What are you going to do to take care of yourself today?

At the end of every session with my therapist, she asks me this question. So, now, I ask youโ€ฆ ๐™’๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™–๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™œ๐™ค๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™™๐™ค ๐™ฉ๐™ค๐™™๐™–๐™ฎ (or tomorrow โ€“ if itโ€™s late) ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™ฉ๐™–๐™ ๐™š ๐™˜๐™–๐™ง๐™š ๐™ค๐™› ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง๐™จ๐™š๐™ก๐™› ? The question is perfect because it makes you think, leads an answer by asking โ€œwhatโ€ not โ€œifโ€ or โ€œwill Iโ€, and it reminds us to prioritize ourselves in our healing journeys. I usually say exercise, Netflix, or spending time with my boyfriend, but last week I said, โ€œfinally take the plunge and start my trauma page.โ€ And here we are. Sappy thank you stuff below I have literally been working up to this since February, and couldnโ€™t get the motivation to do it. Turns out it was a freeze response and PTSD showing up in new ways, so therapy was a good next step for me first. Rambling aside, thank you. Thank you for your comments, for those messaging privately to share gratitude and how itโ€™s helping them already. Thank you! This really is my calling. The universe has been pushing me towards this for, what I think is literally my whole life, but especially the past year. Yโ€™all being here and getting something out of it makes me all warm and fuzzy. So much love, friends -Taelor
