Are your old mental rules holding you back?
|
Hi friend, Throughout our lives, we create what I like to call “mental rules." These are guidelines for how we should react, how we should think, and even how we should be. These rules start forming before our brains are fully developed, which is totally normal. The challenge comes when we hold onto them too rigidly. Suddenly, these rules that were meant to guide us start limiting us instead. In this space, I want to help you update those old rules—letting go of what no longer serves you and discovering new, productive, and healthy ways forward. ✨ Pause. Notice the rules you’re holding onto. ✨ Ask yourself: “Does this still serve me today?” ✨ Start leaving behind the ones that don’t. Your growth is possible, and it starts with awareness. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss more tips for updating your mindset and creating the life you want. With care, Jose 💛

I was the one struggling with their emotions. I’ve had to learn to sit with this kind of tension, and I wanted to share this because I think a lot of you are also learning this lesson...
Hi friend, If there’s one thing we can always count on, it’s change. It’s the one constant we all share. Yet, it’s the thing we often resist the most. And honestly? That resistance is exhausting. 😩 But here’s the truth: change is going to show up whether we invite it or not. So instead of bracing against it, what if this week you met change head-on? Think about everything you’ve already navigated. You've probably endured new jobs, moves, shifting friendships, relationships beginning and...
Hi friend, I don’t know about you, but I grew up believing that being an “understanding” person meant keeping my own feelings quiet so everyone else could stay comfortable. 🙊 Sound familiar? The thing is… feelings don’t disappear. They build. They bubble. And eventually, they spill over—usually in ways we don’t feel proud of. 🌋 Here’s the reframe I want to offer you this week: Naming your feelings isn’t selfish. It’s caring. It’s caring for you—your nervous system, your needs, your...
