You made me rewind this video! When you said, "...being clear, disciplined, and principled about what serves me..." I had to stop and rewind. That's powerful stuff, sis!
People talk about the stress of failure, but, Lord, why don't we talk more about the stress of success? Thank you for doing just that. Thank you for sharing.
Love this and thank you for sharing❤. (1) I’ve started being more kind to myself - stop treating other people better than I treat myself. (2) Forgive myself (3) pay more attention to my time and be ON time. It’s precious. (4) stop revisiting the past. I don’t live there any more. (5) avoid negative energy and people.❤
I strongly suggest adult coloring as a therapeutic hobby. My Dad suggested I try coloring to help me through my caregiver journey with my Mom. It was extremely helpful. When coloring, we tend to focus on the page, the colors, the creative process. And when we’re focused on the coloring process, our focus shifts away from the realities of life and our mind relaxes and our anxiety dissipates. I even started framing some of me creations and gifting them to friends. My coloring book collection has reached somewhere around 65, and I have amassed several books of coloring pencils. Coloring can get expensive, but I figure I spend money on other thing so why not invest in a hobby that protects my mental health.
Ummm….the way I should have watched this yesterday in preparation for the foolery that this day held!!! I needed a wellness plan for real on today! The good news is that there will be more days like today and I’ll be ready with a plan! Thanks for this!
Sis, your platform is blessing me. My wellness plan consists of daily prayer, meditation, journaling, moments of silence, caring for the little girl within, digital devotional reading, night lights, lighting candles and or my diffuser, listening to music, nature drives, dinner or movie date with myself, or sharing quality time with my husband and or tribe (which now includes your video posts). 🤗 Thank you for being a bright light. I enjoy your energy, charisma, and intellect. Keep shining ✨✨✨✨
TASHIRA! THIS VIDEO is exactly what I needed to hear. I started my RUclips journey 6 months ago and have already gotten burnt out multiple times 😒 I’ll be incorporating these tips in my 2024 strategy. Thank you 💕
I am so Proud of you taking time for you! Your Wellness Plan is an inspiration! I do make spiritual time every morning. Additionally, making time for family and friends on the weekend is great! I say more and more these days to family and friends- Take Care of YOU! Thank you for sharing. Sending PRAYERS for continued healing🙏🏾
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing!!! As a teacher, the fight against burnout is constant and REAL. I recently resolved to stop waiting on friends/family/fiancé availability, and start taking seasonal trips/vacations for myself. I am blessed to work in a job that has distinct seasons; so starting this December I am treating myself to a getaway during Winter Break, Spring Break, and Summer Break. I give A LOT of myself, and as an introvert I want (and NEED) to treat myself to rest and renewal! 😌
This is wonderful! I am a teacher also. Teaching has become so demanding that the joy isn’t there like before. The stress is real! Taking solo trips is a great idea.
I'm glad you are taking care of yourself because you bring so much joy to those of us that follow you. Also, because I work from home I had to find a way to stay active, so earlier this year I incorporated daily walks (I'm up to 3-4 miles/day). This also allowed me to listen to a good spirirual or inspirational podcast to feed my spirit while on my daily walks. I have found that this is an activity that I've been able to incorporate even while traveling. Overall, it has been good for my mental health and keeping off those extra unwanted pounds, too. 😉
Thanks for sharing. I retired over a year ago, turned 65 this past summer. Looking to take better care of myself with baby steps. Took my first solo trip this past August. I have to learn to say "No".💖
I feel so seen in this video. When you said you did a php I almost cried. I finished my php earlier this month. And it was the best thing I could have done for myself. I never knew talking about my feelings in front of strangers could be so helpful. It definitely helped me not feel alone. And not so strange. Thank you thank you thank you for sharing. We ✋🏽need this 💛
Girl the ending work by 7 PM, therapy, working out and reducing travel to twice a month spoke to my soul! Whewwwwww. That travel one is really a kicker. I’ve been going nonstop since late October.
Try jigsaw puzzling as a new hobby. I find it tics most of my boxes. A pretty scene is visually stimulating. I get a sense of accomplishment with every piece that is placed. Oddly it relaxes me. As I study the pieces a part of my brain is totally relaxed. It’s like my analytical brain is focused on the puzzle but my subconscious is sorting out something totally different. It’s so zen. I like it maybe you will also. Thanks for sharing your story. The struggle is real but your strength is too.🥰
Best video. Periodt--Your vulnerability and honesty is what is needed in these innanet streets! It's got me thinking as I ponder 2024...Thank you for being a channel that tries to handle her platform responsibly❣ We see you sis and we appreciate you.❤
I really did enjoy this Tashira. I have been having this conversation with myself for quite some time but so unsure of where to begin. I am aware of the benefits of therapy. I am also aware that I will have to exhume traumas that I have buried over the years. I am terrified of that, just as I am terrified of failure. I too am an overachieving, perfectionist. Life has been chewing me up sis. I definitely need to make a list of my own.
Thanks for sharing. I had to take FMLA this summer, because I was mentally and physically tired. I went back with a new attitude, but I already find myself back to old habits such as working late hours and going in on weekends just to keep up. I really needed this reminder.
One of the things I started up again is playing golf. It is the one thing I do where I have to be 100% in the moment. I can't think about work, family, etc. I have to think about hitting that little white ball. Sometimes I go alone, sometimes with a group. Either way, it is dedicated disconnecting time. Now, when it gets cold...I have to figure something else out. 😊
