Meaningful social connections can be transformative. Rather than simply being in the presence of others, it is the experience of feeling truly heard, safe, and seen by those around us, feeling “held in someone else’s mind and heart” that are the impetus for healing.

Trust the reroute. It exists to help us unlearn, reevaluate, learn, refuel, eliminate our autopilots, and move in a new direction. It’s transformative and enables a new purpose.

Give yourself the grace you deserve for dealing with difficult things time and time again while continuing to go on. Take a break. Love yourself. Such revolutionary acts allow you the capacity to nourish and respect your body, mind, and soul.

[Nichole Harris, Psy.D. @DrNicholeHarris]

Even when it seems personal, others’ reactions to you are often about their perspectives, experiences, & wounds. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them.

The trauma of growing up in poverty or just barely having enough to get by is something we really need to start talking more about. The chronic stress of those childhood experiences lives in the body.

You are the only one who has the ability to find value and worth in yourself and in your life. Placing this power in others is detrimental to your sense of self.

allowing situations to be what they are rather what we think they should be, acknowledging that our past mistakes are past mistakes, releasing what drains us, and speaking our truth.
