Sharing my favorite breakfast
|
Hi friend, I'm keeping the more personal sharing rolling this week! I wanted to share one of my favorite breakfasts with you. Growing up, my mom would consistently make me and my brother gallo pinto with a fried egg for breakfast. Child, it really is one of my favorite breakfasts. 😂 Some meals just feel like home, no matter how simple they are. The foods we ate in our childhood carry core memories of where we come from. They connect you to your culture and to the version of yourself that existed before you had to figure out who you were supposed to be. I think we sometimes underestimate how important that is. Try going back to the foods you grew up eating, the music your family of origin played, the language you heard as a child, the traditions that made you feel connected to your culture. This kind of remembering can be a comfort. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else. It just has to make you feel like YOU. Now excuse me while I go make some more gallo pinto. Coach Jose 💛

I know I need to start paying attention what's actually going to help my fear and anxiety. It own't be an outside force... even though community is great and super important. This kind of peace has to come from inside. I'm going...
Hi friend, I wanted to remind you of something this week: You’re allowed to enjoy the good stuff. Even if you’re worried it won’t last. When the world feels heavy, and when you’ve gotten used to things going wrong, it can be surprisingly hard to enjoy it when things are going right. Maybe you finally feel good after a difficult stretch. Maybe something worked out the way you hoped. Maybe you’re having one of those rare days when you feel lighter, happier, or more at peace. But maybe you also...
Hi friend, Cancelling plans one time doesn't automatically make you a bad friend. If your brain is telling you the oposite, that's called black and white thinking, and it's something you can work on!Also, if you're constantly canceling on people, that’s something to pay attention to as well. But one moment? One decision?Don't turn that into a whole story about who you are! Tell your brain to quiet down. Remind it that you can look at your behavior without judging yourself for it. Have a great...
