Check out our new blog post about managing Halloween anxiety with your kids!

It is that time of year when the leaves begin to change colors, the air feels cooler, and stores stock up on scary and spooky decor and snacks. For many, this is the best holiday.

Today I led a workshop for black employees centered on taking a step back to self-preserve.

Among all the action taking place, there is an excitement and a call to do it right NOW. Then, there may be feelings of selfishness for stepping back to take care of yourself.
This is a marathon, not a sprint.
In self-preserving, you prepare yourself to take sustainable action in this movement.

Get in that grind, but also take moments to do things that bring you joy.
Sleep.
Nourish your body.
Move your body.
Be in community.
Take breaks.

I honestly feel humbled by this work.
To stand in solidarity, is donating 100% of the proceeds from this workshop to the .

Let’s keep it going.

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde

As I was connecting with friends and family today and discussing the painful realities of being black in America, I realized how sacred these spaces are. To vent, to be able to express the pain, to feel held and supported...even if for a short time during your week or day.

This month I am offering a FREE mental health support group for black, indigenous and people of color to come together. It is especially important right now that we have safe spaces and community to express our internal experiences and continue to lift each other up.

Today we met with AMAZING CSA team to talk about Emotional Labor at work. What is that?

Emotional Labor is the process of managing our own feelings and expressions to fulfill the emotional requirements of a job. When we are in a position of service, we often have to put our own feelings, reactions and opinions aside to be able to listen to and meet the needs of our client or customer.

Emotional Labor can help us be successful at our work, but may also leave us feeling 'spent' or 'empty.' Research shows that being unable to attend to our emotional experience can affect how we perceive others, our communication, and our health. Our bodies understand unprocessed emotions as stress, and this can throw off our sleep, appetite, mood, ability to focus and experience joy.

How do you 'fill up our own cup'?

Practicing mindfulness, self-compassion and carving out time for restorative activities.

Let’s talk about how to implement these practices into your everyday life.

After leading a mindfulness workshop this week for , I’ve been reflecting on how I practice in my daily life.

My dear friend reminded me that 50% of our day is spent on autopilot! That’s great for brushing our teeth or doing mundane things. We can’t be present for every moment, but do I really want to be unaware, distracted, living in the past or future for 50% of my life?!

Mindfulness means being aware of what is happening right NOW. In your body, in your mind, in your surroundings.

Especially with the current crisis, it’s easy to get lost in an imagined future and ruminate on what will happen. But is that serving us?

Give yourself permission to pause and be aware. It can be little things. The taste of your breakfast, the comfort of a blanket as you cuddle up on the couch, the breeze on your walk, the sound of your friends laugh over zoom, the color of the trees.

Let’s not look back on this time and realize we spent the whole time worrying, instead of cherishing the moments we have.

How are you practicing?