I too suffer from anxiety and it can be crippling… I pray for your peace.. I was talking to husband about doing no work on Sunday to recharge for the week and I’m a work in progress.. lol.. but as you get older it will take a toll on your physical so it’s good to see you doing the work early in your life
I got into paper crafting which is like a stress reliever wind down of the week. I make greeting cards for people and scrapbook. You can scrapbook your trips. I also create a memory/faith planner which I decorate each week with stickers,encouraging phrases, etc. I love it and at 65, it keeps my brain active😃!
Hi there!! I enjoyed the video. I love your plan!! I try to make it a habit to close my day out with some forn of self-care pampering even if it's as simple as a long hot bubble bath and/or doing my at-home mani/pedis. I just make it my business to refill my own cup in some way for the day. Also, being that I'm single, refilling my own cup away from home looks like getting dressed up and treating myself to a nice dinner and/or doing a solo road trip to explore my favorite areas or new areas just to be around new people, spoil myself, and enjoy my own company. I also make it a part of my lifestyle to be consistently disconnected from social media platforms. RUclips is my absolute favorite. So, it's the only one I allow myself to go ham on daily. It's still a challenge to keep up with the videos posted by my favorites on a daily. However, when it comes to Instagram and Facebook, it's too easy to get caught up with scrolling for hours and hours catching up on what certain family and friends have been up to or are up to. I had to ask myself: are these people taking out time to actually call me and talk to me to really see how I'm doing? Are they genuinely making an effort to reach out to me regularly to stay connected? Am I always the one making an effort to call them to check up on them with the effort not being reciprocated on their end?? After being able answer those questions honestly, I made a decision to not show up on a surface level for them consistently on social media. I've been enjoying my life being a mystery to them ever since😂😂😂😂. Anyways, TFS!!!
Sis, thanks for sharing. You were very honest and candid about your journey. I appreciate you and the information you shared. I felt really out of it for a couple of months and decided I needed a different approach. So, I wrote down what I wanted to do, sought clarity without any "I can't do that" conversations with my inside committee. (You know the staff I did not hire, who live inside my head! Girl, I put them on Leave Without Pay!) I set an agenda and just began to move forward, not sitting in my bubble. We all hit those walls and it so good, when we do the work....move forward, we get to the other side. So proud of you for putting in the work and evolving. Good stuff! Be well.
Wheeewwww chiiiile!!! This vlog! I have been in therapy since June 2022 and while I LOVE my therapist, we have been working for over a year to get me to a place of understanding that this vlog has brought me in 26 minutes!!! The statement you made, "What's harder for me than saying no, is being clear, disciplined, and principled about what serves me. That's the work! I think, if I understood THAT unequivocally, then it would be difficult to get me to operate outside of my highest self." 🤯 Now, of course I still have work to do, but finally having the WORDS to put to a feeling is monumental! Thank you for using your platform to serve!!! 💚💚💚
I was recommended your quiet luxury video yesterday and you were sooo funny, cool, and intellectual in that video I had to subscribe. Now, today I find out you're an Aries like myself. This video today came right on time and right before I was about to start journaling. It's confirmed that I'm in the right place over here.
Tashira, thank you for sharing your Ten Step Wellness Plan. It is very informative and inspirational, especially during these times of fast paced life, and constant exposure to sad and negative news. Most of us need to slow down, reflect on our life and then start working on healing oneself and eventually things like hobbies, exercise and just enjoying whatever makes you happy.😊
I was diagnosed at 36 with ADHD. I had all the signs growing up and even as an adult. The level of anxiety, depression and stress I had just living life was so hard. I wish I would’ve got the help sooner.
I love P&F. Content for grown women. I’ve had an executive coach “on and off” for the past 16 years . She really helped me set boundaries and define the work that brings me the most joy. Now that I’m semi-retired , we went through a similar exercise earlier this year . I learned to say “no” to work that’s is not aligned with my goals and the way I work ( flexible schedule , limited travel, etc.)
The diagnosis of anxiety with the ball in the pit of the stomach. I thought it was issues w/colon. Not so. So you helped me identify the feeling. As always,, kudos for bringing the real
Girl! Burnout is so real. I too have anxiety and it’s a struggle. I took a break from working to get myself together. Hobbies are so important. I’ve decided to prioritize hobbies in the same way I prioritize work. Balance is super important. During this time I’ve also learned that routines work well for me. I have a personal trainer 3 times a week and therapy weekly. I too took my weekends back. I am starting self care Sundays with a friend once a month and the other Sundays i’ll do whatever will make me feel good on that day. It’s so easy to get caught in the grind but having success and not being able to enjoy it doesn’t make much sense. Quality of life cannot be disregarded.
