People underestimate the importance of feeling safe; emotionally safe! We talk about physical safety. But have you ever asked yourself: Do I feel emotionally safe?
The lack of feeling emotionally safe leaves us with the narrative: Don’t talk, Don’t feel, Don’t trust-this is a lonely place. The effort people go to avoid loneliness is the source of depression. Working on emotionally understanding yourself is key to your happiness path.....

This is not an easy thing; It takes practice.
It starts with redirecting your attention to things and people that bring you happiness, support and joy. Stop focusing on what’s missing, who’s not there for you. Internal peace begins with learning who shows up for you when you are going through some s**t. This way you learn who the takers are in your life and who has genuine ❤️ for you

Our only defense against emotional starvation is to emotionally connect. When those who were suppose to protect you, abandon you; it leaves scars. Some scars are so deep they are hidden under armor. This armor was created out of fear and the need to survive.

Love is what drives us to bond. It allows us to deepen our emotional bonds. It offers us a safe space from the uncertainty, pain, sorrow of life.

We have never been in a Pandemic before. We have all lost security (human connections are forced to change, financial, uncertainty regarding employment) and feeling safe (for some to even leave their homes). Our reality’s are completely different. We don’t know how long this pandemic will last. We are worried about loved ones health and our own health. Our world is completely thrown upside down. So if you find yourself not able to concentrate, feeling anxious, wandering around your home and feeling like you accomplish nothing. Know you are not alone. We are all experiencing the same thing at the same time! Everyone is doing their best. You are doing your best! It’s time to practice self love and self care💕. Daily do 1 thing that shows love to yourself that helps you feel good about yourself. It can be reading a book, listening to podcasts (I recommend Brene brown’s new podcast and super soul by Oprah), taking a bath, taking a walk, calling a friend/family member to talk about your struggles, playing games with significant others and/or children, home beauty treatments. Whatever it is, do something daily. Be kind to yourself; talk kindly to yourself.

The chaos and panic that many are experiencing and witnessing can be a trigger for personal trauma. We are all wired with survival responses, which are triggered during times of unpredictably. I encourage people to reach out for mental health services, if they are experiencing an increase anxiety, panic, and PTSD. Many therapists are offering tele health sessions. Mental health is essential.
