There is an indescribable peace WHEN I remind myself: . 💁🏾‍♀️ I am only in competition with myself. . 💁🏾‍♀️ Even when things go crazy, if I trust God, He has a way of escape. . 💁🏾‍♀️ No way weapon formed against me shall prosper. . 💁🏾‍♀️ The way people respond to me is a reflection of what’s going inside of them. . 💁🏾‍♀️ Focus on and seek to have impact, not just likes or retweets or mentions. I have had the opportunity to ponder life, success, and future goals in the past few weeks. From one medical procedure to still waiting on DNA to confirm if the body police found is my cousin to learning I have to have another medical procedure next week to Jon & I preparing for one of the biggest decisions we’ll make together. It has been a month. I share these learnings because I definitely experience #anxiety when I stray away from these truths. . I share these truths because I have experienced a peace and happiness in moments WHEN I follow these truths that is indescribable. I am still pondering and putting these truths into consistent practice, yet enjoying being in MY lane. I am focused on purpose and impact. More thoughts coming soon on my #blog. #QOTD: Why do you what you do? Every move, reaction, conversation, purchase, etc - why? #LifewithChelsi #LifestyleBlogger #MentalHealth #MentalWealth #Purpose #WomenEmpowerment #Peace #Faith
‼️MY STRUGGLE: Accepting that to be my very best, I need REST - physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and intellectually. This afternoon, it’s me, myself, and I. I am intentionally taking time to rest and relax. I am intentionally taking time to recharge and regroup. I am freely taking time to do whatever I want without any guilt about the items on my to-do list. When was the last time you took time for you? YOU deserve to be well! Cheers 🥂 to #Rest and #MentalWealth! #MentalHealthDay #LifewithChelsi #LifestyleBlogger #HealthyMe #SelfCare #Relaxation #SelfLove #WomenEmpowerment
Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. For years, I struggled with not knowing and fully understanding the importance of #MentalWealth. From anxiety to depression to mood disorders to PTSD to substance abuse to eating disorders to ADHD, mental illness is around us. Stigmas around mental illness, therapy, and medication are real. But, they are also harmful to your #mentalhealth. 1 in 5 adults in America experience mental illness. Serious mental illnesses cost America $193 billion in lost income. 90% of those who die by suicide have an underlying #mentalillness. Thank you @msquarles, @lashawandamoore, and @quelinaj for sharing your #MentalHealth journey with the #ChatwithChelsi community. From depression to suicide attempts to anxiety-induced hospitalizations, we talk mental health with realness and openness. Every Sunday in October, these 3 incredible women share a different aspect of their journey. Join the conversation on my YT channel. Part 2 airs Sunday at 4PM. Let’s all be aware of our mental health status and seek the help we need to have #MentalWealth. This weekend, I will be blogging about my mental health. Be sure you’re subscribed to my newsletter at LifewithChelsi.com. #LifewithChelsi #LWCFoundation #MentalHealthAwareness #Anxiety #Depression #Suicide #MentalDisorder
Whew... I woke up this morning around 2:30AM. I was wide awake. And, my mind was racing with thoughts, questions, tasks, and concerns... I couldn’t sleep! I ran to ONE of the tools in my #MentalHealth toolkit - #meditation. Honestly, it can be so challenging because my mind wants to think and do. But, meditation centers me around God’s love and truth. Meditation causes me to slow down and regroup. On my #blog, I share 7 #Bible Verses I Meditate on When #Anxiety Hits. I actually used them in the last few hours. And, I end with prayer for you. . I will blogging about more of my mental health journey throughout October. . Join the #ChatswithChelsi #MentalHealthAwareness discussion by watching Part 1 of our panel series on my YT channel (link in bio). . You are not alone! Anxiety is real. Anxiety can be managed - let’s build up your toolkit! #LifewithChelsi #LifestyleBlogger #AnxietyRelief #AnxietyAttack #WorldMentalHealthDay
On this week’s #ChatswithChelsi, we are discussing ALL things #MentalHealth! 🧠 @msquarles, @lashawandamoore, and @quelinaj share their journeys on the 1st ever CWC panel. 🧠 TOO many people live in silence, fear, and torment. It is time for that to END. 🧠 Truth will set you free. Having a mental illness isn’t the end, yet accepting and treating it is the beginning of a fulfilling and thriving life. 🧠 We talk about the mental health stigmas, attempted suicide attempts, affects on relationships, medication, when to seek professional help, tools for survival, and much more. 🧠 Join us for the conversation at LifewithChelsi.com - every Sunday there will new CWC episodes, blogs sharing my journey, and resources for those struggling with a mental illness. #LifewithChelsi #Mentalillness #MentalHealthAwareness #WorldMentalHealthDay
One of the questions I am often asked when I talked about the #MothertobeCelebration is, “Do you have any kids?” 🤱🏾 The answer is no (or not yet). 🤱🏾 Then, it’s followed by a comment like, “Wow, this is so nice of you to do this...” 🤱🏾 Sometimes we put ourselves in a box. We limit our impact because of how we try and rationalize what God has told us to do. We feel we have to know everything about the purpose God has given us. 🤱🏾 We do NOT. 🤱🏾 I am the child of two teenage parents. I am the child of parent who was incarcerated. I am the child of a teenage, single mom. I am the child... I know my experiences as the child. And, they are more than enough to fulfill what God placed on my heart. My experiences are enough to plan and execute an annual #BabyShower to honor moms who find themselves in difficult situations. 🤱🏾 On this #SundayMorning, I challenge you to follow #purpose. I challenge you to accept you do not have to know it all or have experienced it all to be used by God. I challenge you to do ‘it.’ If He called you to it, He will guide you through it. 🤱🏾 Let’s make impact this week through our obedience. 📸: @randolphfocus #LifewithChelsi #LWCFoundation #Newborn
The 2nd Annual #MothertobeCelebration 🤱🏾🤰🏽was possible last Saturday because of Xochitl. Two of our moms did not speak English fluently. And, I am NOT fluent in Spanish. Xochitl stepped in the gap and was our event translator📝. . I was reminded that the execution of a vision requires talents, skills, and expertise of new and old friends. Sometimes accepting help is not easy for me, yet she reminded me of the power in accepting help. Thank you, Xochitl for volunteering with the @lwc_foundation and ensuring all the moms had a fabulous time. 👚: LWC Boutique (link in bio) #LWCFoundation #LifewithChelsi #LifestyleBlogger #BabyShower #Translator #SpanishSpeakers
