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 you… 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 (or tomorrow – if it’s late) 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 ? The question is perfect because it makes you think, leads an answer by asking “what” not “if” or “will I”, 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, “finally take the plunge and start my trauma page.” And here we are. Sappy thank you stuff below I have literally been working up to this since February, and couldn’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 it’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. Y’all being here and getting something out of it makes me all warm and fuzzy. So much love, friends -Taelor
