"Life is challenging! We can figure it out together." TM

"There never was any heart truly great and generous that was not also tender and compassionate."~Robert Frost

How are you generous, tender, and compassionate toward yourself? It can be a challenge to have an appreciation for our circumstances when our circumstances are difficult. However, the difficulties may be what prepare us for the next big wonderful thing in our lives. The relationships that go away make room for new ones, and the jobs we lose leave room for other opportunities. It is about perspective, resilience, and gratitude.

May you take time to dance in your heart and soul during this holiday season, knowing that you matter and that I am grateful for you. May you find generous compassion for yourself and others. CREATE the YOU that you hope to see in others!

Take Kind Care of YOU!

This conversation with Angela Thomas Jones illuminates the struggles many of us experience in our professional and personal lives. She is a compassionate wealth of information.

Angela wears many hats as a Clinician, a supervisor of soon-to-be clinicians, an Advocate for her profession,  Winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, and an Encourager to all to be aware of our self-care needs. She is unapologetic in her Bulldog tenacity in being a voice or reason in bringing support to clinicians everywhere.

Angela's book Not Too Tired to Care was the recipient of Amazon Best Seller and #1 New Release in Practice Management. 

You do not have to be a first responder or someone working in Human Services to experience Compassion Fatigue or Burnout. Self-Care, Self-Compassion, and assessing our needs are vital to every single one of us.

What Can You Do:
Ask for support:  Tell others if you are struggling with how you feel emotionally or physically about your personal, professional, or personal life.
Engage in Self-Care: Proactive rather than reactive self-care. This will look different for everyone.
Take The: ProQOL assessment and the Self-Compassion Quiz.

"You Lack Nothing" ~That Nurse Missy.

This is My favorite from Rumi below. It encapsulates the message you will hear in today's conversation.

Do not conform to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.
