We're so quick to beat ourselves up and say that we're failing. We're so quick to say nothing is going right and everything is a mess. But when was the last time you actually took inventory of your life and actually defined what success means to you? How can you say you're failing if you haven't even defined what success looks like? You have nothing to measure. Tune in to hear how this perspective shift really made me reflect in the last couple of weeks.

I know we usually evaluate the year at the end of December or beginning of January, but I had an epiphany recently that forced me to take a look back over the past 12 months and everything that has happened since last November. From dealing with anger and grief, to quitting my job, to building my self-care and resilience habits, getting used to life without Timmy in the house and so much more.

"There's no massage in the world that's going to undo a decade of neglect!"

If you're sick of hearing things like "make sure you're practicing self-care" it's likely because you're thinking about it all wrong. When I talk about self-care, I'm  not talking about the spa days, the bubble baths, the weekend get-aways, etc. I'm talking about the disciplined habits throughout your day and throughout your week that prevent you from getting to that depleted place. Self-care shouldn't be a grand gesture that we treat ourselves to once we feel depleted, it's little acts of self-love and self-discipline that we do consistently to help us from getting to that fully depleted feeling in the first place.

Let's ditch the all or nothing mentality when it comes to prioritizing our self-care. Today we're talking about using the idea of a minimum baseline to make sure you're getting your needs met no matter what! Because yes, it would be great if we could all have a full hour (or more) of self-care practices every day. But the reality is that's not always possible and some days really are just jam packed. So if we can establish a bare minimum effort, that takes 10-15 minutess max, we make sure that we're able to fill our cup no matter what!

I don't know about you but the first time I went to therapy I was SHOCKED to find out I was there to actually work on myself and not the people and things around me that I found stressful. I mean why didn't my therapist see that they were the problem right?

The truth is, maybe there are some problematic people, places or things in your life. But at the end of the day this is YOUR life and the only person you have control over is YOU. Looking in that mirror and learning things about myself was hard as shit. No one wants to take a look at their own problematic behaviors, thought patterns, beliefs, etc. It's so much easier to want other people to change instead.

But here's the thing. When you change yourself and take better control of your thoughts, emotions and behaviors, everything around you seems to fall in place a little better. It can be a slow, sometimes painful process but one that I believe is so incredibly worth it.

When you can better regulate yourself, you can improve the relationships with the people around you...especially your kids. And YOU deserve that. But since I know you aren't motivated to do things for yourself, I'll remind you that your family deserves that too.

Sometimes we hold on to good things because...well because they're good. Why fix what's not broken, right? But sometimes you have a gut feeling that this good thing doesn't quite fit or no longer works. And that feeling is really easy to ignore. I recently let go of some pretty good things to make room for some really GREAT things! I am SO EXCITED for this fall and all the amazing opportunities ahead!

Earlier this summer, my friend Dr. Christine Jehu, taught us about the concept of the window of tolerance. This concept essentially measures our capacity to be able to tolerate the stressors of life. She explains it way better in her interview (see below). Today I'm sharing about my recent realization that my window of tolerance isn't open quite as far as I'd like and what I'm doing about it.
