Throwback Tuesday, Cousins. 🎵 No explanation needed. Just drop it. What's the song that takes you back to being 12 years old (2003 for me)? The one that hits before you even know what hit you. Mine first: 'Get Low' — Lil Jon" Every cookout. Every summer. That song IS safety to my nervous system. Only because - I had no care in the world and this song hit no matter what - This summer was fun. 🤣 Now you. Go

We’ve been taught to think that WE CAN DO IT ALL ALONE. NOOOOOO….Its ok to ask for help! I had to release being the strong one! It’s control. It’s making us anxious and our nervous systems can’t take it! Acknowledge when you are not ok. It’s ok, not to be ok. Ask for help. Asking for help doesn’t make you weak it makes you human! Affirm: I am (You) worthy of help and assistance when needed. I (You) do not have to carry all the weight. Put it in the comments! Say it to yourself. And BELIEVE IT!

Now I KNOW yall remember this saying! Well here…That’s what we live by cause it was the Golden Rule of our childhood so now let me listen to that advice because THIS adult life they can have back 😂. Affirm: I am in a child’s place and will stay there for the rest of my days. This doesn’t mean BE childish! It’s being child-like (it’s even biblical). Children are creative, curious, inquisitive, bold, energetic, careless, free, and naps are REQUIRED! We lose this once our environments are tainted and life fills us with mess. We start to believe the lies that we form but they are not true. ❤️ What’s one child-like trait or memory you’d like to experience again? Meaning if you could slow down life and be that kid again what would you do?

Say it loud: I am focused on IMPROVING myself not PROVING myself! What are you working to improve in this season?
