You cannot say you were listening while not practicing the skill of listening.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you listen to someone, they know.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When your person feels heard - they also feel loved and supported.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You are either practicing listening or you might just be pretending.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Listening is not pretending you are paying attention, it is an offering of love to your partner.
It is rarely done well, but if you do learn and practice this skill, you are able to create deep and full relationships with those you love.
In my VIRTUAL RETREAT I will be sharing exactly how listening can create your happily ever after.

When we understand, get to experience the power of love, we recognize that it changes everything.
When I say "love," I don't mean the other things we mislabel as love.
I mean the real, deep, life-changing, healing, 1 Corinthians 13, make you whole - LOVE!
This IG is dedicated to that, more so, dedicated to helping you, experience love.
Why? Because that is what I am called to do. Really what else is more important?!
The day it finally shined on me, through me, it changed me for the better, forever.
So I gathered together all the lessons and evolutions I went through to get to this place and have been teaching clients since.
Amazing. Just phenomenal to see the changes in heart and mind. The pure joy that comes from unconditional love is the reason we are here.

Everyone else will be happier when they see you happy. 😍
This morning my therapist sent me a worksheet: My Strengths and Qualities.
The last question was things I've done to make others happy. 😖😖😖
I had a visceral response to the idea that I would be ending a worksheet that started with the question "what I like about myself", with "things I've done to make other people happy".🤦🏽♀️
I recognize that for myself, and perhaps maybe for you there is this push for you to seem "happy" and make your little corner bright.
We are told often to smile and to be happy and to be positive even when the reasons are quite clear why we are not happy. It can feel that our happiness is deprioritized.
In this last couple of years I have found great freedom in recognizing my own pain, discontent and past abuse WHILE being in places safe enough for me to not get lost in these negative feelings.
From it I learned what amount of love and care, consideration and self-acceptance that I needed to heal from the trauma and to fill myself up.
I would have never been able to get to a place of emotional health and wellness without experiencing some of those very dark times.
But from them I was able to give myself permission to find my own happiness.
You have permission to be HAPPY!
So I am far more concerned with what makes me happy, balance of course with the responsibility that my happiness does not put in jeopardy somebody else's safety, or emotional wellness.
But as someone who has been gas-lit before, taking care of yourself is the most important thing.
Make time to find out what makes you happy.
Make time to pursue your happiness.
Everyone else will be happier when they see you happy.
If they are not haters or racists that is. 🤷🏾♀️
But another person's happiness is never your responsibility.
How are you prioritizing your happiness?
Tag someone is who needs to prioritize their happiness too.

Even though great news is evident all around us we are trained to focus on the negative. Let's be conscious of where we are putting our focus. I choose to focus on the positives. I acknowledge the negative (use it to learn and course correct) but that is not where I spend the majority of my time.
How do you know what you are focused on?
What do you find yourself sharing most often good news or bad news?

So I doubt Jillian knew what was coming for her. But did she think that all the nominations, performances and hitting Billboard #1 was not a celebration of her music? No she was wanting to tell us what we are allowed to celebrate... 🙄
I am proud that we are better at defending each other these days!
What Jillian did, or actually, how many reacted I believe shows how painful shaming is, nevermind doing it publically.
When we choose to belittle others, we are doing damage to them but also to others who look like, connect with, and see value in them. 😖
Jillian spoke what the majority of people, even those who are overweight, feel, that they are less than and should be humiliated into changing, censored, and open for public disgrace or discussion.
It starts when parents talk about our bodies as children in a negative way (often with the best of intentions). When teachers or peers comment and the whole society believes this is the way motivation works. "If you feel bad enough, you change." 👀
Unfortunately, many have experienced that when you feel bad enough, you get worse. Many have died from this sad and outdated practice.
I've learned that self-criticism makes you a threat to yourself, increases your stress, and hurts you deeply, causing more traumas from which to heal. 😭😭😭 Our society and media messages do enough of that... Love yourself and care deeply for yourself; that is the only way to heal.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 The better we get to accepting that health, happiness, and success come in many shapes and sizes, the better we will all be.

Here is my 10-step 48 hour cold cure:
Boost Your Immune System with natural anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral foods such as onions and garlic. I like taking oil of oregano (but beware it can be intense)
Also, add Vitamin C to diet from lemons, limes, oranges, and kiwis. Make an orange smoothie keeping some of the pitch with honey and ice.
Avoid sugars and dairy because they suppress your immune system.
Get plenty of extra, heavy exercise as long as it can be tolerated or sweat it out in a sauna or hot tub.
Drink plenty of water, enough to keep the urine pale. (It will be more yellow if you are taking supplements). Coconut water is great for replacing electrolytes.
Use hot water and salt gargle for a few minutes four times daily if battling a sore throat.
Keep windows open and make sure you are getting sun and fresh air.
Try taking activated charcoal in lemon and honey tea to help detox. Avoid taking with meals.
Use natural cleaners to clean the surface to prevent sharing your bug.
Always blow your nose, never sniffle or use your fingers or hands or sleeve. Keep soft tissue with you always.
