It's been a while!

It’s amazing how quickly time can go by! I just realized my last post was July 3rd, 2018 and here we are wrapping up 2019! I’m sure many of you can relate. Life happens and next thing you know it’s been a year (or 2) and you didn’t achieve or even start any of your goals. The thing to keep in mind is that it’s never too late to do most things. It’s hard to keep this in mind because, as humans, we have a tendency to shame ourselves. You know those thoughts and feelings of “You’ll never actually do it”, “You never follow through”, etc. You’d think these thoughts would motivate us, but the funny thing about shame is that it discourages us. Compassion and understanding is actually more effective to motivate us because it’s encouraging. However, many of us were raised in a culture of shame. If it wasn’t our parents, it may have been our peers or other adults, or even just watching other people shame themselves on TV or in real life. Shame is modeled for us and it hinders many of us from reaching our full potential. I had to do this for myself around trying to get my blog and social media accounts up and running so I can reach more people and help them. Between owning a practice, meeting with over 50 clients, and trying to have a personal life- it makes sense why it’s been almost a year and a half since my last post. My life is calming down more so this is me giving myself some compassion so I can commit more to an online community and try and help more people feel comfortable inside and outside of their shell. Give yourself some compassion today too! I’m going to commit to blogging more frequently. What would you all want to me talk about that would be helpful to you?
