Leticia Rae, Inspirational Stories

If you follow me on facebook and instagram, you might have noticed that I mentioned having surgery. I didn’t elaborate or give any details. I didn’t mean to be vague but maybe I did. I share some of my life on social media, but I don’t give too many details. I have had a few people reach out and ask me about it and I have no problem sharing my stories when asked. I think that by sharing our stories, we can be of service to others because our stories can be a source of encouragement, validation and comfort (among other things) to others.

Quotes, Leticia Rae

I know you probably hear this a lot, but it’s true… life really IS short. We have no idea what the future holds: when our last breath will be, when we will lose someone, if something will happen that changes our lives completely…etc.

You are Enough

You are Enough

Leticia Rae, Quotes

Believing that we are good enough does not mean we don't want to improve ourselves and grow. It means we know that no matter where we are in our growth, we are satisfied in knowing that we have done our best, and because that is all we can do, it's enough and we are enough.

Grateful for the Memories

Grateful for the Memories

When memories of past friends and family come up, be grateful for them. Try not to think of the negative aspects of them or the situation surrounding your relationship. Just think about the good times. We’ve already learned from the negative aspects. It’s time to let them go.

Understanding Anger

Understanding Anger

Quotes, Leticia Rae

I am a strong believer in feeling feelings. If we don’t feel our feelings, we bury them and they bloom as resentment and bitterness and can also turn into destructive behaviors, ruining relationships with others and ourselves.

Putting Words to Feelings

Putting Words to Feelings

Leticia Rae
Leticia Rae, Quotes

Putting words to feelings actually makes the feelings feel less intense. It feels validating when we put words to our feelings. This has been helpful to me because as I am searching for a support group that could help me feel supported and validated, I realize, while it is still beneficial to talk to others, simply (or not so simply) putting words to your feelings is a great way to get that validation on your own.

Don't give up - Keep Going

Don't give up - Keep Going

Quotes, Leticia Rae

I know some days it seems like you’re spinning your wheels and you can see no real end in sight. But when you look back on your journey and you look at what you have accomplished so far, remember that it took all those steps and accomplishments to get you where you are today.

Trauma Invalidation

Trauma Invalidation

Not being heard, seen, validated can weigh severely on someone. It can bring up feelings of unworthiness and being unloved and not liked…rejected. It can feel you are being further isolated than you were before you tried to share. It can be devastating. It’s okay to feel all that. It doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. It hurts to feel, but it’s necessary and you aren’t any less “spiritual” or “together” or “strong” because you allow the negative feelings. Feeling is how we get through it.

I love to read. I love listening to audiobooks. I love improving myself and becoming a better, more confident and competent human being and mother. It doesn’t solve all of my problems, but it does give me a little relief and helps me deal with things in a better way. Here are some quotes about reading that really touched me or amused me.

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in our busy schedules, but our bodies will let us know when we need to slow down. We can either add some balance to our days, or forced to stop by sickness and exhaustion. In addition to the videos, I hope you enjoy these quotes about yoga:

Leticia Rae, Quotes

Sometimes we need to get knocked down so that we can build ourselves up better than we were before. Sometimes we need harder days so we can realize our previous days weren’t so bad. Sometimes we need to get sick in order to appreciate being healthy. Just some thoughts of mine when I was sick and enjoy some quotes about being sick as well.
