Listen to your body and perhaps ask yourself why you have excuses. Or what is coming up for you that you want the break.

Sometimes we fill our schedule without asking what we want.
And then cue the excuses.

Self love is an action and taking time for yourself is a boundary, prevents burn out but most importantly, because you deserve it and you are more than what you produce.

You don’t need to produce to be of value.
You already are.

Read that again and write it on your mirror.

If you know a first responder, give your thanks for what they do for our communities.

Did you also know that a typical person will have about 7 major traumas in their life whereas a first responder may experience 7 traumatic incidents in any given week or month?

A recent Canadian study uncovered that fire fighters experience the following:

1/5 have had thoughts of su***de
1/4 have substance abuse
65% are haunted by bad call
44.5 % struggle with trauma symptoms
59% have family/ Relationship problem(s)
87% don’t reach out due to stigma

If you or someone you know is struggling please reach out.

It’s okay not to be okay, but it’s not okay to stay there.

Sessions are available in a safe, non—judgmental and trauma centered environment where you can speak freely and just be heard.

Post traumatic stress injuries (PTSI) happen and we can review some strategies so they no longer impact you, there are no guarantees but I sure as hell will work my hardest and hope you will do the same.

Support is out there,
LeighAnn

💛Setting boundaries 💛

Tell me the truth, did you just get nervous!

Boundaries are healthy and safe and protect your mind and family.

You deserve them and are allowed to say no.
You are allowed to say “let me think about that” before saying yes.

Try it! Maybe with something small and see how it feels.

You got this

You deserve that time to do whatever it is that fills your cup 🫶

Taking time to reflect on what you need is selfcare

What is selfcare?🫶

💛Lighting a candle
💛Reading a book
💛Taking 5 minutes to be alone
💛Walking outside
💛Getting your hair or nails done
💛Calling a friend
💛Drawing, doodling or anything that brings you joy

So take that time today and enjoy it.
You work so hard that you deserve to fill your cup because you cannot pour from an empty cup.

You can do this 🫶

I think as a community we over glamourize being busy.

But imagine we put emphasis on taking care of ourselves and our family. To have time because we book selfcare or quiet time or disconnecting from all our devices.

Remember that, if social media makes you feel good, enjoy it and connect with others.

But if you notice you are scrolling, staring to feel any negative emotions, it may be time to clean up your social from what makes you feel that way.

Life is too short to expose ourselves to additional hardships.

So take 5 today and get your first, HORRAY from me for doing so. I’m proud of you.

Here’s to Monday!
