when we discover our needs, we discover who we are

Today, I am grateful for the way my subconscious mind communicates through my dreams.

I am learning how old people-pleasing behaviors have and continue to color my interactions with others, and how to break free from this trauma pattern with self-awareness, patience, and grace. 

I accomplished dedicating time to reflect on what I needed from a situation and asking for help when I was able to articulate the need. 

I delighted in a long walk with the Poebear, in receiving accolades from my mentor, in responding with ease and acceptance to a situation that in the past would have caused me panic, and in a gentle afternoon yoga practice.
