Sometimes it's hard to be happy when good things are happening & there's a glass of grief on the side. A small portion of anxiety, which too much of the calorie intake produces fear. There might be a little left over depression sitting on the kitchen counter waiting to be served as a dessert.
For the low carb/healthy folk being mindful of their intake, we have a lil piece of happiness, a tea cup full of joy. Some of that peace & happiness freshly simmering as it's being placed on the table. The aroma of sweet honey lingers as it signifies love, a pinch of honesty, a few dashes of loyalty & 3 tablespoons full of respect. Those ingredients mixed together are like chef's kiss. That's the sweet lil medley we've all been waiting to get our hands on. 😏✌🏾
Now you are faced with a feast of food. And there is plenty more of where all of that came from.
Nobody touched Auntie's potato salad b/c it was sweet & bitter at the same time. We asked her what she put in it. Come to find out, it was her favorite seasoning called Toxicity.
See, you have a choice when it comes to your intake. What you feed, think, expose yourself to. It all matters. Just b/c it's placed in front of you, doesn't mean you need to eat it. And if you spill your plate accidentally on purpose, nobody would blame you. 😉✨ Just make sure you clean up your mess & go back & get yourself the plate that you desire.
Two truths can exist at the same time. You can be happy for yourself & grieving for your loved ones. You can still honor your own heart & fill up on love, while auntie over there forcefeeding that damn potato salad. 🥴🥴✌🏾
Give yourself permission to think good thoughts & remain positive while the rest of the world is figuring it out. Give yourself permission to rest, to love, to smile & to close your eyes as you stand still, placing your hand on your heart & gracefully say to yourself: "I am okay today. I am safe in my body. I am proud of me for showing up as the best version of myself in this moment. My nervous system is calm & I love that for me." Take a few deep breaths. Close your hands in prayer form. And remind yourself that YOU GOT THIS‼️ "Nothing is wrong. Everything is happening how it's supposed to. I can't fix anything out of my control & I am doing my best everyday to be okay with that."
"In this moment, I am choosing to honor me, show up for me & hold space for as long as I need to... until I feel aligned. Until I feel chosen... by myself. All is well. A way is already made. Asé."
It's time to go be great, you Beautiful Human. You got this. So do I. I love you. So mote it be. #NAMASTE
Let's talk about it. What was on your menu over the weekend? Did anyone try to force feed you? Did you indulge in rest? Or maybe some peace of mind? #TAPIN
