🌱 A Week of Micro-Habits That Don’t Feel Like Shoulds
This space is about tiny acts of self-care — the kind that don’t feel like homework. All this week (and probably the rest of January) I’ll be posting daily micro-habits practice for self care. (think: light a candle, step outside for 2 minutes, listen to one song you like) No streaks. No falling behind. No pressure to share. Lurking counts. Emoji replies count. If you are feeling extra, drop a GIF in the comments to let me know how this lands. (ps: You will find out pretty quick here that GIFs are my love language! Drop a GIF response in any post and I promise, I will send one back!) And if nothing else, a quick 👍 lets me know you’re here — no commenting required. Why? Because many of us learned to show up for everyone else first. We learned that love, safety, and belonging came from being useful, dependable, or easy to rely on. That kind of pressure works for a while, when we were children and needed to feel safe — and then over time it quietly wears you down. It keeps our adult self from being able to be authentic in relationship, and leads to people pleasing and fawning as nervous system response. These practices are FOR YOU. They are about showing up for your inner child, as your loving adult self - one small moment at a time. Join in when it feels good. Skip days when it doesn’t. No performance necessary. You belong here💛
