Fatigue is not just feeling tired. It is so much m Fatigue is not just feeling tired. It is so much more than that. Here are a few types of fatigue that often go unspoken or unnoticed

🌍 Compassion fatigue comes from absorbing emotions and trauma from the world around you.
⏰ Future fatigue stems from worrying about what may happen while ignoring the present.
🧠 Anxiety fatigue happens when you are constantly on edge and unable to relax or unwind.
💜 Caregiver fatigue is when we put all of our energy into helping other people & we ignore our own needs.
🌧 Depression fatigue occurs when intrusive thoughts cannot be quieted & it’s hard to fight off the blues.

Fatigue comes in many forms; make sure to recognize them all. And be sure to reach out for professional help if you need assistance to feel better. 💚

Maybe you didn’t get what you wanted because you Maybe you didn’t get what you wanted because you deserve more. Sometimes life has its own mysterious way of working out, and it might be steering you towards something even more perfect than what you’d planned. Go with the flow, keep an open heart, and trust that welcome surprises are coming your way.

Jealousy and envy are natural human emotions. But Jealousy and envy are natural human emotions. But they can get in the way of our growth and happiness. When we see someone getting the attention that we crave, we can begin to resent them...no matter much how much we love them. Working to heal the wounds of our inner child (or even simply being aware of them when we notice them) can help to make headway in working to repair our relationship with ourselves as well as with our loved ones.

Stress Happens. Sometimes people want to chat whe Stress Happens.

Sometimes people want to chat when they're stressed, and other times, they just need some practical help. If you're feeling stressed, try to let people know what you need. And if you're the one offering support, take a moment to ask what they really need.

Here are 5 questions to ask that can help loved ones stress less today-
✨ Can I take an errand off your plate so you can relax a bit?
✨ Want to vent about it? Or would you rather I distract you with a fun activity?
✨ How can I best support you? Space, support, or something else?
✨ How can I help? Is there something I can do that you’d rather not deal with today?
✨ Would you like to go for a walk together? Or would rest be more useful for you today?

When did resting become such a dirty word? Take a When did resting become such a dirty word? Take a break before you burn out & have that much more trouble getting back to normal. 

It isn’t “I did nothing”...it’s
1. Today was a rest day.
2. I gave myself a well-deserved break
3. I allowed myself to slow down
4. Today was a self-care day
5. I took time to recharge

Even when you think all is lost, you can still bri Even when you think all is lost, you can still bring love back. Using the sugar-and-spice exercises in my book, “Sassy And Rude”, you can work to rekindle some of that long-lost sweetness between mother and daughter. And if both parties (for whatever reason) are not willing, you can still generate happiness in your own life by trying the exercises for yourself. Don’t give up hope.
