People pleasing is different for many of us and for me, it is still a behavior that I naturally do. It can be difficult feeling like you are selfish that you are choosing you, but you are not! As much as I struggle with this too, I have definitely learned a few things that I wanted to share for anyone who can relate. Filling your own cup is not selfish. You are not only loving yourself, but you are loving others by doing that. When you fill your own cup first, you are able to pour into others more. Enjoy and Happy Wednesday! (:

In this time of young adulthood, we are trying new things, exploring places out of our comfort zones, and just trying to make sense of all of it.

In this episode, I will be diving into a way to view different aspects of ourselves through three main things and how these all connect with each other to help reveal more about who you are truly, what you truly desire, and what is truly meant for you. This episode is to show you that everyone goes through this phase and you are not alone in it!

Something that I feel like is not talked about is feeling guilt when you are happy. This is something that I struggle with especially since in the past, I was so comfortable being sad and being happy felt almost unnatural. To this day, I still feel this way sometimes, but recognizing that you should not feel guilt for being happy is very important. Being a very empathetic person, I can relate easily to others, but I sometimes take on other people's emotions and forget that I am my own person and do not prioritize my own well being first. Remembering that happiness is just as temporary as sadness is something that I have to remind myself as and also not be afraid of feeling whatever it may feel. However, you should embrace the happiness as much as you embrace the sadness and stop comparing your emotions to others. Of course, love on others and understand others, but do not let it take away from your mental health. Protect your heart, be proud of yourself, and keep on living YOUR life!
I know for some of us, the holiday season can be intimidating. Maybe not feeling the best or maybe anxious about the New Year. Today, I will be sharing a little bit about how I have continued to enjoy this rest period as I am home in California despite the emotions or thoughts I may be having. I know with the holidays it can have such an expectation of feeling good about being home, feeling excited for the new year, or whatever it may be for you. I hope you all are taking time to get the rest you need and also take control of your emotions and thoughts and not how you would imagine it. Instead, I have been reminding myself of who I am without the emotions and thoughts that are just there. I am instead choosing to live and move forward with these emotions and thoughts, but they are in the back seat and I am the one driving in the car. Life ain't that serious and those emotions and thoughts are temporary! Let those emotions and thoughts be there and address and observe them, but do not let them stop you from continuing on your journey through life, even through the holiday season full of expectations.
Feeling like your emotions are taking over? Like they are moving you farther away from where you want to be? Well, that's far from the truth. As I am dealing with many emotions at once, it can make me feel like my life is falling out of place. However, remembering that this is meant for me and I am not supposed to feel any other way helps me embrace the struggles and helps me find purpose. I think I also am learning to adjust as I grow and learn more about what helps me through the unknown and the uncomfortable. Allowing our emotions and our struggles help guide us through it all is important to use it to your advantage and not see it as a weakness.
