Happiness is simply an emotional state that we adopt in response to a positive experience. It's really simple. The more complex part comes from the meaning we take from that positive experience and emotion. What can our happiness tell us?

Do you ever wonder why we have emotions? Sometimes they can feel so terrible that we wish we didn't have them right?

It's almost the weekend. If you haven't rested yet, try to get some rest this weekend. #selfcare #takeabreak #takeapause #selfcareweek #quote #mentalhealth #wellness

Feelings and emotions are part of our human nature. They are unavoidable and serve many purposes. Unfortunately, however, they are not always an enjoyable experience. You have control over how you feel your emotions. Feelings are like a wave; they come and they go. You can allow them to consume you or you can feel them and let them pass.

Does this hit home for anyone else? Sometimes we can find ourselves putting others before ourselves; creating uncomfortable or inconvenient situations for ourselves for the sake of others. Why? It is okay to want to help others but it should not be to the detriment of ourselves. Surely a middle ground can be found. It is okay to set boundaries , acknowledging that something requires too much of us. It does not mean that you are not a good friend or relative. It does not mean that you are not kind or selfish. You simply understand the value of self-love.

Let's be real, sometimes we treat ourselves unfairly or poorly. We don't give ourselves the kindness that we offer to others. That needs to change. Today, I'm starting a series: Things To Stop Doing. Stop allowing others to determine your value! 🚫 You know who you are. You know your strengths, your weaknesses, your intentions, your spirit. You don't need to live up to anyone else's standards. You don't need their validation, nor does their opinion define you. #thingstostopdoing

Sometimes life can be so fast-paced and busy. If your life is like mine, this week is one of those weeks. Just thinking about the week can be overwhelming and demotivating. This frustration serves little purpose, creating more doubt anything. You are more than capable of getting through it so why worry? Sometimes, planning, preparation and encouraging words is all it takes. It sounds cliché but it is true. Keep this in mind as you approach this week.

Meditation is a great mindfulness habit to adopt.
