Oh hey fam! How’s everyone doing? Did you have a good holiday? Mine was a little all over the place, but delightful, and I felt super present with my family ☺️❤️ I used to be big on New Years Resolutions, but now I’m thinking more in terms of ~themes~ I want to focus on for the year. Like for 2022, I’m focusing on: 1. Building 2. Expanding 3. Not delaying I have some specific things I want to do that are related to these themes, but I’m also just going to keep them in my mind if I feel unsure or lost throughout the year. We’ll see how it works! What are some of your 2022 goals?

Happy New Year fam ❤️

It hasn’t been a perfect year by any stretch of the imagination, but there has been plenty of fun / joy /amusement / good lighting 🥰 most importantly, grateful for all my people ❤️

You guys are the absolute best. Your messages and comments on my last post were so helpful and considerate and beneficial to others ❤️ I’m lucky to have you. Yes last week was a rough one, all is well now, and it’s eyes up to the future!

So not gonna lie, the last couple weeks have been extremely stressful. There’s nothing detrimental to my health or well-being, but the anxiety is real, the stress is real, the nervous-to-the-point-of-nausea is real. I’m normally really good at staying positive, but even positive people hit their limits sometimes 🙋🏻‍♀️ SO, my point in saying this is to share some of the extra techniques I’m using to stay grounded, in case they may be helpful to you: 1. I visualize the worst case scenario, and think through how I’ll build back from that. It’s a pragmatic way of convincing myself I will be OK. 2. I’m writing and reading a lot. Journaling, creative writing, fond memories…reading House of Gucci…these activities are temporary escapes from things. 3. I’m not drinking much (gasp I know) to make sure I’m sleeping as well as possible. Unfortunately even a little alcohol negatively impacts your sleep. If you’re going through similar stuff, are there other helpful techniques you’re using? HANG IN THERE!! We will get through it and be OK ❤️
