Hello everyone,
I realize I haven't written a new blog post in 7 months! Much has happened for me within that time and I stepped away from my web site and YouTube for a while. In September, I found out I am expecting my second child (A little boy due in May!), in October, I started working as a therapist for The Charlotte Hornets, and then the holidays happened and Scarlett's 2nd birthday, which I hosted a get-together for each event. It was all a bit crazy!! The topic of self-care, in its many versions, seems to be the trending topic for me, my clients, my students, my family/friends, and my colleagues lately. During my semi-hiatus from social media (I still shared some on Instagram and Facebook.), I started seeing a therapist simply for my own mental well-being. I give out A LOT as a Bodyworker, Yoga Teacher, daughter, friend, Mama, and partner. When my cup runs empty, I can't continue to be all those things and give to my fullest potential. Luckily, I do have an amazing partner, but that's not always enough and so I sought out help from the outside and I am grateful to have my therapist. I also have been getting bodywork much more regularly, saying "no", and setting healthy boundaries when necessary. These are certainly simple things you can do to keep your cup from running out! Myself and a couple of my clients have also been going through the process of having some "tough talks" with certain people in our lives in order to honor our truth and maintain an energetic balance. Those chats are never fun, but completely necessary! I always do my best to use them as a learning tool and a growth opportunity for me and that other person (Or people.)... To view it that way can make this difficult process a little easier! Even though Valentine's Day has come and gone, how can you continue to move from a Loving place and energy? Can you do this for yourself and also for those around you? If you need any ideas, please fell free to reach out to me- I am happy to help any time!! I hope you enjoy the rest of your LOVE month and I promise to me back sooner this time around ❤ Much Love and Light, Christina |
