Emotional/ Psychological Self-Care Habits
Maintaining emotional and psychological wellbeing is vital in creating a happy life
When our minds and souls feel nurtured, heard, and supported, it allows us to feel safe to take risks, grow, and change in the ways that support our ultimate life-vision
When we can master our feelings and gain deep emotional intelligence about ourselves, we can then live mindfully and intentionally around that knowledge
We won’t put ourselves into situations or around people that could harm our emotional health; we will learn how to work through difficult psychological moments with more clarity and grace; and we can cultivate an unshakeable sense of self that doesn’t sway with our emotional fluctuations ♀️
Above are some habits we practice to help maintain our emotional and psychological wellbeing
This is by no means a comprehensive list, and any self care should be tailored to your specific life and needs. This is simply a jumping-off point for you to get inspired about your own ideas for self-care
This journey of learning to implement self-care has been a long one for me. Coming from a background of trauma, codependency, and low self-esteem, self-care wasn’t even a word in my vocabulary ♀️
I lived to do everything for others, and it was usually at the expense of my own needs. To me, this meant I was being a good friend/daughter/lover, but what it really meant was that I didn’t know how to put myself first in a way that would both protect and nurture me
It took years to undo this subconscious programming and it was SO worth it. I’m so much happier, healthier, and self-assured now, and it’s because I really pushed past my own resistance to start caring for myself deeply
Share something you do for your emotional self care in the comments!
Sending Hugs,
Gabrielle
We have a narrative running through our minds all day long. These thoughts create emotions. Those emotions drive all of our behavior.
Most people haven’t practiced self observation. They don’t pay attention to what they’re thinking and speaking. They believe they ARE their thoughts. And their self worth reflects that.
If you want to know what you’re inner narrative is, watch how you speak to strangers. See how you communicate with a person you’ve never met. A screen provides an extra layer of ego protection, which allows your inner narrative to freely flow without a filter.
How you speak to another is how you speak to yourself. How you speak to yourself dictates the choices you make. The choices you make create your life experience.
Learn from how you speak to strangers #selfhealers
Your trauma symptoms are a sign of your need for healing, not as a message of your self-worth.

Ah healing. It’s a huge topic out there and rightly so, but often the perception of healing is so skewed haha it’s a mixed bag of anything at times. Not all breezy and overnight.
Again, just a reminder when I talk about healing I’m talking holistic healing, all encompassing my current health issues yes, but also, my emotional health, mindsets, routines, the food I eat, spiritual health, past, past events, future plans & basically working on myself for myself. This pretty much involves being super honest with myself which can be super uncomfortable. Hence let’s talk feelings.
Healing journeys of any kind are emotional because often it’s dealing with emotional responses. It’s okay if it feels difficult, uncomfortable and like you’re just creating more mess and uncertainty. In my experience that means you’re working through it and actually getting somewhere. Slowly but surely you’re making progress & like all things it’s about the process!
Often we are raised with the idea not to make mistakes, they are bad. Except I guarantee when we all look back the mistakes we have made are like signposts of what to or not to do next time. It’s okay to make mistakes, it’s okay to learn from them. It’s okay to feel every one of those emotions and more as you work through deconstructing why you do what you do/think/say/act etc. Healing requires us to strip back what we’ve been taught, or take steps back to move forward in returning to ourselves with what we always knew but had knocked out of us by other people’s opinions/ attitudes.
It’s a process. Take small steps and stop comparing. What you feel or are working through is unique to you. I have my path you have your path. That doesn’t mean we are alone, we all share this planet on which our unique paths exist. We are not always going to be at the same place and time together and that’s more than okay. Be you, feel it out. Listen to what the emotions are telling you. Sit with it, journal it out. Create, talk, whatever works for you. Remember it’s a process and healing is wrapped in change. Rather than it “looking the right way” focus on small steps (back or forward), commit to it and show up consistently for it
You are all gorgeous, beautiful women. Of course a man will want to be with you. He may even chase you until you give in. Just know that the moment you do, YOU CHOOSE HIM.
F-boys just don't find you. You have to allow them into your life. We make the choice. The best question to ask yourself on this journey is "what part of me resonates with f-boys?" "What parts of me attract these men?" "What do I have in common with them"? Believe it or not, men have the same insecurities we do. The same traumas. The same emotional issues. They just choose to handle them differently.
As children, life just HAPPENS to us because we often had no choice in the matter. So it's easy to carry the same feeling and operation into our adult life and not realize that we make the choice because our inner little girls are still powerless. Allow your adult to step in and take over. But in order to make better choices we have to be aware of the ones we make not and that requires some brutal honesty.
And you may not like the answers. But it is part of the healing process. The choice to face the good and the bad and make peace with it all. So while you may choose them make peace with it and vow to make a better decision moving forward.

Two hallmarks of codependence - the addiction to control and approval. Many of my clients are aghast at the notion that their codependence is rooted in these two issues. .
.
The need to control someone else’s behavior so that they will feel good about said person AND behaving in a way that seeks approval, not to be loved for exactly who they are. .
.
In my example here you may want force him to stop talking to his ex (control) so that he will see you as the better choice (approval). See how that works? .
.
You can’t force your partner to see you in ways that you’re unwilling to see yourself. If you’re worthy of love and respect then you just ARE. No need to beg and plead for it. If you’re not getting it from them then it is time to reinforce your boundaries and WALK. .
.
WALK because you’re done trying to control others in order to obtain a superficial sense of approval. WALKING away means owning your power. The best version of yourself isn’t begging to be SEEN by her partner because she sees herself. Codependence means you are desperately begging at all times to be seen by others because you aren’t ready, willing or able to seen by yourself.
.
.
Refocus the energies of control and approval back to yourself. Self-control and unconditional self-acceptance. Try it. And while you’re at it, block, delete and walk away. It’s time to focus on what you need. Not what they need so that you can feel better. .

Los Angeles,
You gave an experience I’ll never forget. I’ve watched my story 383637 times because I’ve never met anyone from Instagram and can’t believe you all are real.
We have co-created a movement. A movement of people who want to be accountable. Who want to heal from their pasts and consciously create the life we are all worthy of.
I’m so proud of every one of you who showed up and the nearly 6,000 of you who live-streamed the event. You chose yourself today. You showed up. You kept a promise to yourself. This is the work.
My next free meditations will be in Philadelphia and NYC. Sign up for my email if you want to be updated on the details.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you— still buzzing with energy. And thank you to @andyheart for taking the wide pan photo. I’m framing it to remember the first time I saw in the physical what we created #selfhealers