So grateful for you and your vulnerability. This video was 🗣️ RIGHT👏🏽ON👏🏽TIME👏🏽 SIS!!! I went through PHP group therapy also and did not realize how much I was holding inside. I too cried a lot and yes I do mean A LOT! Almost embarrassingly so. Winter blues is definitely real for me and I’ve honestly been feeling it lately especially after the holidays are over. You’ve inspired me to set up those biweekly appointments with my therapists as well. Our wellness plan looks very similar with the exception of “find a hobby” and “just say no.” I was just about to incorporate my job into my hobby and thanks to you, I will not.l! However, I do have a few things on my list which make me happy and I promised myself I would do more of. I learned to say no after my PHP group therapy 😜. I’ve been nervous about taking solo trips but this video is my confirmation to 🗣️GO FOR IT! I knew it was time for me to practice this by looking at my scheduled plans for my next trip (broadway musical, train to African American museum, shopping, hit a few lounges and of course hit a few restaurants). Given that agenda, I know someone may try to get me to change at least one of my activities and I don’t want to. Soooo… NO! I’ll go alone. You’ve helped me tremendously Sis and I’ll be cheering for you to stick to your plan. How do you feel about a quarterly check in video on your wellness plan??? 🤔
thank you so much for sharing. for a hobby i joined a book club. i’ve always just read on my own and it’s nice to find different authors and books i wouldn’t have normally selected. it is hard, i turned both of my hobbies into jobs and you’re so right about creating separation.
Thank you for sharing -being so transparent was very helpful.I’m also trying to increase my wellness journey. I definitely have my best days when I take time to start my day with the Word, devotional and prayers and affirmations. Gratitude journals is a must it really makes me put things in perspective 😊
Morning devotional reading without question, regular meditation, PT exercises/stretches and vitamins and looking to decrease consumption of refined sugar...also looking to do more self-love affirmation work...Emotional Freedom technique (EFT) is a great practice for this
This was what I needed to hear just now. Sometimes no matter how hard you try people you love can disappoint you and make you feel they really don't see you. Making yourself a priority is something we aren't trained to do. Your reflective contemplative recitation really hit the spot. So happy I was fortunate enough to find you on this interweb. Keep going dear one.
I love this video and thank you for the transparency..it takes heart to be vulnerable..I am working on my plan also because of burnout, stress, and a significant death in my family. I felt myself being swallowed..work in progress over here but as a NOLA GIRL I had to address..NOT THE TWO PIECE SPICY!!😂😂😂..love your content..keep it coming
Thank you for sharing about your journey Tashira. For me routine really helps my mental health but can harm it also. I travel a lot of work and recently shifted into a new role so things have been challenging. Solo trips were apart of my wellness precovid but I haven’t been able to incorporate that back into my routine. Movement first thing in the morning, eating well, therapy and social time with loved ones is also important. Wishing you a healthy and healing holiday
As another woman with anxiety, you said it perfectly. It totally feels like everything will crumble if I’m not the most responsible person I know. And I’m far from that lol.
Of all the things mentioned saying No is the major take away because even doing that is work and that’s amazing. I’ll be borrowing that for sure starting now. 🙌🏾
Thank you. Thank you for the authentic transparency. I have to say that I skipped this post for several days because I didn’t want to deal with wellness, but when I did I took a deep cleaning breathe. This is hard but so needed for Personal love service. Thank you my sista for the first step in personal service to me.
Thank you for this video. We travel 2-3X a year for a month at a time and I DO have to get myself back on track every time we get home. I think in my plan, I’ll be reducing the time we are away from home.
My Aries ♈️ sister I completely understand. I want to get back into painting as a hobby. I am reading Set Boundaries Find Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab. As Aries women we are empaths along with being driven. We do have to say no to people and things sometimes. This will help our anxiety.
I absolutely love this. I too work a lot and have been wanting to set boundaries around work life balance as I’ve been experiencing burn out and this video was a reminder how necessary self care is ❤ thank you
Wow! I am going through PHP now. It’s my 2nd week with 6 more weeks to go, the best thing I have done for myself! This vlog is God send for sure!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you so very much for sharing this video. I so needed it today. Just know that you are in my prayers. Have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving. 🤎🍷
I absolutely love this video! Thank you for your transparency. Can you talk more about or create a list of some of the different types of therapy? I never heard of the methods you mentioned and I am very interested in exploring. ❤❤
I am so appreciative that you made this video. I watch because I love fashion and I enjoy your delivery and perspective, but it was another case of "i thought it was just me" ❤
Taking this to heart I feel like I've had a very similar struggle this year as well. And I definitely going to make a wellness plan. Starting off with what I eat. Getting back into Therapy as well has been on my heart too. Thank you for sharing.
Very gracious of you Tashira to share something so very personal with us. Speaking that which you are greatful for I find very calming. On those days when things are kind of rough, know someone is sending you a caring hug to help you through. God Bless and keep you.🙏🙏
This is the kick start I needed to implement my own plan. Thank you for sharing so honestly, I share some of the same struggles with anxiety. Also huge shout out to the commenter that mentioned the stress of success…that is REAL.
Self care, self care, self care. Walking, just plain walking is my jam. Strength training, another HUGE stress release mechanism (even just a bit at home with free weights). Eating WELL and skin pampering. Dressing up for no reason. And honestly, a little mindful retail therapy (it has its place for me). Weekend and 7 pm boundaries are also a non-negotiable as well (I sometimes will have to on a weekend, but not often); I'm at a big age and work in an education-adjacent field so the work-24/7-martyrdom Kool Aid goes around strong...but you have to prioritize yourself, learned that over the years, like you). Finally, I love that you model that we can serve a look, no matter what (the TH Clavicle TM with Christian Dior...). :) Happy T-giving to you and yours.

