WHAT IF EVERYONE IS JUST DOING THEIR BEST?⁣ ⁣

WHAT IF EVERYONE IS JUST DOING THEIR BEST?⁣ ⁣ I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. As navigating social media becomes less and less rewarding and more and more emotionally depleting, I find myself asking “what if everyone is just doing the best that they can, or the best they know how?” Let’s assume for a moment that they are... ⁣ ⁣ This assumption allows for more grace.⁣ It allows for more understanding and connection. After all, isn’t that what we are all truly after in this “like, click, comment,” culture that we live in? ⁣ ⁣ However, giving that extra grace also requires a lot of patience, paired with a healthy dose of boundaries. Grace + Patience + Healthy Boundaries = a recipe for accepting yourself and others as they are. What if instead of assuming the worst about other people, we practice assuming that they have good intentions and are doing their best? ⁣ ⁣ Some interactions will inevitably lead to a teachable moment - an opportunity to show someone else that while they may be well-intentioned and mean no harm, their actions aren’t lining up. It’s our responsibility to teach other people how to treat us by establishing clear and concise boundaries of what we will and will not accept for ourselves. ⁣ ⁣ Other interactions may make it necessary to guard your time and energy to avoid giving away too much of yourself. But by accepting that people are doing their best, it makes it easier to see the difference between self-preservation and being closed off, cold, and unkind. ⁣ ⁣ I’ve made it my mission to be bold, but kind, resolute, but flexible, and to give myself and others more grace. After all, I’m just doing the best that I can.

WHAT’S IN MY BAG? ⁣ ⁣ At any given moment, i

WHAT’S IN MY BAG? ⁣ ⁣ At any given moment, if you were to ask me to spill the contents of my purse, these are some of the things you would find. ⁣ ⁣ Multiple lip glosses, collapsible straw, phone charger, headphones, sunglasses, essential oils, inhaler (super glamorous), digestive enzymes, mini salt shaker, water bottle, lozenges, keys, pens, hair ties, mattifying powder, water bottle and SNACKS. Always, always, SNACKS!⁣ ⁣ I always keep snacks like @chomps in my purse because I can get a little hangry when I am out and about and go too long between meals. The best thing about keeping a stash of Chomps in my purse and in my glove box is that I don’t have to worry about them going bad or needing to be refrigerated. They are just always there when I need them in a pinch. We take them with us when we travel too. Best of all, they are an awesome source of protein with 9-10 grams in each stick and have no added sugar, and nothing artificial. They are even Whole30 approved. ⁣ ⁣ I buy mine on Amazon, but you can also get them at Trader Joes, Meijer, Walmart and on their website at chomps.com. Get 20% off your next order from their website with my code KYNDRA20⁣ ⁣ If you were to spill out your purse or bag right now, what would we find?⁣ ⁣ #chompspartner #chomps #meatsticks #keto #paleo #whole30 #dairyfreeketo #eatrealfood #whole30approved #sugarfree #nongmo #glutenfree #snacks #whatsinmypurse
