In the last post, I talked about allowing ourselves to have our “down days”. Those days where we just feel like crap. It’s important to acknowledge the negative feelings and emotions we find within ourselves and release them – instead of being in denial of them which just intensifies them even more. I tend to […]
Allow the Down Days
Yesterday was a rough day for me. It was one of those days where you just wake up on the wrong side of the proverbial bed, and you know that every breath that day is going to be a struggle. I knew it the second I woke up yesterday, and good old Negativity decided to […]
Love Yourself through Positive Self-Talk
I haven’t done or read any research about this, but based on my own experiences and the experiences of those around me, I would say that negative self-talk is an elusive epidemic that is causing much of the pain and turmoil we face in our every day lives. Self-talk is just that – talking to […]
Acknowledge Your Divinity
Sometimes, it’s really hard to love ourselves. No one knows us better than ourselves. We know all the deep, dark secrets. We know all the good things, but also all the bad. And we’re an oppressed society that is made to feel inadequate in as many ways as possible. It’s hard for us to believe […]
Accept Yourself
I have a Louise Hay day calendar (which I got for free for being a part of Hay House’s Book Nook), and I came home from Indiana to find that my husband put the page from Monday on our bathroom mirror. The affirmation says: I no longer wait to be perfect in order to love […]
Learn to Love Yourself
I started a new journal a couple of weeks ago. I’d been writing in my old one since June, and I finally filled it up. Starting new journals is always exciting for me, like a new beginning. And with this new beginning, I decided the main focus of this journal would be working on loving […]
Happy Happy Heart
Hello friends! No, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth after my vulnerability breakdown. It did take a lot out of me and then a weekend filled with holiday travels lead to some away time from the old lappy. But I’m back today, more joyful and grateful than ever. I was able to […]
Vulnerability BREAKDOWN
First, thank you all so much for your encouraging words yesterday. It took every ounce of strength I had to post that, and your supportive comments mean the world to me. So in the spirit of vulnerability and in honor of Brené Brown, I thought I’d write about what happened after I posted that yesterday. […]
Return Evil with Compassion
I’m sure most of you are aware of the Steubenville rape case. If you’ve watched TV or been on the internet at all in the past week, surely you’ve seen it. I first heard about it when my friend Carley posted an article about CNN’s coverage of the case and how they seemed to be […]
Fighting with Vulnerability
I’ve been slacking a bit here at Soliloquy this week. Can’t believe it’s been over a week since my last post! I will be honest, I’ve been having a terrible fight with Vulnerability. She’s been popping up saying “Write about this!” and I’m all like, “No!! That’s too personal! What if so and so sees […]
