You've probably felt this.
I step up and talk about my own mental health because I am human, and it can still be a challenge for me too.
I'm moving a little slower these days.
Yup, working through some tough emotions.
The last couple of weeks has been all about finding a balance. It's time for some changes. And to step up and talk about my mental health because I am human, and it can still be a challenge sometimes for me too.
Gasp! I know, right?
You've probably felt something like this, and if you're like me, you can relate.
Here's what MY latest recovery path looked like:
Work really hard
Let go of something you love
Grieve
Cry
Lay on the grass for a while
Breathe
Try something else
Track little wins
Succeed
Book more therapy, more coaching, find more support
Try something new
Fail
Look at Social Media and feel sorry for myself
Try again
Make playlists on Spotify
"I did it, I did it, microdosing brought me back!!"
Travel to a town famous for poutine
Buy Lotta clogs
Take care of myself because I forgot to do that for awhile
Float in the pool
Make room for more
Dance, cry, laugh, wonder what's next
Listen to the rain in the dark
The only constant and predictable thing that I know works is constantly improving relationships with myself. Being relentless and unapologetic about time/money spent on growth and learning.
When I forget to remember, I pay attention; I need to dial it back and heal.
This is why I'm being relentless about telling you to remember healing is not a cakewalk. You're here; you found me, you know - and I'm super honest about that.
So I'm gonna skip right over the whole "microdosing will make better overnight" spiel. Even though it HAS made me SO much better, I'm also years into my recovery with psychedelics.
Take is slow.
You're way too smart to fall for magic tricks and overnight success.
...and that's only the beginning! There's more where that came from.
Sometimes I need to be reminded that I do have choices about stuff like that. So I figured you might need a reminder too. Keeping it real.
I am so honoured you're here.
Love,
