Comparing yourself to others' highlight reels will only breed dissatisfaction. You can't buy or work your way to lasting contentment. True joy comes from within, from giving rather than getting.
Make space in your grateful heart for all that fills it already.

4/4 #mentalhealth #gratitude

It's time to escape the avalanche! Find firm grounding amidst the landslide of desires. The answer lies in gratitude.

By focusing on the blessings you already have, gratitude brings clarity. Train your eyes to see the abundant gifts in your life now: your health, loved ones, comforts and freedoms.

Next gadget, entertainment, experience - there's always a new hit of dopamine waiting around the corner. Social media feeds our tendency towards comparison, making it seem like you need to keep up with the Joneses. 👀 But this cycle only leads to discontent.

30 Days of Wisdom: Day 5

That endless cascade of desires just keeps coming, doesn't it? No sooner have you checked one thing off your wish list than three more pop up to take its place. It's exhausting trying to claw your way to the top of that mountain of wants! 😩

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?

Wow that’s ridiculous!!!

Navigating the airport. I was very sick for a long time and trying to get a wheelchair in the airport was a whole experience. It also felt so humiliating. I almost missed my flight, as well. I wish there were more options for people who need wheel chairs- especially when going through security.

I am definitely guilty of distracted eating! I can’t eat without putting on a show first! Anyone else have this problem?

My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.

Using one word, how would you describe your week so far?

#mentalhealth #poll #wellness

Foster fascination first, effort will follow. When your work connects with inner truths, you'll fly high chasing dreams again.
Your interest is a compass pointing towards fulfillment. Follow it freely and the journey will be smoother. Your effort will always follow what matters most to you. 4/4

Reignite your interest before driving your effort.
Your energy flows naturally towards the things that move you. If your mind wanders and avoidance creeps in, it's time to reconnect with meaning. Why does this matter to you? How can you create engagement?

3/4

Without interest, tasks drag and drain. Each step weighs heavy, each decision hard. Effort feels forced, progression slow.

So if you're feeling uninspired, don't beat yourself up. Instead, pivot. Find the angle that excites you, get curious again.

30 Days of Wisdom: Day Four

When passion lights a fire, motivation comes easy. Enthusiasm propels you through challenges, focused on the joy of the process versus anticipation of results. You put in effort not because you should, but because you want to.

I hope she is back soon, as well! But, in the meantime, I am so grateful that this can bring at least some peace 💖 Just added a new one for today! Thank you so much for being here 🥰

I am capable of achieving the impossible.
No obstacle can hinder me, no darkness will deter me.
With a bold heart, I continue, with faith, I endure.
The summit awaits my arrival.

3/3 #mentalhealth #mindfulness #strength

I am equipped with inner strength and resilience.
Courage rises within when doubt casts shadows.
I am guided by intuition's glowing light.
Each step leads me upwards, forward.
I am enough. I am ready. I am strong.
Challenges make me wiser, fears make me brave.

2/3 #mentalhealth

30 Days of Wisdom: Day Three

No challenge towers over me that I cannot overcome.
No mountain stands so tall that I cannot climb.
No fear looms so large that I cannot conquer.
The universe is abundant with possibilities.
Each moment is ripe with new beginnings.

1/3

I have FND as well, and I know how it feels to not be taken seriously by medical “professionals.” It’s not right. At all. Your FND is NOT your fault. FND cannot be shamed out of someone- that just makes the symptoms worse. I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through that. You don’t deserve that.

Remember to take your mental health walk in nature today 🐰

Keep perspective close at hand.
Every moment’s a new beginning.
Walk onward with head held high.
For you are worthy. And you are wise.

3/3 #mentalhealth

Let it spark self-reflection, not self-rejection.
Examine past mistakes with compassion, not judgment.
Consider the lessons, then leave regret behind.
Shame keeps you humble, honest, human.
But dwell too long and roots of bitterness grow.
Look back, then look forward.

2/3 #mentalhealth

30 Days of Wisdom: Day Two

Shame rears its heavy head, whispering lies that you are flawed. But shame adds nothing to your life. Release its toxic hold.
Rather than fight this feeling, embrace it with an open heart.
Shame reminds you that you care, as good people do.

1/3 #mentalhealth

Seize this moment. Run towards growth. Act with confidence. The time for change is now. Your dreams await. Claim them.

(Part 3)

With a fierce heart, pursue your purpose. The universe whispers, "Yes."
 
So drown out the "what-ifs" with bold steps.
 
You are worthy of every dream that stirs your soul. Deserving of every desire, every ambitious goal.
 
(Part two)

30 Days of Wisdom: Day One

The winds of change are blowing. The path ahead is unclear. But now is not the time for doubts and hesitations.
 
Now is the time to have courage. To accept the uncertainties. And take action.
 
With open arms, embrace possibility.
