@JaLisaRene We don’t care. The more you’re your authentic self the better

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

I think we know when we are burned out but are often to afraid to admit it to ourselves for the fear of feeling like we aren’t pushing ourselves hard enough.

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

@drewramsey1 Cause you crazy lol

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

Learning how to not react to other people’s attitudes and stuff is a true practice....

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there!

On this Mother’s Day remember that motherhood looks different for many of the people in your life. Check on your friends and family who may need your support today!

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

Gotta get new skills and accomplish goals during this time huh?! Here’s my list:

1. Learn how to give FACE in pictures

2. Get these knees strong for Gemini/Graduation season

3. Sleep in & not feel guilty about it

4. Just be without convincing myself I need to be productive

[I’M THAT GIRL ✨ @_Oh_Bee]

Working from home has made this week extremely long. Waking up knowing I don’t have to go to work but still have to work...

What day is it?

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

Remember that it’s okay to be tired and unavailable still!

Just because you’re working from home does not mean that you will magically have more energy or time.

Online meetings, sessions, and classes can be mentally draining.

Take care of yourself ❤️

#IsolationandIntimacy

Think about some things that you love to do for yourself that make you feel good! This is a great time for self care!

Intimacy is more than how we treat our partners but how we treat/take care of ourselves too!

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

#IsolationandIntimacy

Skin Hunger is the need and longing to be touched! We all need it.

The need to satisfy this longing is about to get real as we practice social distancing.

For many of us this was satisfied at church, friend gatherings, & family visits!

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

@_Oh_Bee Off it’s so annoying to me lol

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

#IsolationandIntimacy

If you and your partner are going to be home together more than usual think about fun ways to take advantage of this time together!

....but make sure you both honor each other’s need to be alone!

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

#CoffeeThoughts : Yesterday I noticed my tire was low, there was a small cut right by the rim.

It made me think, how often do we ignore minor things in our relationships until they become big problems?

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

@ZalUIbaorimi I don’t believe it’s gotten worse but my eyes get tired quicker! Invest in some good readers with blue light filters! Helps.

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

Just came in the house after work and started singing @IAMSUMMERWALKER Come Thru to....

My favorite spot on the couch! This nap is about to be nice lol

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

Maybe the reasons why you don’t want to try that new thing in bed isn’t because you’re a prude but because your other intimate needs aren’t being met. If your partner doesn’t validate your feelings of course you don’t want to give them what they want sexually.

[Dr. Amanda N. Nicholson @theamandan_]

The greatest part of learning how to become a more intimate being is how much you learn about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, boundaries, and why all of these things carry the weight they do for you.
