One way we tend to “fight” mindfulness is by keeping our minds busy. When we fill up every moment, there is no space to process our thoughts or feelings.
Times that space naturally occurs, but we try to fill it up:
- meal times (just eat)
- driving (no audio needed)
- shower (allow the thoughts)

Changing my bio from “yoga teacher in progress” to “certified yoga teacher” ✨ feels so good!
I’ve spent the past year (plus some), working on positive mindset shifts and consciously taking control of my thought patterns.
Last night a client, who I was helping with their job search, stopped and said to me, “Wow, you have such a positive outlook on this!”.
That moment felt so powerful.

In these beyond challenging times, please remember that you can only fight the good fight if you take care of your mental health & nervous system first (the best you can).
Some quick thoughts:
- Let go of the need to “look like” you are doing activism (if it’s private it still counts)

“There is no right or wrong, there is only cause and effect”
If we applied this saying to ourselves and the people around us, how much less judgmental of “mistakes” would we be? How much more open to different viewpoints would we become? How much much more likely would we be to forgive or let go?

I went to a Hatha Yoga class yesterday. I loved it.
From this one class, I would describe Hatha Yoga as a practice of self-love.
I have taken restorative yoga classes, which I also love, and would describe these as self-care.
Do you agree or have you had different experiences?

Made a list of things I can do for myself. Now I have primed my mind to look for those things and I am finding more things I can do for myself. Activities that bring me joy, simple pleasures that bring relaxation or relief, and small tasks or reminders of who I am.
My list just keeps growing now.

Sometimes it’s okay to lower to the goal, to take the expectation down a notch, to make the step more attainable so that you can continue moving, continue taking steps, continue growing.
This is your permission if you need it.

The more I respect my needs and boundaries, the more the people around me do as well.
And if they don’t, I find that they are no longer the people around me.

Reminding myself (gently) not to make big decisions when I am emotionally imbalanced.

“I could never pull that off” is an excuse.
It’s an excuse to try to keep yourself safe and comfortable. But really you’re creating more discomfort by creating a gap between who you want to be (who you really are) and who are allowing yourself to be.

Gamifying simple things has significantly improved my mental health and thus my life.
I LOVE the Finch app. This is not an ad. Just a PSA, especially for my neurodivergent friends. If you’ve been thinking about trying it. I highly recommend it!

Having plants in my home makes me really happy. I LOVE to look at them. I LOVE to think of the freshness they bring my home and air. But I have a lot of plants and I have created quite the workload for myself 😳

One of the best quotes I’ve ever heard on a podcast:
“Changing your entire life doesn't work, because first of all, your entire life is not messed up. There are parts of your life that you love, even if at certain moments you're not aware of that. I always remind myself of that when (1/3)

Today I did two things I am really proud of: I openly communicated about a sensitive topic that was uncomfortable to discuss and I made big progress on a course I’ve been working on for quite some time.
And now I did a third thing that I’m proud of: publicly sharing my proud moments of the day.

When I repeat an affirmation, I place an emphasis on a different word each time I say the phrase and see how it sits differently with me.
- Does it spark a new emotion?
- Do I feel it somewhere else in my body?
- Is a new memory or thought provoked?

✨My energy comes back to me✨
Another way I apply this mantra is in my work:
- If I half-ass a task, I will more likely get half-assed results or responses.
- If I send an email with kindness, I can more likely expect kindness in return.
- If I give productive energy, I am likely to get shit done.

One of the opposite practices of toxic positivity is learning to become more at peace with yourself and the world around you by building distress tolerance skills. By being able to sit with discomfort, as being uncomfortable, not gaslighting yourself into thinking it’s something better, and just be.

I like radical acceptance because there comes a point when there is nothing left to do in my power except to accept the outcome. How I feel and think about the situation, how I let it affect my attitude and emotions, are the only things left in my control. And that, in itself, is a great power.

All emotions give us insight into our thoughts. Exploring the question, “Why do I feel ___ right now?” can lead us to learn so much about ourselves.

Just saw a quote that said “My energy is precious”.
This has been a huge theme for me this year.
- Learning to budget my energy
- Go with the flow of my energy each day
- Give the energy I want to get back
- Respect my own energy
- Recharge my energy
I’m still learning.

While doing the laundry today, the thought crossed my mind, “I hate this.” Instead of letting myself sink into that and grumble throughout the task, I kindly reminded myself:
- I would be done soon
- I love having clean clothes
- it sucks to do laundry nearly every day
- oh, wow I finished. Yay me!
- I would be done soon
- I love having clean clothes
- it sucks to do laundry nearly every day
- oh, wow I finished. Yay me!

To be authentically “positive”, you must learn how to feel your “negative” emotions and what to do with them.
Toxic positivity ignores negativity. Authentic positivity embraces all emotions.

✨ My energy comes back to me ✨
One way I apply this mantra is in thinking about the energy I put into a relationship (romantic, platonic, prof, etc.). I should put in at least as much energy as I want back from the other person. This also helps me gauge if I’m putting in too much effort.
