Whatever you do today, commit to it in your authentic way, own it!!! :). #only1You

Here's an article I wrote for #speakyoursilence on Anxiety's ability to motivate, or manipulate, all depending on how you approach it. I hope you enjoy, and pass it on. #selfcare https://speakyoursilence.org/even-anxiety-can-be-good-in-m/

It's hard to let others see our vulnerability, so if you perceive someone to be struggling with suicidal thoughts, frame it in a universal way, sometimes doing so can invite conversation in ways not otherwise possible, letting them know they're not alone. #seesomethingsaysomething #up2SD #suicideawarenessmonth

There's a lot of negativity around us of late, so I thought I'd share a reminder of how much potential we each have to ignite and encourage love and breed positive energy among us too. Doing something for another person, even if they aren't expecting it, has potential to breed a smile, a warm thought about another person, a warm thought about oneself realizing they are worth the time of someone they don't even know, a positive exchange between two individuals.... energy that... then has potential of transferring to the next person each comes in contact with... it's contagious. It's your choice, which direction you go with your energy when interacting with another person. Help or Hurt. Life is precious. Make good choices. Be a good human. Inspire others to do the same. :) #up2us #mindfulness #seesomethingsaysomething

...YOUR God/Higher Power that is, whatever that is for you....Describe your Ideal Self in one word. Go.

Was asked recently for an interview, was happy to do my part in removing the stigma any way I can.... :) Hope you enjoy the article.

Trying to decide if you're ready to reach out to a therapist? A lot of energy can feel wasted going back-and-forth in your mind about wanting therapy but not wanting to over commit yourself to something you don't even know is going to help. You're not alone, everybody goes through that. Meanwhile "the issues" idle within you. Shoot me a message, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!! -->> I strive earnestly to take "the scary" out of talking abou...t feelings that have been preventing you from feeling your truest You, and anything you have been feeling that has kept you from reaching those goals you've carried with you for so long. We can explore together ways you can get out of your own way, as we humans have a knack of inadvertently becoming our own biggest obstacle, whether it is in our not believing in ourself, us being our worst critic, or the negative things we internalize based on things we have been through in Life. It all impacts us and can lead us to feeling STUCK. The harder we try to fix it ourselves, the STUCKer we feel, as if standing in emotional quicksand. We can explore together how to get you UNstuck, if you decide now's the time and that I could be that person to help you. I'm a licensed professional clinical counselor, licensed throughout California, so Telehealth an available option. :)

When we make the choice to walk through a doorway we are choosing to leave behind all things related to the room we are leaving, to walk into the new room. Each room represents a different need. Room A may be Home, where we are leaving home and Room B Work, our transition having to put on the work face, or coming home after a crazy day, debriefing so as not to bring work home to achieve better work/life balance. Regardless of which direction we are traveling we ha...ve a choice when we walk through a doorway, any doorway, of leaving behind all those things that no longer serve us, to prepare us for the room we are about to enter whether that room is our Home, a friend’s home, a public space, our Quiet Minds, our Spirit, our Church, another room in our house, our car, public transportation, wherever that space may be. You can think of the doorway as your tool for tearing off of you all the negativity that is no longer serving you in that moment, all the negative self-beliefs, being washed away like a car wash for your soul. You could even do an internal self-check: Is it helping me to think this way? Could it help me better to leave it here? Every moment is an opportunity to check ourselves for what is helping/not helping serve us in how we are thinking, and to check how our thinking is impacting our functioning - positively or negatively. Now you may ask, What about when I walk back through that door all that negativity is waiting for me again, what do I do with that? Great question. To which I respond: You have the same choice and ability to pick it up and carry it with you, or walk around it and back through the newly created doorway you are making by choosing not to pick it up again. YOU determine the energy you bring into a room by what you choose to carry with you through that doorway. I encourage you to be mindful as you enter through your doorways what you are taking with you and what you are willing to leave behind. The more aware of yourself in the moments, the more in control of your feelings, the more in control of your Life you come to realize you are.
