This 👆 is spot on!

If someone pisses you off, it's not them it's you. They just triggered that trauma that happened to you in the past that you didn't deal with. Like the man said; "It's not easy to call yourself out on your own shit." It takes brutal honesty, perseverance and a lot of patience with yourself. But it's worth it! 🤔

Everyone please remember that when you actively choose absence over the presence of negative things you are making space in your life for better things that you actually deserve

Become Your Best Version Before 2025 - Day 19

Self-Care Rituals That Actually Stick

Let's talk about self-care, but not the Instagram version with fancy bath bombs and expensive face masks (though those can be nice too!). We're talking about real, down-to-earth self-care that fits into your actual life, with all its messy, busy, and beautiful moments.

We often think of self-care as this big, time-consuming thing we'll get to "someday." But here's the truth: real self-care is in the small choices we make every day. It's in those tiny moments when we choose ourselves, even if it's just for a minute or two. And today, we're going to explore how to build these little acts of self-care into your daily life in a way that actually sticks.

Self-care isn't about perfection, it's about:

What actually works for YOU

What you can do consistently

What makes you feel genuinely good

What fits into your real life

What you can afford and maintain

Morning Routine

Start small with these simple morning choices:

Drink water before checking your phone

Take three deep breaths before getting up

Stretch for just one minute

Name three things you're looking forward to

Open a window for fresh air

Quick Breaks

For when you need a reset:

Step outside for 2 minutes

Roll your shoulders and neck

Drink a glass of water

Take five deep breaths

Listen to one favorite song

Evening Routine

Create a gentle evening routine:

Put your phone away 30 minutes before bed

Tidy one small space

Write down tomorrow's main tasks

Do some light stretching

Take a moment to reflect

Emotional Check-Ins

Regular ways to process feelings:

Journal for 5 minutes

Talk to a friend

Notice your mood without judgment

Listen to music that matches your feelings

Give yourself permission to feel

Taking Care of Your Body

Simple ways to care for your body:

Stay hydrated

Move in ways that feel good

Get outside daily

Rest when tired

Honor your hunger

Mental Health

Quick ways to clear your mind:

Do a brain dump on paper

Take a social media break

Say no to one thing

Ask for help when needed

Give yourself quiet time

Creating Your Self-Care Ritual Menu

Have options ready for different situations:

When you have 2 minutes

When you're feeling overwhelmed

When you need energy

When you need calm

When you're feeling stuck

Making it Last

Tips for building lasting habits:

Start tiny (like really tiny)

Keep supplies easily accessible

Don't expect perfection

Adjust when needed

Attach your new self-care habit to something you already do every day. Like:

Do a quick face massage while washing your face

Take three deep breaths while waiting for your coffee to brew

Stretch for a minute while your phone charges

Use your favorite hand cream after washing dishes

Your mission for today:

Pick ONE tiny self-care action

Attach it to something you already do daily

Try it for just this one day

The best self-care rituals are the ones that actually fit into your real life. They don't need to be fancy or time-consuming, they just need to feel good and be doable!

And remember how we talked about boundaries yesterday? Use them to protect your self-care time! Even if it's just five minutes, that time is yours to recharge and take care of yourself.

What's one small self-care ritual that works for you? Or what's one you'd like to try? Let's share ideas!

See you tomorrow for Day 20!

💜

you did...

...your best today.

even if it was the bare minimum, it was probably the best that you could have done today. and that's okay.

maybe tomorrow, you can do a bit more. or not. however much it is, do it well.

your best doesn't always have to be 'the absolute best'. go easy on yourself ✨

The black sheep of the family: rejection is a redirection.

“The black sheep has the courage to be true to itself, even when it is not popular.”

Self-knowledge has made me realize that I am not the person my parents, who get angry when I don’t obey them, believe I am simply because I don’t bow to their expectations. Giving birth and wanting a daughter who would be obedient was not something I came into this world to do. To be who I am, I must fight hard against the oppression of “who my parents wanted me to be.” The combined force of the family nucleus in oppressing you because you respect your authenticity makes you lonely and incomprehensible, which is why this black sheep label is not for everyone. These are chosen people who have a great power to bring about change, even if it causes great discomfort to those who have been thinking the same thing for generations. We have karmic baggage that our ancestors left us so that we can resolve it in this life. They didn’t leave it to your brother/sister, cousin, aunt… they left it to you, because they know how strong and capable we are of fixing something that should have been fixed already. We may think that we are alone in this situation and that no one is capable of understanding us, but believe that there are ancestral and divine forces giving you support and protection in these times. If they want you to resolve it, then they are the ones who will support you in it.

