We lost a giant this week. The loss of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and the other passengers was a trauma that we collectively experienced. Many of us did not know him personally, however we felt as though we did because of the impact that he made on our lives.
Sometimes we just need a break. We need to step away, perhaps even go outside, and give ourselves permission to simply BE. This week I had the honor of connecting with a young woman who has learned through her own mental health journey about how powerful a break truly can be.
Today I wanted to speak about self gratitude and why we should say “thank you” to ourselves. Now when you first hear that, you may be thinking that it sounds self-centered or egotistical to thank yourself.
