🙌 Yes!!

Yep, I am Also your confidence booster!
&
Your cheerleader ( 📣 🙃🤭🙌🙌 another fun fact about me - I was the first freshman in my high school to make the Varsity football cheerleading squad And I Also was a cheerleading coach in high school for junior high school kids And I did all of that while also teaching dance and helping to run a dance school in high school too, while also continuing my own dance training daily because my first love since the age of 3 has always been the beautiful art of dance- or like one of my all time favorite Professional dance companies that I paid to see live in NYC was called- “Shaping Sound”.

Yeah, I Really miss those days of Energy.

These days, if I have any energy or let’s say the infrequent but still a huge gift of having more than a little energy, it’s funny in that I can recognize the immense difference in a blink of an eye.

Oh, yeah, and about the badass part of this quote image 👆
Not having energy and still doing all that I do, That is what makes me Badass, is how I look at it- after straightening out my Perspective and Reframing my Headspace.
And honestly without my onset of major depressive disorder at age 34 (I am now 52), I would never have really achieved Becoming Badass! And, I always admired Badass people of all kinds.

Always remember this whole hard thing called life and life transitions requires us to take on new, healthier Perspectives Always, And this is what I learned from the Headspace app is also called “Reframing” (best app in the world, at least when I used it daily in 2017 - 2019)

And I have specific, Large, photo album folders on my phone - 1 titled “Reframing Headspace” from my saved key takeaways from each Headspace course lesson I took (that Of Course I will be sharing with you in my group Resilience and Mindfulness) and I have another specific, Large, photo album folder titled “Perspectives” that Of Course I will be sharing with you in my group titled Resilience and Mindfulness)

To anyone seeing this post outside of my group - here is the direct link Resilience and Mindfulness and Join Us for So Much & because literally Everyone needs to learn both Resilience and Mindfulness (and, I don’t stop there with what goodies I share To Help YOU 😁🙃)

"You wake up every day and think, ‘Is this the day a relapse is going to happen again?’” says San Diego musician Courtney Casner, who has dealt with her own ups and downs.

Counseling psychology professor Evelyn Hunter, of Auburn University, says, “For folks newer in their MS journey, fear of relapse is among the most significant psychological issues. You don’t know your body, you don’t know what form a relapse would take, you don’t know the long-term effect. …

“Fear of relapse also spikes at big life transitions like parenthood, changing careers or moving. People worry, ‘What if my MS gets in the way?’”

Clear perspectives about relapses and how to minimize that fear so it doesn't paralyze your life: www.nationalmssociety.org/news-and-magazine/momentum-magazin...

When it's cold like today, there's a spot under my ribs where the itch just won't go away.

Plus with heavy hands it's harder to reach those rascally itches.