The black sheep is nothing more than that person who was born with their own eyes to see the depths of the problem and openly tell everyone, causing discomfort, fury, revolts and aggression. That was hidden for a reason, to protect their “truth” above all else. When this “truth” is questioned or shaken, fear reacts. These are problems, defects and hidden things that no one talks about anymore. The black sheep comes from strict and controlling parents with an obedient brother/sister with a touch of favoritism. They are so naturally authentic that they are threatening. They say what they think from a young age and are not trying to please anyone. I am not referring to the rebellious teenagers who leave home, get piercings, drink and other extrapolarities. I am referring to those people who question everything, causing discomfort in the controlling spirit of their family. Those who know that deep down, they are not doing anything wrong, they just have the courage to do things differently. Those who have the audacity to do/say something that no one expected to come out of their mouth, something that causes such indignation that they immediately accuse you of being wrong. Black sheep are not well listened to or understood, they were born in a circle where understanding is lacking and so they become rebels.

Dealing with this mark is not easy, because we have no support nor the tolerance to accept something that no longer serves us. Parents see us as a problem and that we must be fixed, that is, we must fix ourselves to be like them. Is this a solution? Our parents were once children, and I know that they wanted to be different from their parents, but for that to happen, internal and arduous work needs to be done and when that fails, they repeat what our grandparents did to them. I realized that in my acts of manifesting the black sheep, I am my younger mother, when she was the daughter, asking her to reconsider what she is doing and teaching her daughter so that she understands herself in a deeper way, and thus can understand me. Because a black sheep is a karmic baggage from past lives of something that was rejected (including from their parents) so that they can resolve, through you, something that they left behind, whether because they were prevented, got lost, surrendered… We are a mirror that many refuse to see, because we show the raw and naked reality. In some cases, our parents may even feel what we say but prefer to eradicate it, in the same way that they did. The black sheep breaks this, it breaks this imposition so that it seeks prosperity in its life.

I had to seek support from myself about the burden of being labeled as the black sheep. As an adult, I realized that if I don't know how to show my family the truth about things as they truly are, I fall into a state of rage to the point of having horrible thoughts against them. I know that I have a high power of understanding and therefore I have the ability to provide solutions and visions that no one else can say. I know this because I am constantly studying and realizing myself. I can have problems mainly in attending to the emotional side of those who are emotional and that is when I become inflexible (I have nothing in a water sign and my entire family has moons in water signs), but it is also undeniable that I feel that the conversation sometimes only wants to serve one side, so that things remain the same. I realized that they are afraid of change. I realized that someone in the conversation must be wrong, and this wrong person is obviously the black sheep. I am no longer surprised by this subtly controlling and manipulative attitude, but I get irritated and upset, I get tired and withdraw. I do not give up, but there comes a time when it is no longer worth talking, because it seems that they have all the power and if they do not, it is because it is three against one.

The black sheep is a natural healer, it is no wonder that we are born with this mark. But to heal on a spiritual level, we need to cause “chaos” and no one is receptive to that. I come from a Saturnian family and they fear chaos. The black sheep is the gateway to transformation in their family, but it is not always well seen. If it is for a beneficial and consented transformation, then it is fine, they accept it. But if it is a more overwhelming transformation, they feel threatened and prefer to contain you before you reach a point where you should not. The transformation that the black sheep offers is a whole package, not a part. They do not come to transform what our parents want, we come to transform everything. It is a big karma and it becomes tiring when we are seen as the problem.

I ask the Universe and my ancestors for support, since the familiar may seem a little difficult. I ask that I continue to follow my authenticity, but that it always redirects me when I seem lost. If you are the black sheep and feel alone, I hope this text finds you and comforts you. Know that we are not the terror nor are we the most wrong beings in the universe. We are blessed to see the world with our own eyes, we have the courage to go against the thoughts and behaviors that do not fit our identity. What seems to be a rejection of our family, in fact we are what they did not have the courage to be. Subconsciously, they have such admiration for you that it seems wrong to feel that way.
