Do you remember the days, as a young child, when y Do you remember the days, as a young child, when you could sit in your room for hours all by yourself with your imagination as your play date?

Whether it came in the form of having make-believe friends, visualizing your future, or creating fictional stories about traveling to faraway places with your BFF– you were implementing the power of your imagination.

Sadly, however, many of us grow to suppress our natural inclination to enjoy the playground of daydreaming without restrictions. But you can reclaim your imagination. ✨

Ending a relationship inevitably comes along with Ending a relationship inevitably comes along with tremendous pain for a couple. But sometimes it’s better to cut your losses rather than continue moving forward in a relationship that is most likely doomed to fail anyway.

As a Love Warrior, it takes a lot for me to recommend that someone walk away from a long-term relationship.

While I strongly advocate doing everything possible to try to save a relationship, in some cases it’s better to endure the pain and grief from ending it rather than suffer longer-term unhappiness.

Below are the top five scenarios where it might just be in everyone’s best interest to say “c’est la vie” and move on!

✨ Has there been cheating?
✨ Have big secrets been kept?
✨ Have values shifted?
✨ Has attraction become repulsion?

Remember, every relationship is unique.

If any of these scenarios occur and if you truly love one another, ✨seek relationship counseling✨ to see if you can sort things out. If you do decide to break away, it’s always best to do so lovingly and kindly, even if your partner is angry with you for your decision to leave.

This is a sign. 🪧 Rest. You take care of your This is a sign. 🪧

Rest. You take care of your devices and your loved ones. You owe it to yourself to ALSO take care of yourself.

You wouldn't let this happen to your phone. So why do you let this happen to your brain, your mind, and your body?

If you want to heal like the speed of lightning ra If you want to heal like the speed of lightning rather than wallow in sorrow and self-pity, practice the following 3 tips.

⏰ Keep yourself busy. Spend time with supportive family members and friends. Finish a project you’ve been putting on hold or volunteer for your favorite charity.

🪞 Reflect on what went wrong in the relationship. Don’t shame or blame yourself. Rather do an inventory of your own responsibility for the demise of the relationship. When you take accountability of your own actions you enable yourself to have a better relationship in the future.

🧴 Practice self-soothing. One of the reasons why most of us love being in a relationship involves the pleasure we receive from being cuddled by our lover. But now their arms no longer reach out for you. So you must learn to give yourself the love and comfort you desire and not turn to the past comforts.

Most importantly, remember, there are plenty of good people out there and love will come again! 💕

This Mental Health Awareness Month, take some time This Mental Health Awareness Month, take some time to think about what's going on with ✨you✨. It can seem daunting at first, but once you get a handle on helping yourself (whether that is alone, with loved ones, or with a trusted professional), it will get better quicker than you could ever imagine! 🧠

This month serves as a reminder that taking care of our minds is just as crucial as taking care of our bodies. It helps to break down the stigma that surrounds mental health struggles, promoting understanding and empathy.

By raising awareness, we can create a supportive community where individuals feel safe to seek help and share their experiences. Let us use this time to educate ourselves and others, advocate for better mental health resources and acceptance, and celebrate the progress made in mental health care.

Together, we can foster a culture of acceptance and support, ensuring that no one has to face their mental health challenges alone.

We may not have a say in what happens to us as we We may not have a say in what happens to us as we go about our day, but we always have a choice in how we respond. 

Choose kindness.
Role model kind and serene behaviors.

Small acts of compassion can transform the world around us, creating ripples of positivity that extend far beyond our immediate surroundings. 

In moments of frustration or challenge, take a deep breath and remind yourself of the strength found in empathy. By choosing kindness over anger and vitriol, you contribute to a more harmonious and caring community, where everyone feels valued and respected.

Remember, the impact of your actions can be profound, and being a beacon of kindness is a gift you give not only to others but to yourself as well.
