If you’re feeling lonely this season, don’t sit in silence. Reach out to someone you trust—your sister, a friend, or join an online group.

Remember, connection starts with just 1 message. You never know who needs to hear from you!

We need to stay connected to each other.

Community is something that they can't take from us, if we don't let them!

Telling parents that their children’s future will be ruined by missing school—while the school environment remains inaccessible—is an impossible double standard.

Gratitude can shift your mindset. Write down 3 things you’re thankful for today—big or small.

Comment one thing that you're grateful for right now!

#GratitudePractice #PositiveMindset #MentalWellness #BSFreeTherapy #BlackTherapistsSky
Here are some ways how you can practice gratitude: 1. Journaling: Reflect and write down three to five things you are grateful for daily, every few days, or every week. 2. Gratitude jar: Write down things you are grateful for on little slips of paper and fill them in a jar. If you need a quick pick-me-up, take a few notes out of the jar to remind yourself of what is good in your life. 3. Gratitude rock: Find a stone you like, carry it with you, and leave it in sight. Whenever you see it or touch it, pause to think about at least one thing you are grateful for. 4. Gratitude walk: Take a walk with the intention of observing the things you see around you. Take it all in. You can even do this together with a loved one. 5. Gratitude letter: Write a hand-written letter to a person you are particularly grateful to have in your life. Be detailed. Express all their beautiful qualities and how they have improved your life. 6. Gratitude meditation: Unlike a regular meditation, where you notice your breath and keep your mind clear, during a gratitude meditation, you visualize all the things in your life that you are grateful for.

Pause and notice your breath. Try this: Inhale for 4 counts, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat 5 times to feel grounded.

Like, quote, and share if you're taking a mindful moment today!

#MindfulnessMatters #SelfCareDecember #MentalHealthTips #BarrierBreakers #BlackTherapistsSky
Mindfulness Tips 1.Back To Nature Reconnect with nature and restore your spirit. Make it a point to visit a nearby lake or mountain once a month. It's a simple way to boost your mood and find peace. 2.Wake Up With Goals Start your day with purpose. Ask yourself: What’s my goal today? Keep it real, keep it focused, and take a step toward what matters most to you. 4.Listen To a Good Song Remember to fill your days with the rhythm that speaks to you. Embrace the power of your favorite songs and let them accompany you through every moment. 3.Enjoy Every Meals Life’s too short to skip your favorites. Unapologetically treat yourself to your favorite meal at least once a week and savor the joy it brings. www.choosingempowerment.com

I'm supposed to watch as the foundation for my citizenship is destroyed, while I complete a PhD concerning my disability, watch science become censored, propaganda run rampant, access to info and resources on queerness be destroyed, and also just, go to work????

Hi. I’m gonna say something.

EVERYONE
IS
DESERVING
OF
HELP

Doesn’t matter your race, age, ability, disability, family, no family, orientation, sex, religion. If you’re a caregiver or not.

Take the time to really get to know somebody. You never know what someone is going through otherwise.

We just say "Hurt people hurt people"

But as adults, we need to break cycles of trauma

I've said this before, but there are two kinds of people in the world.

- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something, and think it's unfair unless everyone else also suffers
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something and don't want anyone else to experience that.

When someone truly hears you, they’re acknowledging your inner world. That’s a form of being seen beyond the surface.
