This week our Tuesday Self-Care group had a rich conversation about the places we go when the heart is open. When the heart is open, we are vulnerable, tender, and available to being hurt as well as to being loved ever more fully.

When it comes to pursuing a fit mind, we often hear about rigorous mental exercises, complex strategies, and disciplined routines.

In the ever-unfolding tapestry of nature, the cycle of seasons moves with a fluidity that knows no bounds. From the gentle embrace of spring to the fiery blaze of summer, from the crisp hues of autumn to the silent slumber of winter, nature dances in a continuous rhythm of renewal and rebirth.

Mental health advocacy has gained significant momentum recently, with men playing an increasingly pivotal role. Historically, societal expectations and stereotypes have often hindered men from openly discussing mental health issues.

Fear is a fundamental human emotion, hardwired into our brains as a survival mechanism. Its origins can be traced back to our ancestors, who relied on fear to escape predators and other dangers.

In today's fast-paced and often isolating world, the importance of robust support systems cannot be overstated, particularly for men. Traditional societal norms have often dictated that men should be stoic and self-reliant, discouraging them from seeking help and sharing their emotions.

Self-love is a journey, especially for men who often face societal pressures to appear strong and unemotional. However, cultivating self-love is crucial for overall well-being and happiness.

Human connection is deeply rooted in our ability to feel and express emotions. When we interact with others, our natural inclination often leads us towards sympathy or empathy.

In life there are moments when the universe bestows upon us the gift of abundance—a bountiful harvest of blessings that leaves us feeling as if all is right with the world.

Are you someone who shrinks away or lashes out? Do you allow yourself to feel your feelings? How do you tend to yourself and are you willing to have the hard conversations?

Today in our Self-Care Tuesday group we looked at the places we go when we self assess. We discussed how it's useful to be curious about the difference in meaning we bring to words and how it impacts our lives.

In a world where men often face societal pressures to appear strong and invulnerable, building resilience and emotional strength is more important than ever. Resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity, is not just a trait but a skill that can be cultivated.

Pamela Russell

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, joy can often seem elusive. Stress, anxiety, and constant demands on our attention leave little room for genuine happiness.

Padma Gordon

True belonging only happens when we present our authentic, imperfect selves to the world. Our sense of belonging can never be greater than our level of self-acceptance.

As a Raregiver, it's very likely that you have impossibly high standards for yourself thinking that you need to do things perfectly for your rare child. The truth is you are doing your best and it is good enough.

Christopher Velona

In today's fast-paced world, mental clarity is a precious commodity. For men, the pressure to perform in various roles—whether as a professional, partner, or parent—can be overwhelming.

Pamela Russell

In the grand tapestry of existence, nature imposes limits on all things, shaping the very essence of life itself. From the boundaries of ecosystems to the constraints of physical laws, these limitations serve as the crucible within which energy builds and transformation unfolds.

This week in our Tuesday Self-Care Group we looked at what happens when we compare, and how perilous, painful and unkind comparison can be toward ourselves and others. Have you ever asked yourself, "What does it give me when I compare?”

Christopher Velona

Mental health has historically been a taboo subject, particularly among men. Culturally entrenched norms have often portrayed emotional vulnerability as a sign of weakness, discouraging men from seeking help or even discussing their feelings.

At the heart of each of us lies a sacred well—a reservoir of untapped potential and boundless wisdom, its serene depths a reflection of the vastness of our inner landscape.
