Two ways to help Black Women practice self care.

Get ready to accept all the good things people compliment you on and be careful what you allow to feed your mind. No negative junk here!

Watch something that will motivate you and make you laugh(laughter is like medicine). Don’t shrink yourself for anyone.

We all need ways to cope in this world, skills that help us regulate our emotions, in a manner that is healthy. Using social media, like all things, should be in moderation, and not to pass judgment. Social media can be a good tool to use, but sometimes, we must take a break from it.

We must validate our experiences and in doing, we validate our existence. Sit in your emotions and process them, and don’t forget to start your day in silence.

Taking a break from social media can increase your mental & physical wellness. Challenge yourself to decrease your time in social media. Also sistas, don’t suppress your angry to please others, hit’m with the truth and keep it moving.

Minding your own business can overwhelming, so minding someone else’s business is just Too Much. Also, everyone has bad days, just like bad things happen to All people. Embrace Your Bad Days.

Not everything is black and white. I know that’s hard to believe but it is true that we can have multiple truths co-existing. We must hit the reset button and give ourselves time to take in the day/week.

Breaking from your healing work and creating times to just be, is essential. What is also important, is releasing yourself from Imposter Syndrome.

Finding someone that fits your therapy needs can be difficult and a little overwhelming, but if you ask yourself the questions outlined in this book, you can find a therapist that is right for you.

We must practice self-care, especially at work. Be firm about setting workplace boundaries.

Boundaries are for you and processing racist encounters with someone who gets it, is important and will allow you to release negative feelings.

Embrace your blackness and your sensitivity, and stop policing your speech, no coding switching. You deserve self care.

Childhood trauma is real and you can heal from it, but it will take radical self care.
