euphoria: the feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness 🌻 I may struggle with depression and anxiety but I also have moments of pure and genuine happiness. That is where I am right now. One of the gifts I’ve received in sobriety is the ability to hold space for all of my emotions. I feel them, I acknowledge them and I let them pass. For me, it’s in the passing where the power is... I don’t stay in it. ✨ 45 is going to be amazing. ✨

Depression and anxiety can easily knock me down. But I continue to get up. I do my hair, throw on some hoops, dab a little gloss and give myself a pep talk. Dear Me, I know you’re scared, but you can handle this. Keep going. Love, Me 🌻#selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove

No I’m sorry or explanation necessary. Just NO and keep it moving. ”No” is hard when you’re a people pleaser but boundaries are absolutely necessary. It’s something I’m learning to do to maintain my own peace of mind. Lack of boundaries invites lack of respect. And I respect myself way too much to allow anyone to disrespect me. 💥 periodt ✌🏼 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove

I try to start my mornings with a gratitude list.

I try to start my mornings with a gratitude list. After meditating and writing my list, I opened my Beautiful You book. Describing myself in 25 words or less without using roles or physical features was not easy. It took a little time. But I did. Making healthy choices, setting boundaries is a daily practice. I am grateful I have the willingness to do so. I am grateful I can pause and breathe through my anxiety. I am grateful I have the courage to follow my dreams. Thank you @rosiemolinary - I am grateful for your words and online presence in my life. Hope we can be in the same room again soon. xoxo amiga 💛 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove

One of my favorite Frida quotes... I understand the loneliness. More so during the quarantine. As painful as it has been, it’s allowed me to heal. The solitude forced me to figure myself out. I may not always be happy about my situation, but I am happy with myself. And I think it shows. 💛 #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove

“Of all the roads she traveled the journey back

“Of all the roads she traveled the journey back to herself was the most magnificent.” ✨ Sometimes the most meaningful connection we can make is the one with ourself. Through recovery and writing I am slowly becoming the woman I’ve always wanted to be. #selfcareseptember #radicalbodylove

September is my birthday month and I’m counting

September is my birthday month and I’m counting the days to 45. I’m ready to move into the next chapter of my life... and I’m going to commit to a self-care September. ✨ Today I intend to accept myself just as I am in this moment. ✨ I am enough. I do enough. I have enough. I am magic. So obviously I needed to throw on my Boricua @lunamagicbeauty tee and lipstick. #radicalbodylove #selfcareseptember

Early morning at Orchard 🏖 listening to the 🌊 writing 📒 🖊 and lots of laughter 💛

Recovery is empowering. I am “finding and using [my] true inner power.” I am so grateful for who I am today because I worked hard to get to this place. 💛

Is it a salute? A raised hand? 💁🏻‍♀️+🙋🏻‍♀️=🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I really just wanted to show off my latest tattoo by @kew.ink - it’s healing beautifully. 💛

Some days I hardly feel like power and fire but then I look at my hair. And I’m like... I’m rocking an undercut. That’s pretty badass. So thank you @loutimes5 for these 🔥 words. I’m sharing them because we all need a little firecracker friend who stays hypin you up. 💓 my homie Lomie 😂

Words written on a withered napkin, were burned and flung into the water. Thank goodness for beautiful friendships, cool summer nights, cleansing rituals and new memories.
