Self-Care Sunday: Rest 

In honor of Mother’s Day, I chose a self care technique that all mothers across America should be practicing at some point today: REST! Lol. Rest is probably in the top tier of self care tips, because without the proper rest, it’s like continuing to drive without putting gas in a car.  Most times, we work…

Self-Care Sunday Highlight: Meditation

This week, I am going to give you all a quick self-care tip that I have come to love in the recent weeks: meditation. First of all, we all lead busy and demanding lives.  We are being pulled and twisted and turned in so many different directions, that sometimes we leave little to no time…

Self-Care Sunday Highlight: Unplugging

One thing that I haven’t done in a while that I plan on starting to do. Have you ever unplugged?  By unplugging, I mean turning off your laptop and tablet, logging off all social media, putting your phone on Do Not Disturb or silent (even turning it off for that matter), and just secluding yourself…

Self-Care Sunday Highlight: People

Aligning yourself with the right people can be some of the best therapy you can attain. Some may look at people and think “nah. When I’m about self-care it’s just about me”. I feel you, and I agree; most of my self-care is selfish me time and I don’t want to be bothered with the…

Self-Care Sunday Highlight: Laughter 

The age-old quote says “laughter is good for the soul”, and I couldn’t agree more.  Ask yourself, when is the last time you laughed?  When is the last time something made you giggle uncontrollably.  Also, ask yourself how you felt after you had a good, hearty laugh.  Whenever I laugh, it’s like medicine to numb…

Self-Care Sunday Highlight: Music

This week’s highlight for self-care is one of my personal favorites: music. Photo Cred: Google Images Music is one of the most therapeutic things I utilize in my day-to-day life.  I can pretty much listen to any type of music, as long as it gives me good feeling vibes.  I have always loved music and…

Self-Care Sunday Highlight: Journaling

With everything that has transpired between 2016 and now, I have taken a more conscious effort into embracing more self-care techniques; just to make sure my mental, physical and overall well-being is protected at all costs (because if I don’t take care of myself, who will?).  I have been wanting to do this for some…

REPOST: Mental Health Matters 

Just wanted to share this with someone who may be listening. Everyday, something traumatic is happening in the world. Whether it be in our careers, our personal lives, in society; there is always something that is captured in social media, in the news or right in front of you that jarrs your emotions and sends…

Loving Yourself Gets Hard, and That’s Ok.

Today, I was faced with an emotion that I haven’t felt in a long time;  I wasn’t happy with myself.  I was having a pretty bad day and beating myself up about it.  I hadn’t felt this way in a long time; in fact, I had been in surprisingly great spirits lately about a number…

Food for Thought..

Everyone has clouds. Some darker than others; But never be the cause of why someone’s cloud gets darker.
