Hi everyone! It’s Sarah Shields, a volunteer counselor at INtegRIty Counseling. I’ve taken over INtegRIty’s Instagram account for the month of February, or as I like to say “Feel Good February”! Each day I’ll post a “feel good” quote and talk a little about integrating some skills in your life in order to work towards positive progress in your mental health.
Like the quote says, progress and not perfection, is the goal. No one is perfect and no one ever will be. This is an unrealistic expectation that many of us hold ourselves to. When having a tough day, remind yourself of at least one positive thing that has happened to you or that you accomplished today. It can be just one! It doesn’t have to be “big” or “glamorous”-it can be getting out of bed that day. (Not always an easy task!) That is progress, my friends. Please leave some of your progress, long term or short, in the comments! Let’s support one another and recognize each other’s small (maybe even tiny) but incredibly important steps in a positive direction. #feelgoodfebruary #day1of28

What’s a chicken momma to do when she has another broody? Why, give her duck eggs, of course. This should be interesting! #langfordranch #chickenlady #chickensofinstagram #day1of28

Swipe left 👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼 I want to thank @fitgirl_journey15 for this amazing gift. It literally helped me get my workout in today. I drove 6 1/2 hrs from Arizona to Cali, arriving at about 4:30pm today. I opened my happy mail and it just made me want to get up and work out. Along with that I got my #bestmode hat from @coco_unapologetic_n_raw. Both things gave me the boost I needed today. Workout 1/28 in the books. I start my 14 week training this week so it’s time to leave any excuse behind. #bestmode #rosiestrong #friendshipsonsocialmedia #day1of28 #day1ofmy14weektraining #futurehalfmarathonrunner #icandothis #mzrelentless365 #noexcuses #onederlandhereicome #motivationalmondays
#ayearofyoga2018 #day1of28 #day2of28 #day3of28 #day4of28 #lettheweheelsturn with @cyogalab #yogagirl #anusarayoga So – ich mache dieses Mal bei der Challenge von @cyogalab mit. Es sind anspruchsvolle Posen dabei und nachdem ich ein paar Wochen beobachtet habe wie alle Yogis und Yoginis der Welt die unterschiedlichsten Variationen gezeigt haben, möchte ich meinen Fortschritt auch dokumentieren. Ich bin gespannt! Ich habe die ersten vier Tage nach einem kurzen Aufwärmprogramm miteinander kombiniert. 1) Als erstes war #chakrasana dran. Das Rad. Das ist wegen meiner Rückenverletzung eine besondere Herausforderung für mich. Wer schon mal einen Bandscheibenvorfall im LWS-Bereich hatte, weiß vermutlich wovon ich rede. Ich muss noch mehr Vertrauen in meinen Rücken bekommen und wenn ich meinen Rücken nicht lang halte und nicht das Herz öffne sondern die Rundung aus dem Ledenbereich kommt, rächt sich das sofort in Form von Schmerzen. Insofern: meine vorsichtige Variante von dem Rad. Ich weiß – noch ausbaufähig – aber das wird schon 😊 2) Als nächstes habe ich mir #anjaneyasana vorgenommen. Den #lowlunge mag ich gerne. Genau wie bei #alasana ist es für mich eine Herausforderung immer das Steißbein nach innen bzw. zum Boden zu ziehen und die unteren Rippen nach innen. Ich muss sehr auf meinen unteren Rücken aufpassen und immer wieder den Rücken aktiv füllen. Wenn ich gut aufgewärmt bin mag ich diesen Herzöffner sehr gerne. Meine vordere Oberschenkelmuskulatur ist gut gedehnt, nur die Hüften müssten noch etwas aufgehen. 3) Danach habe ich eine liegende Variante von #gomukhasana praktiziert. Das Kuhgesicht mag ich sehr gerne. Meine Hüftaußenseiten benötigen noch etwas Aufmerksamkeit – insofern gehört diese Asana zu meiner regelmäßigen Praxis. Die Zehen gespreizt und die Füße aktiv und gerade zu halten und vor allem nicht zu sicheln ist eine Herausforderung. Ich hoffe bald komme ich mit beiden Schultern auf den Boden – noch bin ich noch nicht so weit. 4) Die letzte Pose war eine Variante von #padangusthasana . Hier im Stehen als #utthitahastapadangustasana . Diese Pose mag ich sehr gerne. Der Körper aufgerichtet zu lassen und nicht auszuweichen ist für mich immer noch

Just beyond this driveway is a latticed gate to the magical world of #thewriterscottage Some days are sleepily wonderful, other entire seasons pass in a fury. But what a wonderful five years it has been. It’s where I earned my MFA, at a desk overlooking a view of hummingbirds sipping nectar from flowering vines. It’s where we tried and failed IVF, where I wrote draft one of a memoir, stumbling over bleary-eyed sentences, and raged through grief until I was hoarse, then finally welcomed what better stories await. Five years, 1 month and 28 Days of marital healing that begs to be shared. So here’s to Day 1 of 28, a #latergram #day1of28 #whilewewerewaiting #thewriterscottage #iheartlosfeliz

As the first day of February draws to a close, I want a give a HUGE congratulatory shout out to all those who were able to join the #PurePrayer conference call this morning!

Hello February #BlackHistory #Day1of28 #MyBdaymonth what's not to love about February? 🤗💗💞
Happy 28 Days of Cosplay!!!!! Let's hope I can make it all the days lol Day 1: The trials and tests of contact lenses! So I ordered some really cheap lenses from Wish to mainly practice with since I was putting in lenses for the first time. It took me about an hour for the first eye and only 5-10 minutes for the other once I knew what I was doing. They didn't turn out bright enough in dim lighting so now I know I have to have daylight on my side in order to see the colors lol. Then I put on Sailor Moon since they're supposed to be blue, and she turned out well! I just hope it's better in flash pictures. See you guys tomorrow! #28daysofcosplay #sailormoon #sailormooncosplay #day1of28 #cosplay #cosplaytest #contacttest #poccosplayer #poccosplay #blerd #blacknerd #contacts #contactlenses #28daysofblackcosplay
