This is literally all I’ve been saying on here as a somatic trauma therapist.
Anyway here’s my FREE ongoing blog & video series showing how to do this below

People really struggle with things just not being meant to be because our culture is so focused on how we are supposed to be able to force any outcome we want through hard work. You can’t hard work your way into what’s not meant for you. Not without causing yourself pain.
People are really starving for kindness, positivity, encouragement and material support right now.
If you have it to give, will you consider doing so generously? You can turn someone’s entire day around. You can change your community.
