Movement is underrated. Especially in times of stress. So when you're feeling drained about something or chaotic in the head, get out there. Go for a walk, dance it out, shake if off. You can't always think your way outa stress, but you can move your way out of it.

It's frustrating when people don't acknowledge something you do for them. It's easy to judge and resent them. It's transformational to sit with those feelings and understand what's at the root so you can reframe them.

Harsh truth: We all have an inflated sense of self. Which is why accepting feedback can be hard and triggers us. But rather than react and get in attack mode, it's worth asking: What would rejecting this feedback now cost my future self?

Changing your vibe with someone starts with dropping your judgement towards them. If you're constantly convincing yourself of how self-absorbed or uncaring they are, that's what you'll get. Switch up your thoughts and you might just see them through a new lens.

Emotions are not your enemy, they can be your biggest asset if you learn to read the signs. Jealousy: What am I longing for that am seeing in another? Anger: What need of mine is not being met? Frustration: What can I improve about this situation? Don't fight the info, use it.

So many of us avoid confrontation coz we play out the worst case scenarios in our head. I know Ive been there. But we never have control over how someone responds. The only thing we can control is how we show up. Express your truth, that is all you can do And its worth it.
