Feeling the sting of jealousy? Here’s a gentle guide to navigate through those moments:

1. Embrace Your Feelings: It’s okay to admit it—“I’m feeling jealous because I wish I had _____.” Dive into those feelings. Are they stirring up anger, embarrassment, or insecurity Acknowledging them is the first step towards understanding.

2. Self-Compassion is Key: Remember, it’s completely normal to feel jealous at times. Be kind to yourself and recognize that these feelings don’t define your worth.

3. Transform It: Can your jealousy spark a fire within you? Ask yourself if it can motivate you towards your own goals. Let it fuel your journey, not hinder it.

4. Gratitude: Shift your focus by listing what you’re grateful for. It’s a simple, yet powerful way to redirect your thoughts towards positivity.

5. Set Boundaries: If certain people or situations trigger your jealousy, it might be time to set healthy boundaries. This could mean unfollowing, limiting interactions, or being mindful of the media you consume.

6. Celebrate Others: Practice happiness for others’ success. Tell yourself, “Despite my feelings, I genuinely wish them joy and success.” It’s a powerful mantra that can shift your mindset.

Remember, navigating jealousy is part of our journey towards growth. Let’s embrace it with grace and move forward, stronger and more centered. 🤍 ...

Hey everyone! I am continuing my deep dive into spring cleaning by cleaning the things that clean the things! The washing machine edition! 🧼🫧

Steam cleaners are the MVP here, getting into those spots you didn’t even know were dirty. Watch out for the rubber seal – don’t overdo it; we don’t want to warp anything! I stuck mainly to nooks and crannies 😆

After steaming, I wipe everything down with a damp microfiber cloth to catch any leftovers. For that first sign of mold? CLR to the rescue! Then, thoroughly wipe with a microfiber cloth.

Mixing 1 cup water with ½ cup baking soda for the machine’s detergent container and throwing 2 cups vinegar into the drum does wonders. Run a regular cycle if you don’t have a wash cycle.

Remember to wipe the outside with an all-purpose cleaner or another microfiber cloth.

I thought I was doing enough with regular wash cycles, but it turns out it’s never as clean as you think. 😅 Also, pro tip: leave the door and detergent compartment open a bit when not in use. It helps keep that moldy smell at bay.

Comment WASHER, and I’ll message you with product details! You can also catch it in the Shop portion linked In my bio.

And, of course, you don`t need the steamer; you can use the same products and some elbow grease! 💪🏼 The steamer just makes it easier! 😉

Ever catch your child spiraling into the ‘I can’t’ abyss? It’s a heart-squeeze for any parent. But imagine flipping the script from self-doubt to self-belief. 🌱

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) isn’t just for adults; its principles can empower kids to master inner dialogue. By teaching them to challenge negative thoughts and see things in a new light, we’re gifting them resilience and confidence for life. 🙌🏼

Here are 10 CBT-inspired nuggets to transform those ‘I can’t’ into ‘I cans’:

1. Evidence Gathering: “What makes you think that? Let’s look for evidence together that shows how capable you truly are.”
2. Reality Check: “Is that thought always true? Can we think of times when it wasn’t?”
3. Positive Reframing: “Let’s try to see this in a positive light. What’s one good thing about this situation?”
4. Perspective Taking: “If your friend felt this way, what would you tell them? Can we say that to ourselves?”
5. Identifying Distortions: “Are we maybe thinking in all-or-nothing terms? Remember, it’s okay to be somewhere in between.”
6. Scaling: “On a scale of 1-10, how big is this problem? What can we do to make it feel like a lower number?”
7. Problem-Solving: “What’s one small step we can take right now to feel better about this?”
8. Gratitude Prompt: “Can we name three things we’re grateful for today? It’s a great way to remind us of the good around us.”
9. Strengths Focus: “Let’s talk about your strengths. How can we use one of them to tackle this challenge?”
10. Mindfulness Encouragement: “Let’s take a deep breath and feel the ground beneath our feet. What are three things you can see/hear/feel right now?”

Why practice CBT techniques at home? Because our words shape our world. Encouraging our kids to navigate their thoughts positively doesn’t just help them today—it builds the foundation for a lifetime of mental strength and happiness. 🤍
