This is easier to see on Pinterest or Facebook<\/a>.\u00a0 How does anyone clean their house, swing on a hammock or cook while managing social media? I do not have this system down yet. <\/em><\/p>\n

I WILL LEARN! Anyhow…<\/p>\n

Let me save you a few decades of healing if you are starting out. I know we can’t go back in time, childhood or early adulthood. However, if I could, I wish I would have realized the importance of learning all I could about health, wellness and self-care… the things we didn’t learn when we learned all those coping techniques to deal with abuse, trauma and neglect.<\/p>\n

It’s not that understanding and validating pain isn’t important. It is! It’s not that understanding family cycles, addictions and toxic relating aren’t important.<\/p>\n

However, learning the emotional alphabet and the basics of self-care is much more helpful for present-day survival and “thrival” for both me and my daughter.<\/p>\n

I need to really practice the self care, OFTEN, that I’m teaching my daughter about or she won’t believe my words.<\/p>\n

The sitting still and stopping and being gentle is a challenge.<\/p>\n

However, this work is far less grueling than other kinds and as rewarding. Self-care and self-compassion are not “once and done” ideas but constant and daily requirements like multivitamins.<\/p>\n

And the good news is that it’s interesting and satisfying and learning a new language and way of being stuff.<\/p>\n

That’s my free-therapy share. It only took me decades to learn and I’m still learning!<\/p>\n

Happy Healing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
