Be the first person to be proud of yourself, because true pride comes from within. In the end, the only approval that truly matters is your own. Everything you need, everything you are, already comes from within. Why chase external validation when you can honor yourself just fine? When you do, that’s when your pride shines the brightest.

Are you ready to face your fears? Eleanor Roosevelt's timeless advice encourages us to step out of our comfort zones and embrace the unknown. In this video, I discuss the significance of doing something that scares us every day and how it can transform our lives.

I wrote this about the quest for true peace in a world obsessed with external validation. As we chase societal ideals and compare ourselves to others, we often lose sight of what truly brings us fulfillment. This piece explores how letting go of expectations and embracing the present moment can lead to a deeper, more authentic sense of peace. https://lnkd.in/g4AA9Ef9

𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗲𝘁 A lot of people ask me how I am doing and wish that they could do more. I simply respond that I am choosing to stay positive and keep moving forward. Having a positive mindset truly makes a huge difference in how you experience and navigate through life's challenges. While problems and setbacks are inevitable, approaching them with optimism and hope can help you persevere. Here are a few tips for developing and maintaining a positive mindset: 🔆Start each day by setting an intention to be positive. Even a short affirmation like “Today will be a good day” can set the tone. 🔆Minimize time spent around excessively negative people or media. Their pessimism can be contagious. Seek out positive connections instead. 🔆Practice gratitude, even for small things. Appreciating the good helps push out the bad. 🔆Visualize success, not failure. Picture yourself accomplishing your goals. Be patient with yourself and others. Change takes time, so have compassion. 🔆Find the silver linings. Even bad situations often have some positives to focus on. With consistent effort, choosing positivity can shift from being a struggle to a habit. The rewards of a sunny outlook are immense. Why not give it a try? 🌞

ACTUALIZE reflect a process of bringing potential into reality. The etymology of “actualize” can be traced back through several languages and historical periods. The term comes from the late Latin “actualis,” meaning “pertaining to an action,” from “actus,” which means “a doing.” “Actus” is the past participle of “agere,” meaning “to do, to drive.” The suffix “-ize” is used to form verbs and implies the process of rendering or making something into the state described by the root word. In this case, “actualize” means to make actual or real, to realize in action. This term entered the English language in the 18th century.

Coming off a 2-month stint of high stress, this resonated with me. Since Mid-May: 2 business travel trips 1 travel vacation sandwiched between the business trips (I hate flying by the way. Not just as an inconvenience but major anxiety requiring medication to get on the planes.) 1 sick, senior dog - several expensive vet trips, medications and weekly check-in appointments. (Was it time to make "the decision?" Had to ask myself that question a few times.) 1 car accident - a hit and run on my 2-hour commute into the office. Followed by over a month of back & forth with police, insurance, repair shops. 1 family member moved to hospice for a week before passing away. I bounced back & forth between work and hospice every day for that week. There was at least 1 vet appointment for the dog. There were intermittent phone calls with my insurance. There was the accidental notice the police department sent me telling me criminal charges were going to be filed against me for leaving the scene of the accident. Ummm, no. I was the one who was hit. And, oh yeah, my family all moving through different parts of a grief process for someone we knew was going to die from end stage dementia. I had to be strong for them while being very sad on my insides. I am someone who performs well under crisis and sometimes even pride myself on it. This was different. Objectively, I could look at this list and understand it was colossal for any "average" person and I'd expect anyone else to have broken by the halfway point. Why was I holding myself to a higher standard? I started acupuncture appointments the week our family member was in hospice. I never know if these types of things really work but I'm willing to try anything which can't hurt. It will either work because it's supposed to, or it could work from placebo effect. I have had one appointment snap me out of a huge, days long funk I had been in after my aunt passed. That felt palpable. I am also heeding the advice I am being given in these sessions. Maybe don't force myself to go the gym every day because I am very hard on myself about weight gain. Maybe it's ok to leave the lawn mowing for tomorrow rather than tonight after work. Get the dairy free ice cream on Friday afternoon and just enjoy eating it sitting in your car in the parking lot. It's ok to have more than 1 bubble bath in a week. If I want to spend 6 hours in the house, doing puzzles while my dog and cat laze on the couch next to me, so be it. On weekends, I feel like I must maximize time on the beach. But I'm just not feeling the summer tourists & spending the initial peaceful moments dreading the group whose going to plop down super close to me blaring their radio. The point is, this is life. For all of us, at multiple times. This is life. Give yourself grace. Take care of yourself even when you are deep in the trenches of it. Do whatever you must to stay who you are.
