Healthy Little Habits

This is my story about my mom's transplant and the events surrounding it. I don't talk about it very often but I'm now speaking about it in the event it could help someone else.

But we're not alone. Even when you feel like it, you're not.

This season is tough.

Join the conversation as we talk about what's happened since the last episode, how or if I stick to habits during this time and how you can create habits that work for you.

Remember: it's important to create habits out of self - love and discovery. What works for you may not work for another.

There is no set procedure right now, no roadmap, no rules on how to get through this pandemic right now.

We have to give ourselves grace throughout this period. We have to. The universe is requiring us to give ourselves and others grace.

Everyone will get through this differently, but collectively we will get through this with grace, understanding and a commitment to one another.

It's really okay to not be okay during this time. It's okay to not be 100%.

There's no road map for this time period or how to feel or how to live each day in a constant and anxious state. There's no step by step guide on how to proceed through this time.

But just know that you are not alone. We are here with you. Because this is a global crisis that will require a global response. A response full of love, acceptance and grace. Find the helpers and look for the little miracles in the everyday :)

Mindset change is hard, scary, powerful and quite the journey.

[Use] these steps to help you in your journey:

1. [Acknowledge & Embrace] your "weakness"

2. [View] Challenges as Competition

3. [Find] a Mentor

4. [Reflect]

Finally, give yourself some damn grace. Creating new habits and mindsets doesn't happen overnight and it's a journey filled with highs and lows.

This episode discusses all things boundaries and how they can be the most difficult version of self care. We create boundaries to show others how we want to be treated.

Action Plan:

1. [Know] our rights in a relationship

2. [Speak] your boundaries into existence.

3. [Bless or Release].

Our most important relationship is the one will be the one we have with ourselves. It's not perfect. It's not always positive. But it's the one we have to live with 24/7.

This episode dives into the internal conversation we have with ourselves, how to honor yourself with boundaries, and how to create changes to repair/create a relationship with yourself.

Ever made a resolution (or two) as part of your New Year's Celebrations? And then find yourself in February (or earlier - no judgement) with said resolutions still on your list and not in your life?

Me too. Been there done that.

This episode discusses resolutions, why they don't stick, and how you can create small habits that have a lasting impact.
