Get Healthy Tea

Guess who hit the seven seas today aka the lake 😂 to sail for the first time. Living in Minnesota has definitely made me more adventurous and more appreciative of nature. Thanks to the Minneapolis chapter of Outdoor Afros and the Minneapolis Sailing Center for such a fun Sunday.

Hey y'all, I'm alive 😂. Part of why I've been so quiet is because I don't have much to say in this season. This season has really been one of reflecting, feeling, hurting, and healing and it's taking a lot out of me. I'm working through processing A LOT of surpressed emotions and working on the relationship I have with myself. I've been hurt by a lot and I've lived a lot of my life isolated. I've pretended to be a lot of what I felt was expected of me, and I'm working through defining my true identity. I cry a lot and I'm usually angry reflecting on ways I've felt put down and abandoned. I've felt unknown and unsupported for so long. Idk how to let people in to know and love me. Honestly it's been A LOT... Buuuut it hasn't been for nothing. I feel myself coming out of the darkness. I feel myself coming into my power and defining my identity and my life on my own terms. I'm developing healthy boundaries and honoring myself. I'm being more vulnerable and having more rewarding relationships. I'm processing old trauma, while learning to process new trauma as it happens so I don't have to do it later. I'm feeling the most confident and cared for I have in my life. I'm seeing myself for the woman I truly am. Life is ugly and beautiful and I'm over here working hard through my beautiful mess. I'll keep y'all posted. 🥰

Tiara where you been!?!?

Honestly, I was scared to start the podcast, because I was scared this would happen.

My mental health can be so up and down, and life keeps getting in the way, I feel like I regularly have more on my plate than I have capacity for and something truly has to give. I've needed to take some time to just be. To not have obligations before work in the morning, to not have much on my calendars after work in the evening, to eat take out when I don't feel like cooking, to clean my room by stuffing all my clothes in the closet, to burn incense and candles and listen to music and play games on my phone in my own little world. I'm tired. Exhausted even. And in this season my priority is caring for me, which is the whole purpose for my brand. Caring for myself out loud in a way that hopefully inspires them to care for themselves a little more.

If you talk to God please pray for a lil extra peace and favor for ya girl. I'm making another major life transition soon that's tryna stress me out, but I’m choosing joy in the midst of obligation. I’ll be back soon love y’all 🥰

Ya girl was DOWN BAD. I was tryna be a hot girl not consistently taking her medicine since I've been on the move and it wasn't in the cards for me 😭. Depression was waiting for me at the doe! I've been a ball of emotions one been trying to ignore. I'm exhausted by the perpetual work I'm expected to perform in my personal and professional life. I'm trying to decide my next moves. I'm frustrated with my relationships. I'm irritated with my back sliding and horrible diet. ALLLLLAT!!

But a major lesson I've been learning is that we simply are. We are not to be defined as good or bad, we are who we are and we should learn to accept all the things that make us the perfect blend of who we are.

I've been freaking out cause I'm controlling. (The irony right 🙄 lol). Until recently, I always saw this as a flaw (alongside many others), but I've realized that's who I felt I needed to be to navigate life up through this point. As the oldest, independent child, I felt like I had no choice but to take control of my own life early on. I had to be the one to protect myself.

I'm realizing there's nothing wrong with taking control, but I can shift the ways I do it, and the space it comes from within. I don't have to control things out of fear and lack of confidence, but I can acknowledge in my moments of fear that I feel afraid of being out of control, that I'm not as in control as I seem and maybe I do need help sometimes.

I often get frustrated with my journey because I'm putting in all this work and I'm not any closer to being "fixed" yet, but life is a marathon, but a sprint. It's about the journey, not the destination. I think if we all take some time to refocus and take our eyes off "the prize" whatever that may be for you, the car, the man, the degree, the family, the dream job, etc., and stopped to admire the beauty of the things we've already achieved, we would realize the fullness of life NOW, TODAY and not live for tomorrow.

Went for a walk this morning before work. I saw the sticker on the wall in the last picture that inspired me to take more. I was out with the dog parents and retirees 😂. It was a little chilly, so I layered up, and wondered if I did enough when I saw white people were wearing jackets and I wasn't. 😂😂 Here are some of my favorite shots.

25/03/2021

23/03/2021

Sometimes we are truly our own worst critics. No matter what we do, we are never satisfied, and it's never enough. I've been working on changing my negative self talk with my therapist since the fall and the results have been AMAZING!! This morning when I didn't feel like working out, I said to myself, "Thank you so much for getting ready. I love you so much. I'm so proud of you. Thank you for honoring us even though you don't feel like it. Thank you for fighting for our joy." Thanking myself has been a GAME CHANGER. So get in that mirror and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR YOU!!!

Depression has been kicking my butt, so this is my first time moving my body in about a week. I didn't want to get up today, and I'm not feeling 100%, but I owe it to myself to honor all that I've been investing in myself. I didn't do as much as I wanted. I didn't run as long as I wanted. But I did something. Celebrate the small victories. 🙌🏾

16/03/2021

My new shirts came in the mail today!! Here's a sneak peek!! They'll be going on sale along with the mugs at the end of this month!! It's so crazy to have ideas go from your head to your hands. I'm incredibly proud of myself for jumping with no idea what I'm doing. I learn almost everything along the way. Thank you for all the support thus far. Your well wishes keep me going when everything in me wants to quit. 🥰

I'm on day 3 of waking up at 5 something am, and I've honestly been loving it!! I'm a natural morning person, who usually starts the day at 6:30, so the extra hour isn't a huge difference for me. But I want to keep my weekends free, so I need to maximize my time during the week, and mornings are my "genius zone." I've set up time for 1 hour of spiritual, physical, and passion development before starting my day. Here are the current books I'm using in my spiritual time, also the Bible app is bae. What are you currently reading?
