’

If the themes in your stories cause you pain, they’re often related to your worth as a human being.
That you’re not enough, that you’re too much, that you’re too broken, that something isn’t meant for you.

That people don’t show up for you because of who you are.
Or that your loneliness is caused by some sort of defect within you.
But none of that is actually true.

Your worth as a human being cannot be questioned.
You’re enough, now and always.
You always deserve love, care, tenderness, and understanding.
You’re human and you’re fallible, but that’s part of what makes you beautiful, relatable, dynamic, and interesting.

Just start to notice - when the stories start to feel really painful, are they tied back to your worth as a person?
If so, take a breath and let it go. It’s not true.

Resume from a place of compassion and knowing that you are lovable and worthy, even if you’re not getting what you need in this moment.

Want help developing greater self compassion and connecting back to the Self that believes in your worth?

The EQ School can also send daily texts to your phone - which is great if you're trying to spend less time on social media, but still want pointed reminders that help you check in with yourself, and to remind you of why you're doing the work.

Just need to acknowledge Jess Marchant for a minute. She co- leads our Relationships Group on Wednesdays for the women, and today she came in with something different to do. This cute little knitting project instead (was it even knitting? What IS this called, Jess?🤣).

Sometimes you need to follow the prompts that say, “Hey, I know this is different, but let’s do this today.” Sometimes that’s exactly what we need. Plans, structure- all of that is needed and has purpose. So does flexibility and change, though. Those change-ups can do a lot at times. Today it helped to get out of the heavier thinking mind and into a flow task (although challenging from what I gathered!). One of the women was so focused she did two, while some gave up on theirs after an hour 🤣.

But that space that just said, hey… let’s just not do heavy stuff today, was perfect. It’s quite a lesson for all of us, isn’t it? To know when to pause, shift, and pivot- and give parts of ourselves a break when we listen, feel, and hear those signals.

Thanks for leading that space today, Jess!
