Labels! We love them, we hate them, we avoid ‘em, we seek them! Labels can mean so many different things to so many different people, and, to be honest, there no right or wrong way to think about them. Our brains use labels as a means of classification; they love to put things into little boxes, and having a label helps them do that. But that doesn’t mean labels are always good or helpful.

How many times have you seen someone being labelled as “the smart one” and feeling crushed by the pressures? There are so many ways that labels can harm us (intentionally or unintentionally).

BUT labels can also be incredibly helpful. Take the current uptick of ADHD diagnoses for example, a TON of folks are getting access to so much more support than they ever thought possible because they’ve finally found a label for what they’ve been experiencing.

AND to make it even MORE confusing, sometimes labels can be helpful and harmful at the same time. Like when someone who’s bi feels like they’re “not bi enough” if they’re in a long term cis-het relationship. The label of bi might feel the most affirming of their sexuality, but the different stigmas and/or gatekeeping around the what bi-ness is might feel confusing and suffocating if their life doesn’t align perfectly with the definitions they see.

So, why am I all 🗣️“let’s talk labels” if I’m just going to say “labels are confusing and can be a lot of different things”??? BECAUSE my dear friends, I want you to know you’re not alone if you struggle with labels AND you’re also not alone if you love them. You’re especially not alone if you feel good about some and weird about others. Use labels however they work best for you (as long as you’re not harming others!!!). Accept some, brush off others, take some with a grain of salt. YOU are the only one who gets to decide what labels you apply to yourself and any chitter chatter from the peanut gallery simply doesn’t matter.

And if you need help navigating the topic of labels and/or how you want to apply them to yourself, book a FREE 15-Minute Consultation via the link in my bio to see if I might be a good therapist for you!

I’m constantly talking with clients about how impossible it can feel to actually REST because it’s so addicting to just veg out.

And, listen, I love a good veg. Sometimes the best thing ever is looking at my little phone screen while some trash tv plays on my big screen. But generally if I veg for too long I feel like actual garbage. I’ve watched whole seasons of reality tv in a day as my “lazy day” activity and then cried because I felt worse instead of better.

That’s because veg-ing isn’t actually great rest. ESPECIALLY if we’re doing it for too long too often. The dual screens and the short form content get our brains addicted, stuck in a loop and fiending for more, and then all of a sudden 3 hours have gone by and we’re pi**ed at ourselves.

SO, here’s some (realistic) ideas of ways to take a little step away from the veg cycle. And remember, I’m not saying veg-ing is bad and you shouldn’t do it. I’m just saying everything in moderation.

Try it out and let me know how it goes! And if you want more support breaking out of the veg cycle use the link in my bio to book a FREE 15 Minute Consultation call to see if I’m the right therapist to help you out!

You guys, no matter what Rhianna says, we actually CANNOT go 0 to 60 in 3.5!

It’s so easy for us to fall into the trap that we can only do new things or make changes or choices if WE’RE PERFECT or the CONDITIONS ARE PERFECT.

💥News Flash💥 THAT ISN’T TRUE!!!!!

You ACTUALLY have to start where you’re at right now.

Maybe you can’t sit down and bang out a whole book, what if you just start with one sentence?

Going to the gym for the first time ever? Don’t reach for the 50lb dumbbells babe, start with your body weight or 2 or 5!

Missed a day of that new habit you’re trying to form? Oh well, you can always pick it back up tomorrow! (You DO NOT have to “try again next week”)

What I’m saying, y’all, is that you do not have to be an expert to try something new. Especially when it comes to your mental health! Adapt, adjust and apply in a way that fits where you’re at now and as you sstart to see some growth you can readjust.

And, if you need help adjusting your goals or figuring out how to start where you’re at, book a FREE 15 minute CONSULT CALL using the link in my bio to see if I’m the right person to help you out!

Life is never all good or all bad; sometimes the cherry blossoms are right next to the outhouses, y’know? 🌸💩

Okay, I know that’s not a real saying, but it is a true one. Beauty can exist at the same time as s**t.

There are terrible horrible things happening in the world, but there are also really really good ones.

Unfortunately, it’s not all as black & white as things either being all beautiful or all s**tty. It’s messy and it’s chaotic and it can feel really weird recognizing the good and the bad all at once. But, that’s life.

As we get older, we better understand the nuances of life, and the ups and downs it comes with, but we often continue spend too much time striving for perfection, trying to be HAPPY ALL THE TIME or making every day rainbows. But that’s not realistic. We’ve got to accept that there will always be a bit of both beauty and s**t (and some neutral stuff in between) and do what we can with what we’ve got.

To be clear, I’m not telling you that you always have to step in the s**t or wallow in it like a pig. You’re allowed to side-step it, or spray some poo-pouri, or get out a p**p bag to clean it up, but you can’t do any of those things if you’re pretending it’s not there, right?

Ps. It applies the other way too, even if you’re stuck wallowing in the s**t you can usually look around and find some beauty. A lot of plants grow best with manure. 💁🏼‍♀️
