Let’s talk. . The emotional and physical brea

Let’s talk.

.

The emotional and physical breakdown of an incarcerated person in solitary confinement leads to severe and permanent psychological damage. Can we call this torture?

Click the link in my bio and head to Real Talk to hear my thoughts.

Most people don’t care until they have to care, but I’m asking you to care. Let’s talk. Tell me your thoughts.

Let’s get real for a minute and have this conversation. I’m interested in what you have to say.

.

To segregate in correctional institutions or to not? What advancements have been made since the 1700s, and is it even beneficial to rehabilitation?

Check out my latest blog post under Real Talk in the link in my bio for my opinion on this topic.

“Be careful of your moods and feelings for there

“Be careful of your moods and feelings for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world.” - Neville Goddard 📖

Someone once told me that you can reread a book like The Power by Rhonda Byrne a million times and every time something new will stand out. Books like these have so many messages and lessons that come to you only when you need to hear them. 📖

I came across this quote while rereading The Power for probably the 10th time, and it has never resonated with me the way it does right now. 📖

Take a look at your life and notice how you feel about any given situation. How you feel directly reflects what you receive. Your feelings tell you exactly what you’re thinking. If you feel bad about money, relationships, or health, you will only receive bad. Shift your thoughts to the small positives in every situation. You’ll feel happier about it, which will lead to happier circumstances.

For my 31st birthday this year, my mother-in-law gifted me with the most beautiful vegetable garden. 🌱

Together we planted an array of teeny plants in carefully plotted areas in the wood-boxed garden. 🌱

Every day I get to spend some time taking care of these delicate little mini plants as they grow into healthy vegetables. I get to turn off my phone and engage and interact with nature. I absolutely love this part of my day. Dedicating a little bit of time to helping something grow from the earth feels so rewarding. 🌱

If you’re looking for a way to instantly relax, or for a healthy hobby that makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger, I definitely recommend gardening!

If you’re feeling like you have so many thoughts

If you’re feeling like you have so many thoughts going on in your head and so many ideas of things you want to do and projects you want to start, take a minute to write them down. 🖊

Create a to-do list and prioritize what you can do right now. ✏️ .

Write some realistic goals down and update them frequently! 🖊

When you transform your thoughts into words in a notebook, you start to bring them to life. You also start to declutter your mind. A messy mind equals a messy life.

Never underestimate the healing powers of nature.

Never underestimate the healing powers of nature. If you’re ever feeling negative emotions, unplug and take a walk in nature. Leave your headphones at home and enjoy the sounds, smells, and sights of the natural beauty around you. 🌲 .

The 4 of 4 Method for easing anxiety. This exercis

The 4 of 4 Method for easing anxiety. This exercise taps into four of your senses to calm your mind. It can be done anywhere and only takes a few minutes. .

Step 1: close your eyes, find your breathing. .

Step 2: Spot and recognize four different sounds that you hear. .

Step 3: Notice four different scents that you can smell. .

Step 4: Feel four different sensations across your body. .

Step 5: Take in four different sights that you can see.

Nature. There is something so therapeutic about it

Nature. There is something so therapeutic about it. Whenever I have a moment where I feel low, I stop and give my senses back to nature. .

I’ll appreciate the way the colours on Mother Nature’s canvas blend seamlessly together as if each shade and tone was picked to match perfection. .

The way the birds sing calming melodies as the water lightly drums against the edges of the earth in perfect harmony. .

The way the cool air feels crisp and refreshing as it kisses my skin, reminding me that I am here and alive. .

I’ll smell the dew-filled air and fill my lungs with enough to give me life. .

I call this method of healing the 4 of 4 (4 feelings for 4 senses). Thank you universe for being so unapologetically beautiful. Thank you for giving me balance and providing me with enough bad to appreciate the good and enough good to recognize the bad. ❤️✌🏼🥥

Disclaimer: I keep changing the vibe of my page. It transformed from a beauty page, where I sold false lashes, to a page about mental health and wellness. I know I’ve given my page a couple of facelifts, but this is me trying to be as authentic as I can be. Thank you for bearing with me as I figure it out. 🌱
After being faced with a life-altering event, I realized that my values have changed. I feel as though I have been given a second chance at life, and, with this, I want to spend every day showing my gratitude and appreciation to the world by helping us all connect with each other on a raw, human level. 🌱

I want to use this platform to show you that no matter who you are, where you are, or what you believe, you are not alone. I hope the stories and tips you come across on my page and blog help you live your best life. 🌱

With that said, here is a picture of a trail that I’ve walked more times than I can count. I have always found nature to be healing and calming. Let this picture represent a windy and unpredictable path to becoming your best self. ❤️✌🏼🥥 #happycoconut
