Things I read this week that just made sense 🫶

2025/5/11 Edited to

... Read moreI'm so excited to share some deeper thoughts on the incredible insights I’ve been reading lately. It's truly been an "inner glow up era" for me, focusing on self-care, self-love, and self-knowledge, which are all crucial steps to becoming the most interesting woman in any room. These aren't just pretty words; they're actionable ideas that have helped me clean up my life, habits, and beliefs, prioritizing things that genuinely make me feel good. One of the biggest takeaways has been exploring the "6 Laws of Maturity." For me, this means consciously choosing friends wisely, surrounding myself with people who uplift and inspire. It also involves learning to expect nothing, which liberates me from disappointment and allows me to appreciate everything more. Doing my best in every situation, regardless of the outcome, and constantly working on controlling myself – my reactions, my impulses – has been transformative. It’s a continuous journey, but these principles truly make a difference in fostering personal growth. Then there are the "DAILY REMINDER" messages that resonate deeply. Cultivating gratitude, maintaining positivity, and demonstrating perseverance, even when things don't go as planned, are non-negotiable for my well-being. I find myself in an era of letting go of what no longer serves me, accepting change with an open heart, and creating new, meaningful relationships. It's about speaking my truth kindly but firmly, and consistently practicing self-love – a practice that often gets overlooked but is so vital. It’s a continuous "letter to myself" to always prioritize my goals and celebrate every small victory. These reads have also highlighted the profound "mind-body connection" and the importance of healing. Letting go of past hurts, understanding my self-worth, and embracing self-love are not just abstract concepts; they are daily practices. There’s a past version of me that is undoubtedly so proud of how far I have come, and these daily reminders help me acknowledge that progress. It's about building a life of abundance, peace, and tenderness, trusting in a higher power and in my own capacity to grow. Every step forward, every small shift in perspective, contributes to this beautiful journey of becoming.

Can we all just talk about the fact that trying to do anything in this day and age is SO expensive?! 😩 From the gas it takes to go anywhere, to grabbing a coffee, going to a play place, paying for food, entertainment, etc, it’s ridiculous how much it all is! Not that you have to leave the house

The image shows a desk with a laptop, a vase, and books, overlaid with the title "3 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Read The Body Keep The Score," indicating a book review.
Over a blurred desk scene, the text "1: Trauma isn't just what happened" explains that trauma includes the absence of care, safety, or love, as learned from the book.
Against a blurred desk background, the text "2: The body remembers what the mind forgets" describes how the body manifests trauma through physical symptoms like tight shoulders and anxiety.

I didn’t know I had trauma until I read this book. Not the “obvious” kind. No one hit me. Nothing made the headlines. But I was anxious, on edge, easily overwhelmed. I thought something was wrong with me. Then I read The Body Keeps the Score — and everything made sense. This book showed me

The image is a title card for an article, featuring the bold text "HOW TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING YOU READ." It includes playful illustrations like a sun, stars, abstract shapes, a heart, a paper airplane, and a cartoon child, setting a lighthearted tone for reading tips.
This image outlines pre-reading strategies under the heading "Before you read." It lists three points: setting a purpose for reading, previewing the text by skimming headings, and activating background knowledge by making connections to what you already know.
Titled "As you read:", this image details active reading techniques. It advises readers to read actively by asking questions, take notes, visualize the text to create mental images, and re-read difficult passages for better comprehension.
