“I manifest with grace and ease.”🧘🏾‍♀️🌻✨✨✨

As a recovering burnout queen, I haven’t been manifesting with grace or ease at all. I’ve been grinding, hustling, and overriding my nervous system in the name of making it happen. That’s exactly how I burn out/crash out. Today this card is an invitation to let ease be a strategy, not a reward I earn after I’ve exhausted myself. How are you manifesting ease and grace?

Through every transition of my life, moving my body has helped keep me sane. After three years in survival mode, I’m grateful for this purple‑lit basement and my Peloton, helping me dance my way back into alignment. I hope you find your own rituals that help you feel more like you, too.

There's nothing more depressing than having everything
And still feeling sad
You must learn to water your spiritual garden
Sad/ The Velvet Rope (Album) - By Janet Jackson

Thank you for checking in and reaching out, I genuinely appreciate it. Life has been Life-ing and burn-out is real! I have been utilizing every tool in my mental health toolbox to include stillness.

I am currently exploring the hypothesis that my struggles with mental health and SI (unalive ideation) no matter how successful I am are related to hustle and grind culture. The impossible and toxic standards of coupling/parenthood/caregiving; perfectionism and any other ideals and systems that cause mental health trauma.

For the next 28 days, I will be sharing a photo that is inspired by my tools I have acquired. If it feels good to you I encourage you to share a photo from your toolbox.

Photo prompt: What have you learned that is helping you water your mental, physical and spiritual garden?

Therapeutic farming/gardening helps me water ALL my gardens. 🌦️👩🏾‍🌾✨🌱

Thank you Ms. Jackson ❤️‍🩹🫶🏾✨ Be well, Dear Hearts ✨✨✨

💔 The world feels heavy and it can be hard to find joy.

⭐️ I encourage you to embrace 3 things that you can appreciate.

🥗Today I enjoyed visiting my favorite tree, making a meal and eating veggies from my backyard farm and CSA (community supported agriculture) share.

🤩 Enjoy your harvest and successes.

🦋 Rebirth…

😵‍💫 I’ve been overwhelmed by the long list of recent tragedies. In addition to navigating grief, depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts inspite of all the sucess I have personally and professionally. Followed by with the intense shame of seeming ungrateful for what I have, because of my feelings.

🙌🏾 The last couple of years have been a lesson in forgiving myself, releasing ideas, belief systems and behaviors that no longer serve me.

⭐️ I encourage us all to figure out what actions we are going to implement, so we are the change we want to see in the world.

🕊 I release the idea that I am broken, instead I embrace that fact that I am seeking a peace that surpasses all understanding.

🧘🏾‍♀️ Take 3 deep breaths and be well Dear Hearts
