Finally, be kind to yourself and have a good support system.

I have a skill set that often helps me get through hurtful moments or experiences. However, sometimes when the pain cuts really deep, my normal go-to exercises just won't work.

Reminding myself of all that I have to be thankful for really helps ground me and keeps me from tipping over into that negative place.

I actually have a lot of guilty pleasures.

I'm inspired by it all - the good and the not so good - because every experience is an opportunity for me to learn, grow, and become the best version of myself.

Be kind to yourself and to others. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. I was told that every day of my childhood.

No matter what, I find that surrendering is essential.
