Do you feel like you have to become someone else d

Do you feel like you have to become someone else depending on who you’re around? Maybe you are one way around your friends at school, another way with your friends from church and another way with your family….. isn’t it exhausting!?
.
.
.
.
When we do this we generally have good intentions. Intentions to keep the peace or fit in. The downside is we end up lacking in integrity.
.
.
.
.
Integrity is like a bedrock we can stand on in which our character, actions, and values are unwavering regardless of our surroundings.

🖤 You are NOT perfect and that is okay. Perfection is an unattainable standard that nobody achieves. You don’t have to be perfect to be lovable. You don’t have to be perfect to have worth.

There is a LOT of talk about worthiness out there

There is a LOT of talk about worthiness out there on the internet. A lot of it is wonderful. But MOST of it tells us to find our worth “within” which sounds great until you realize that most people have a pretty strong inner critic within. The truth is that if our worthiness comes from others we are likely to be left feeling worthless and if our worthiness comes from within, we have the same problem.
.
.
.
Especially if worthiness is placed in things as fluid as otter appearance, status, people opinions, and our achievements.
.
.
.
So the question remains.. Can we be worthy? What does it mean to be worthy?
Drop your thoughts below!

We believe in sharing stories because we all have

We believe in sharing stories because we all have a story. A journey that has molded our perspectives and our fears. These stories are what make us unique. They are the fabric which makes up who we are and they stitch together our character. Our stories reflect our pain, our challenges and ultimately our ability to overcome.
.
.
.
Share with a friend who needs the encouragement 🖤

🖤 Just a friendly reminder! Relationships may come and go, but your integrity should remain. Things told to you in confidence should be held close to your heart and handled with care, even if you have a rocky relationship with the person in question. This seems so simple, but it can be hard to uphold.

Are you chasing “perfection” and if so, have y

Are you chasing “perfection” and if so, have you clearly defined for yourself what it is that you are pursuing? Is this pursuit reasonable? Is it healthy? Is it attainable? Where did your idea of perfection come from?
.
.
Many of us live with a nagging inner dialogue informing us that we are not measuring up, yet we don’t know what we are measuring against. It just feels LESS THAN.
.
.
.
And because we aren’t reaching our self imposed bar, we tell ourselves that we are failing. Not that we are a work in progress, not that we have strengths, and not that GOD ALONE is perfection, but that because we are not perfect, we are worthless. Do you find yourself falling into this cycle? A cycle that says you must be everything or you are nothing? You are not alone.
.
.
.
.
Things to remember:
0.At the end of the day, perfection is not attainable and we know this but easily forget. Our bar is ALWAYS moving and once we reach one goal, we immediately desire something more, and something “better.”
0.Perfection is not necessary. We can accomplish amazing things in the midst of struggle, experience joy in seasons of hardship, and be proud of things that will never make headlines. We can impact the world one person at a time, and our body might never make the front page of sports illustrated, but it will faithfully carry us through all of your days.

As you set your resolutions, be aware of goals tha

As you set your resolutions, be aware of goals that are made out of fear, anger, revenge, jealousy, etc. It is GOOD to have goals,
And to desire change, but it is also good to have these goals be reasonable, healthy and attainable without harm to yourself or others. It is okay if your goals happen over MANY YEARS. The road to success also includes many hills and valleys..
.
.
.
There just seems to be a hype for new years that it will “change everything” and tomorrow we will all wake up the same. Yet we will continue to grow slowly and engage in what God has for us.
.
.
.
.
.
Happy New year everyone!! We hope you reflect with gratitude on 2022 and look into 2023 with renewed hope for what may come.

Our coping mechanisms don’t just “happen” fo

Our coping mechanisms don’t just “happen” for no reason. They are behaviors/tools that we have learned to use over time because in some ways, they work. EVEN IF THEY ARE UNHEALTHY. But just because they provide some level of relief or comfort, it does not mean that they are productive or genuinely helpful.
.
.
Because many of these behaviors become habitual over time, it can be challenging to identify what is really underneath them, and as I work with teen girls these 3 things tend to be helpful as we do therapy.
.
.
👀PAY ATTENTION to what triggers your impulse to engage with the unhealthy coping mechanism.
.
.
.
🚨NOTICE what is happening in your body and with your emotions that tends to draw you toward the behavior. In other words, what are you trying to escape, numb or bandaid.
.
.
.
🤝ENGAGE non-judgmentally with the underlying need that you have in that moment and start identifying the healthier ways to have these needs met. If we constantly cover up the problems we face, we will never find genuine healing.
