I never thought I would become a blogger . . . 👩🏾‍💻⠀
⁠⠀
. . . but ever since I could remember, I've always been a helper. From babysitting as soon as I was old enough, to volunteering on the weekends with my mom, to eventually becoming a licensed social worker, I believe my purpose is rooted in helping others.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
So over a year ago, I made the decision to dive (head first) into creating a new way for folks to receive the help that they need. ⠀
⠀
Gmichelle Self Care Resources is a space for you to explore, learn and begin practicing self-care on your own terms.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
This online platform went from a couple of blogs to a wellness-resource website, loaded with all things self-care, self-love and healthy relationships.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It is my pleasure to not only offer this space for you, but to stay committed to my own purpose through gmichelle.com. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me!⠀

Michelle here, taking full advantage of⠀
the sun making a special appearance this week! ☀️⠀
⠀
Taking care of yourself during the winter is of the upmost importance — with longer, darker days, cold weather and the pressure some of us feel during the holiday season, you may notice yourself feeling more down, more stressed and less energetic.⠀
⠀
Here are a few self-care ideas that can help with the winter blues:⠀
⠀
• Soak up some sunshine or try some “light therapy” by buying a lamp designed to help with seasonal affective disorder. 🌤⠀
⠀
• Make plans and schedule time to be with the people you love the most. 👥⠀
⠀
• Warm yourself up by dressing in layers, using a space heater or wrapping yourself up in a weighted blanket. 🛌⠀
⠀
• Gift yourself something special for the holidays — get a massage, enjoy a special meal or order yourself something off of your wishlist. 🛍⠀
⠀
What helps you get through the winter blues?⠀

Them: Michelle, does Black Superwoman Syndrome really exist?

Me: 👆🏾
.
.
.

There is absolutely, positively a narrative that black women should and are expected to be more than human. And we need to talk about it.

It was my true pleasure to be interviewed by @dialosophy to discuss: • What is the Black Superwoman narrative? • Why this narrative is problematic for black women to be able to practice self-care. • Self-care ideas, strategies and tools specifically designed for black women.

My favorite home decor? Pictures. 📸⠀
⠀
Finally finding time to print and display the photos from our wedding. I’m spending my #selfcaresunday admiring, remembering and sprinkling these memories all around our home. There is something so invaluable about decorating your home with the special moments from your life.⠀
⠀
How are you spending your Sunday? How do you like to make your home feel like home? 🏡 📸: @sarnew35

I buy myself books and rose oils as presents.
.
I love the art of telling stories through movies.⠀
.
I am only competitive when it comes to trivia games.⠀
.
I could eat breakfast food for every meal.⠀

I’m a Taurus to the core — loyal, stubborn and a fan of all things comfort.⠀
————⠀
Who are you, outside of your job? Outside of what you do and the roles you serve? ⠀
⠀
Faith Joyner of the @forloveonlypodcast posed these questions to us at the @jazmineduke Sisterhood Brunch and I’ve been thinking about them ever since.⠀
⠀
Many of us hold our identity in our roles — but is your role who you are? If your job, your position or your employment disappeared, who would you be?⠀
⠀
The fact is, we are more than what we do. And our identity, our value, and our worthiness does not have to be tied to our accomplishments and our successes. ⠀
⠀
So tell me: who are you, outside of your job title?⠀

Ever reacted to someone and wished you could take it back? ✋🏾⠀
.⠀
Many of us have, and many of us want to be more mindful of how we (re)act when we feel something strongly.⠀
.⠀
On gmichelle.com, we are taking a closer look into the differences between reacting and responding and why knowing this is beneficial to our relationships AND our self-care. The link in the @thegmichelle bio will take you there!⠀
.⠀
What do you think the difference is between reacting and responding? 🤔

I heard it today was National Author’s Day! 💕

So here I am, big smile and all, standing with my published collection of guided journaling prompts, encouraging you to take a really, really deep breath, let it all the way out, and take a first step towards fulfilling your dream.

In 2018, I remember scribbling my thoughts and ideas into a notebook. Each page was filled with writing topics, that eventually became the journal that is Self Explore, Self Restore. And y’all, I couldn’t be prouder.

So start that project. Write down your ideas. Make that call. Begin your journey. You’ll never know how proud of yourself you can be if you don’t start somewhere. 💗

When you’ve been minding your business, deep conditioning and loving on yourself like you deserve it.🍃 #HappyFriday

Instagram post 2151086469798738467_7939597766

Yup, I said it. 💡⠀
⠀
As hard-working, busy and as caring as you are, there’s a good chance that many people depend on you, rely on you and count on you to get things done. Am I right?⠀
⠀
That means that your self-care, your energy and your time are incredibly precious — so give yourself permission to NOT be available to EVERYone ALL of the time. ⠀⠀
⠀
To learn more about this type of self-care, check out one of our latest blogs “4 Ways to Reclaim Your Time” by clicking the link in the @thegmichelle bio.✨
