Balance.

TLDR: Quit watering yourself down for others.

"I've spent the majority of my life trying to recalibrate my voice, body, style, sense of humor, so I'm more digestible for the people around me. I've found it to be much easier and faster for me to change than to wait until I found people that could love me just as I was.

So on my way to becoming softer, smaller, quieter, and more pleasant, I also washed away everything that made me me. I realized I wasn't actually loved any more than I was before because nobody knew me. I barely knew me anymore..."

My clients are the best teachers! Today, one shared a powerful tip: sometimes, practicing grounding skills is easier when you have a tangible, visual task to focus on.

Here’s a simple exercise you can try right now:
Take a deep breath, hold it, and as you slowly exhale, scan through this image and find any of the following items listed below. This helps anchor your mind in the present moment.

-Something you’d like to eat
- 13 pumpkins or gourds
- Things you’d find at school
- Something very spooky
- An “All Too Well” reference
- 10 pieces of candy corn
- An inverted little ghost
- Something warm to wear
- 3 yellow pencils
- An item in your favorite color
- Something you rarely see
- 2 black cat silhouettes
- An item you’d use outdoors
- Something that flies
- A loud chirping insect
- An item that’s in your house
- Leaves (count them all!)

Take another slow, intentional breath. Feel grounded? Save this post for a quick mental reset later and check out Positively Present for more of these exercises!

Take a break from scrolling and ground yourself in the present by searching any (or all!) or the following:

- Something you’d like to eat
- 13 pumpkins or gourds
- Things you’d find at school
- Something very spooky
- An “All Too Well” reference
- 10 pieces of candy corn
- An inverted little ghost
- Something warm to wear
- 3 yellow pencils
- An item in your favorite color
- Something you rarely see
- 2 black cat silhouettes
- An item you’d use outdoors
- Something that flies
- A loud chirping insect
- An item that’s in your house
- Leaves (count them all!)

By looking for any of these, you’re using one of your five senses (sight!) to connect with the present moment. You can do this anywhere by looking around you for a specific color or shape — or come back here anytime and choose an another option from the list to guide yourself back to the present!

🍁Happy Autumn 🍂
Like the trees, it's the season of letting go of burdens, unhealthy thoughts, old habits, and unhealthy relationships to make space for personal growth, new opportunities, and a deeper focus on what truly aligns with you.

You are not healing just a cope with your pain,
You are healing to make space for joy, love, and the life you truly deserve. ❤
