Let’s Connect on Insta

I’ve been taking all of the Instagram hiatus’

I’ve been taking all of the Instagram hiatus’ over the last few months.
They’ve become an act of self care.
It gives me space to sit with myself,
learn & read,
& create digitally & in the kitchen.
•
I just took a week off of insta,
& spent much of my time buried in a book.
•
I started this beautiful routine of adding in reading after my well-established morning routine of meditation
before I check my phone in the A.M.
•
What’s your morning routine look like?
Comment below & let me know!
•
Also a huge thanks to @springerlorna & @kylieserie for recommending this read.
Im so, so happy I finally bought it.

2021 we’re ready for you. 🙌🏽
•
2020 has served us many great, humbling lessons & experiences.
I think it’ll forever go down as the year that taught us more than ever before,
The year that threw crazy challenges our way,
The year where our health couldn’t be ignored,
The year that our strength & grit was amplified.
•
2021, we’re ready.

Last week, I started to feel strong feelings of comparison/Anxiety from social media.
I don’t usually consciously feel these emotions/sensations at first,
But once they’ve built in my body for enough time,
It’s like I explode & I have to delete the apps to allow my body to go back to homeostasis.
•
Last week,
I felt more productive & creative, less reactive, more happy & free.
•
I went skate skiing for the first time,
Visited a state park with a friend &
we were the only people there,
Had a job interview (& didn’t get the job),
Cried & processed emotions,
Felt hope & excitement for the future,
& had philosophical chats with Brock.
•
I struggled with coming back on to social media- it’s a place where I struggle with boundaries.
But with struggle, comes opportunities for growth.
•
If you’re struggling with social media,
I highly recommend taking breaks.
They’re amazing for the soul.
💜

Hearing the sounds of a river flowing through a ca

Hearing the sounds of a river flowing through a canyon,

Feeling the sun against my skin,

Long walks beneath the trees in the forest with my furry best friend,

Exploring new countries, cities, & parks,

Drinking my bulletproof coffee in the morning,

Cuddling with my loving husband,

The stillness of my morning meditation,

The feelings of gratitude from my yoga practice,

Connect with humans over things that inspire us,

Are just a few things that bring me joy.

What brings you joy?

Boundaries, do you set them? • For a few weeks,

Boundaries, do you set them?
•
For a few weeks, I was discussing our mold experience.
I felt I needed to share & raise awareness,
because it’s much more common
& more dangerous than what society thinks.
If I could help one person avoid toxic mold poisoning, it would be worth sharing.
Living with toxic mold is life changing, in all the worst ways.
•
Then people started reaching out & asking questions.
I mean, I opened the door for questions & conversations.
Everyone had the best intentions-
People were curious,
People began to become aware of the mold that they were living with,
Some sent unsolicited advice.
•
I began to feel myself triggered every time someone brought it up.
•
We’re still very much deep in our mold experience
& for me, it’s been an extremely traumatic experience.
•
Now I gently & lovingly need to close this door until I’ve had an opportunity to heal.
After chatting with my therapist about it,
We came up with a plan for moving forward.
I’d choose 5 people to discuss the mold with.
Everyone else, I’d let them know that right now,
I can’t discuss the topic with them because I’m still working through the trauma.
•
Friends, boundaries are a beautiful tool.
They may not always come naturally to us,
Especially if we’re “helpers”.
•
If you notice yourself becoming triggered by certain topics, people, or situations,
Go ahead & set some boundaries,
& see how they positively effect your life. 💜
