Becoming Her:Self-Acceptance

Happy New Year my love bugs.

We are all on a journey with different people and different paths. Let us Become Her.

The theme for this year is self-acceptance and here is why. Last year our focus was self-love but there really is no self-love without self- acceptance. You cannot hate yourself into becoming the person that you want to be. This is starting at the ground level and accepting yourself as you are. I know we are sold many versions of who you should be online but that would be boring. Are you running away from who you truly are? Are you too busy dimming your light?

This theme allows us to laser focus how we think of ourselves and how we speak to ourselves. I did an Instagram post the other day about affirmations you could try to start of in thr new year. On that note please follow @acreatorswrite_ on instagram. I share a lot of what I put on there too and hopefully this year will be the merger for the two.

An important aspect of the theme of self-acceptance is your surrounding. Are the people you are surrounding yourself with allowing you to be the best version of yourself? Do you always have to change your opinion to be accepted by these people? These could be usefull journal prompts for this year.

We also want to touch on the concept of fear. A lot of us are afraid to do what we really want to do. I found out that I am not afraid to fail but more that I am afraid of the success and here is why. I am afraid that I will become successful but I will not be able to make it sustainable. I also enjoy my current reality, it is my comfort zone, it is less anxiety streaking. Maybe you feel the same way too but you could fail so badly and you could also just come out resilient. It is better to sleep knowing that you tried.

Lastly, what I importantly wanted to touch on is that you are already Her. You have everything within you to become the person that you want to be. You just need to be on a journey where you express that side of yourself.

I have no doubt that 2023 is going to be a good year for all us. I want you to affirm it. May the universe and God help you keep the abundance that you are asking for.

Are you lazy or just burned out?

Good day, my love bugs. In a world that glorifies productivity, resilience, and endless multi-tasking, many women find themselves quietly battling a double-edged sword: executive dysfunction and emotional burnout. These terms can be intimidating, but they are deeply personal and often misunderstood, especially in women with functional depression. What is executive dysfunction? Kendra Kubala from Healthline wrote in her article Understanding Executive Dysfunction and How It Shows Up that executive dysfunction disrupts the brain's ability to plan, focus, remember instructions, and manage multiple tasks. It affects the executive functions of the brain, which are skills that help us get things done. It is not laziness or lack of willpower. It is often linked to mental health conditions like ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. For many women, executive dysfunction looks like: Starting tasks but never finishing them. Constantly missing deadlines or appointments Feeling overwhelmed ...

Editor's note: The 11th hour

Good day, my love bugs. In theme with Easter, I will share a scripture that has been with me through it all. “So let us not become afraid of doing good; for if we do not give up the time will come when we will reap the harvest” Galatians 6:9 A year older and hopefully wiser Every year especially in April I become reflective of my life, choices, relationships etc. I also think it is because Easter takes place in April. The only thought that ran through my life this time around is gratitude. I am grateful to be alive on this birthday. I am glad I did not give up and I am glad to have had the courage to try new things more importantly for sticking true to myself. I have to come to love myself even with my imperfections. April of 2025 has been a beautiful month. The 11th hour On a phone call with a friend, I was describing life at this moment to feel like the 11th hour. Everything worked out last minute and everything miraculously came together at the last moment. I graduated recently from...

The Power of an Everything Shower

Good day my love bugs. One surprisingly effective strategy for managing emotional burnout and executive dysfunction is incorporating rituals that offer both structure and sensory relief , like the trending "Everything Shower." This isn’t your quick rinse-and-go kind of shower. It’s a full, intentional self-care experience where you take time to exfoliate, deep-condition your hair, shave, cleanse, and moisturize — essentially doing everything in one extended, uninterrupted session. For women who feel scattered or overstimulated, the Everything Shower can be a grounding ritual that restores a sense of control and calm, even when the rest of life feels chaotic. More than just hygiene, the Everything Shower is about reclaiming your body and time. It provides a rare pause from emotional caregiving and the pressures of constant productivity. The repetition of nurturing steps of scrubbing, rinsing, soothing, becomes meditative and because it has a clear beginning,...
