When Self-Doubt Emerges It Means You’re Becoming A Pro
The voice is soft. But loud enough for you to listen to it. It tells you, “No one’s going to care about your work.” It says, “You’re not good enough.” Then it says, “You’re never going to make your dreams come true.” Self-doubt destroys a lot of dreams. And sometimes I nickname it “The Punisher” because after destroying your dreams it kills your soul in the process. Slowly.
The struggle isn’t all there is. But, the struggle is all we see. When there are layers of brain fog, opportunities remain hidden, and they cannot reveal themselves to us.  When we only focus on the struggle, albeit pain, fear, anxiety, heartbreak, etc. then we don’t leave any room to notice the tiny openings of possibilities.   It’s through the struggle where we will find opportunities. But, to see them, we must reframe how we view our relationships with the struggle Life Lessons, Single Parenting, Immune Boosting, Public School, Counseling, The Fosters, Growing Up, How To Become, Im Not Perfect

What Kobe Bryant’s Death Taught Me About Redemption & Empathy4
Do you believe in redemption? It’s not easy to feel empathy towards someone who wronged you. It’s not easy to feel compassion towards someone who committed heinous acts towards others. We want to assume, as people, we’re inherently good (which I agree), therefore we lead with this idea that because we’re intrinsically good, we don’t lead with harm.

Clarity requires a level of vulnerability.  It means accepting where you are without judgment. You reflect on your life, your past decisions, and where you are in the present. You raise your hand and say you need help and are open to feedback.  Clarity requires a level of risk and fear. It means you’re open and willing to explore new things. It means you’re stepping outside of your comfort zone to receive more understanding.

Overcoming The Shock Of Becoming An Empty-nester
The children are gone. You’re an empty-nester now. What comes next for you? There’s an empty room, and the house is quiet. The house no longer echoes with your children’s laughter. Or that argument that you got into freshman year of high school. The house no longer celebrates birthdays. There’s no laundry to pick up off the floor. The house no longer echoes with movie nights, board games, and arts and crafts.
Just a friendly reminder how powerful your thoughts are.   Sometimes the things that we do become so habitual that we forget how they’ve manifested into our lives. And how they pretty much run the show.   It’s one thought that’s usually planted by someone else. We feed it. It grows into who we become.

I used to get upset when the things I planned didn’t go as planned. Then I started to realize that the universe sees things that we don’t see. Sometimes we think we know what’s good for us and sometimes we do. So, when you find yourself having a hard time securing that “thing” this is what I want you to do. Take a few deep breaths and say, “The universe got this.” Something bigger than you is working in your favor, so simply allow for that to take place. Source: @jasminestar
Just a little friendly reminder. I needed this myself. My feelings are swinging all over the place.   Especially with all the Black lives that we’re losing. If you’re not okay today it’s okay to not be okay. If you haven’t been okay for a while then please reach out to someone. What are y’all doing to keep yourselves as well as possible?

We’re experiencing a collective grief. We’re grieving a world we were living in just a few weeks ago. We’re grieving for people we don’t know, we’re grieving for those we have lost.  The stories of loss and those fighting for their lives are just on constant repeat. It’s impacting us deeper than we realize.⁣  If you find yourself with this heaviness, and you find yourself bursting into tears, then what you’re most likely experiencing is grief. Allow it to release itself.⁣ ⁣ Feelings, Don T Know, Meant To Be, Finding Yourself, Lost, Let It Be, Photo And Video, Instagram Photos, Instagram Photo
