Oh hi guys, remember me? 💁🏼♀️
I knowwwww, It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted to the grid… In all honesty I have had a YEAR, one of those ‘when it rains it pours’ types, & between my busy clinical practice and supporting myself through a challenging year, I’ve had my hands full & had to wipe the decks of ‘extras’ in order to best support myself - with social media being the first to go. Honestly, I doubt anyone really noticed, but just thought I’d address the elephant in the room🐘
Anyhoo, ya girl is back! And I just wanted to take a minute to write a post of gratitude (consider it a delayed thanksgiving post!).
Firstly, I am really grateful to all of my clients - I know it hasn’t just been me who was challenged to the depths this year, I’ve really seen this reflected in so many of my clients, in various ways and degrees. Watching my clients show up for themselves, commit to their health, wellbeing and growth (in whatever ways they could in any given moment, understanding that this is a sliding, non linear scale!) was incredibly inspiring to me, and made me feel so damn grateful for the work that I do to be able to witness this ongoing testament to human strength and resilience (understanding that sometimes, having a bit of a breakdown - to rebuild on the other side - is part of it!).
Also so grateful to my own personal support team who really showed up for me this year. Working in a field caring for others (and being an Aquarian!), I’ve often struggled to ask for, or receive, care & support from others - in a year where I had no choice, thank you to all of you who showed up when I needed you. You know who you are.
A research article from Harvard University showed “gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness, more positive emotions, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.” - yes, thanks!
So, with that in mind, I invite you to take some time to reflect this week on what you’re grateful for this week/year. Feel free to share in the comments below!
PS stay tuned this week for an exciting announcement… I know ugh classic instagram comment - but seriously you guys, it’s exciting! 💫
