Self-Care

Happy Friday 🦋✨☁️ coming to you with a self check in for myself. If you haven’t checked in with yourself please know it’s okay! If anything on my list resonates, take from it what you will ☁️ resources included. I recently read @alikriegs piece on @cosmopolitan about how rest can be perceived as glamorized. I agreed with her words, that even *how* rest should look like can become the goal, or an unrealistic expectation. While I do appreciate an aesthetic image, I also believe that it’s important to step back and recognize that rest is inherently accessible - and that everyone is deserving of checking in with themselves and finding some time to recuperate. My life does not look like an editorial magazine, nor does it have to for me to be or feel fulfilled. Taking time off social media on the weekends helps me reconnect with the non online world, it’s become something I look forward to - because some weekends are just me sprawled out in bed and not feeling the need to check my phone. & to be clear, there are times that the initial self check ins are uncomfortable- that I really don’t want to get vulnerable with myself. I remind myself to take it one day at time. Validate my feelings and a reminder that mental health is not easy - it can be hard for some of us. Some resources i love: @sadgirlsclub @thenapministry @ethelsclub @saddie_baddies @letstalkaboutmentalhealth @idontmind @girlsnightinclub @girlboss (@taylor.loren is doing an AMAZING job) Please note this is also a carousel of joy for those who need it. ❤️ sharing some photos I found through Twitter / my camera roll #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthisimportant #selfcareactivities #selfcarematters #selfcarelover #selfcarereels #selfcareathome #wellbeingsupport #wellbeingcommunity #collectivehealing #latinabloggers (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/COlS7AUgt1Y/?igshid=b4xpaqp6rt24

Today is the 4th of July holiday celebration of independence 🇺🇸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ...although this has been a year of true and utter sadness with the spotlight on the lack of true independence for so many people in our country❣️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ So today some may not feel like celebrating because they just don't feel like it is a celebration but a day of continued mourning... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ So today I challenge YOU to take a pause to look at what blessings are right there in your grasp, in your part of the world...there is hope in those REAL blessings 💫 #beblessed #Godblessamerica #loveyourself #selfcareacts #selfcareactivities #selfcare #weekendchallenge #saturdayvibes #itstheweekend #nicwithlove #lovinglyliving #esthetician #healthcoach #IINHealthCoach (at Atlanta Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCObUGVhFeu/?igshid=v2jj3z28md0
