The backwards law can be helpful to keep in mind when we're "desiring" something so intensely that we actually create "resistance". The key to being happy is discovering it naturally, rather than looking for it.

This is my final collection of thoughts on becoming an influencer. It makes sense we're all spoon fed the aesthetic/proactive/positive side of things and that means a lot of reality is lost to "behind the scenes" footage that is never shown. So, let's talk about nuance, today!

The reality is, all the good shit that makes us want to become famous influencers is really good - but all the bad shit is really bad. So, be realistic + find your "why" before you get lost in the sauce of the "social media" trap.

Automatic Negative Thoughts are common reasons we get stuck in negative loops - to get out, we have to address where our thoughts are working against us, rather than for us.

My pup is getting old and DAMN it's been tough to watch her change. I am having to address my ability to let others struggle for their own wellbeing - because I have a tendency to interject and "help" simply because I am uncomfortable watching others struggle. We're all learning, though.

Also, don't be afraid to be the neighbor that checks in - even when it's a painful check. You never know how powerfully important that interaction can be to someone.

"While spiritual bypassing may be less harmful than some other coping mechanisms, it can still lead to negative outcomes that hurt an individual’s ability to grow as a person and fulfill their potential. It can stifle emotional development and even stand in the way of fully realized spirituality."
