For all who are getting ready to go back to school, (or are already back) I created a "very special" Back to School Meditation for Teachers.

February 2023 - Self-Acceptance

February 2023 - Self-Acceptance

What would it feel like if you chose to unconditionally accept yourself as you are right now? To love yourself with all your human failings and imperfections (not in spite of them)?

Contrary to how it may seem, self-acceptance isn't about stagnating or giving up on evolving as a person. In fact, I find that self-acceptance provides the nurturing support that helps me continue to grow. The love and compassion we choose to offer ourselves doesn't need to be contingent on some activity or outcome. We are enough right now, in this moment, as-is.

Put less pressure on yourself. Accept that you are perfectly imperfect. And, as best as you can, love yourself unconditionally.

February 2020 - Self-Compassion

In this month of love and affection, I invite you to give yourself some love.

You can accept yourself as you are with all your perfect imperfections. You can give yourself kindness and grace when you make mistakes or experience disappointments. You can unburden yourself from any grudges and resentments that are weighing you down.

Consider other heart-centered ways to give yourself warmth, compassion, and whatever else you may need right now. You deserve it.
