🌈 Happy Pride Month! 🌈

This month, we celebrate love, diversity, and the beautiful spectrum of identities that make us who we are. Pride is about embracing every part of ourselves, standing tall, and being unapologetically authentic.

To everyone on their journey of self-discovery and acceptance, remember: you are valid, you are loved, and you are enough. Let’s continue to uplift each other and create a world where everyone feels comfortable and proud to be themselves.

Be proud of who you are today and every day. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

How to Make Yourself Do What You Don’t Want To Do

1. Rather than listening to the voice in your head that is screaming “I hate this; I don’t want to do this” think about why it is a GOOD thing to do.

2. Instead of trying to pretend that you don’t feel this way, accept that you are feeling very blah and negative.

3. Don’t think about results and how well you think you’ll do, as this could raise your feelings of anxiety and fear. Just think about “right now” and the first thing you can do.

4. Accept that life is tough, and is full of things that suck – but recognise that doing hard stuff is better in the end. You’ll likely have more choices and freedom, if you do.

5. Just do a little bit for now – then give yourself a proper break – then go back and do some more – and soon you’ll find you’re in the flow.

6. Don’t allow your mind to wander and think of other things. Stay focused for that short time – and then stop, and have fun.

Shit just got real! I don’t think that I’ve ever been as interested or invested in anything as much as pursuing Clincal Psychology. Figuring out why people do what they do and being able to help them through life’s tough times is something that this world needs now more than ever before. Here’s to celebrating positive mental and physical health!!

🌊 Sometimes, the waves of emotions crash harder than expected. Feeling deeply can be a blessing and a burden, all at once. It’s okay to embrace the highs and lows, to let the tears fall, and to cherish the moments of pure joy. Every emotion shapes our journey and makes us who we are. 💙

This Friday I turn another year older and I always try and reflect on things and do a little inventory of where I’ve been, what goals I’ve reached and what I want to accomplish in the next 365 days. Now that I’m considered ‘middle-aged’, the old saying that time goes by in an instant makes more sense these days.

When you’re young, all you see are doors opening and for our older adults, there comes a point where the doors that you used to see opening are starting to close. I’m still in my prime as far as I’m concerned and I have the better years of my life in front of me because I really believe that I’m starting to come into everything that I was meant to be in my forties. I remember on a very old episode of Oprah, when she turned 50, she had a saying her mom always told her. She said that “You’re 50s are everything you are meant to become.”which is why I continue to welcome each passing year with a positive outlook. We don’t get old because our bodies stop working like they used to or because we start to slow down. We become old when we adopt the mentality of someone who has decided they have no challenges left, no problems to solve and has a salty mentality towards the world and it’s people. For all my friends who are fellow 80s babies, we’ve now assumed that role of a wiser adult, who has learned from their mistakes and is ready to pass those lessons onto the next generation. Here’s to us!!

Dating with High Hopes and Non-Negotiables 🌟

In the world of dating, it’s important to keep our hopes high and our standards higher. 💖✨

High hopes fuel our journey, reminding us that love is worth the wait and that the right person will come along at the right time. It’s about believing in the magic of connection and the beauty of shared dreams. 🌠

But let’s not forget the power of non-negotiables. These are the values and qualities we hold dear, the boundaries we set to protect our hearts and ensure we find a partner who truly respects and aligns with our core. They’re not about being picky; they’re about knowing our worth and what we deserve. 💪💫

So, here’s to dating with a heart full of hope and a mind clear on what matters most. Because the right person will not only meet your standards but will surpass them in ways you never imagined. ❤️🌹
