When you are in decision to make a major change to let go of poor habits, you will wrestle with your mindset. It’s normal. It will be a ping pong of will you sacrifice what it takes to get to your goals. The investment, what to let go of, new habits, new things to embrace, change in general. It can be hard to start. I get it. I never really liked anything that required money, adjustment, sacrifice, time. It’s all about values, what do I really need to become the best version of myself! The “why”and how strong the “why” matters!
⚡️Test your mindset. Test your trust issues. Test how you spend your time. Your money. Test the facts. Test motivations. Test the results you need. Test feelings. Run it through. Where do you want to be a year from now? Then, consider. We justify anything. We justify bad habits or bad spending. Maybe consider justifying good habits and good spending for long term results? Just something to consider.

Love being at the pool and not embarrassed to be in a swimsuit. ☺️ There were times it was horrifying! Pure summer seasons of “glad no one knows me here”. Today, no shame in my two piece game. I’m not at my goal, but being close feels nice like ice water on a humid day. Hydration station! Cooling the sizzle!

Mental Health matters! You matter! It’s Mental Health month! I am a firm believer in being mentally healthy! I have been a counselor for over 21 years! A majority of the time, I have been a mental health counselor! The main issue I have seen with the stigma is ones who felt like they couldn’t reach out for help or would just push down emotions saying everything is fine! Later, those emotions from past wounds, trauma, grief and/or pain would bubble up and blow! How those issues comes out would be in many different ways depending on how long those issues stayed down and how long the wounds were not addressed. Talking about the issues in a counseling session, journaling feelings, seeing a psychiatrist, finding ways to emote from past pain in a healthy way with a supportive person equipped to help you process those issues is important to become healthy mentally. If you have know you need to see a counselor and start dealing with issues, start looking into finding local resources in your area! As a school counselor, I can support those in my school and refer to the local community. Reach out in your area and know there is help! Take the time to address emotional issues like you would physical issues. It matters! You matter!