People talk about the stress of failure, but, Lord, why don't we talk more about the stress of success? Thank you for doing just that. Thank you for sharing.
SHONDOOOOO!!! THIS.
Love this and thank you for sharing❤. (1) I’ve started being more kind to myself - stop treating other people better than I treat myself. (2) Forgive myself (3) pay more attention to my time and be ON time. It’s precious. (4) stop revisiting the past. I don’t live there any more. (5) avoid negative energy and people.❤
love all five!
Love this!

What books and pencils or markers do you recommend? I could get into this!
So many of us suffer in silence. ❤ your transparency. Thank you for sharing.

Geneology. Crafting. Stamp collecting. Yoga. Painting. Jewelry design.
“Humility is a trait that I lack” 😂 Love that!
I'm glad you are taking care of yourself because you bring so much joy to those of us that follow you.

Dancing, reading for fun, drawing/painting, learn an instrument, cooking....thank you for sharing. Sending you love on this healing journey. 💕

Most of us need to slow down, reflect on our life and then start working on healing oneself and eventually things like hobbies, exercise and just enjoying whatever makes you happy.😊

Admiring your wellness plan-it resonates on many levels. Here's to embracing healthier practices and staying committed to your boundaries. Cheers!
So grateful for you and your vulnerability. This video was 🗣️ RIGHT👏🏽ON👏🏽TIME👏🏽 SIS!!! I went through PHP group therapy also and did not realize how much I was holding inside.

Our wellness plan looks very similar with the exception of “find a hobby” and “just say no.” I was just about to incorporate my job into my hobby and thanks to you, I will not.l! However, I do have a few things on my list which make me happy and I promised myself I would do more of. I learned to say no after my PHP group therapy 😜. I’ve been nervous about taking solo trips but this video is my confirmation to 🗣️GO FOR IT! I knew it was time for me to practice this by looking at my scheduled plans for my next trip (broadway musical, train to African American museum, shopping, hit a few lounges and of course hit a few restaurants). Given that agenda, I know someone may try to get me to change at least one of my activities and I don’t want to. Soooo… NO! I’ll go alone.
You’ve helped me tremendously Sis and I’ll be cheering for you to stick to your plan. How do you feel about a quarterly check in video on your wellness plan??? 🤔
thank you so much for sharing. for a hobby i joined a book club. i’ve always just read on my own and it’s nice to find different authors and books i wouldn’t have normally selected. it is hard, i turned both of my hobbies into jobs and you’re so right about creating separation.
Thank you for sharing -being so transparent was very helpful.I’m also trying to increase my wellness journey. I definitely have my best days when I take time to start my day with the Word, devotional and prayers and affirmations. Gratitude journals is a must it really makes me put things in perspective 😊
❤❤❤❤❤. Morning reading / quietness does help. Thank you for reflecting me
This is Gonna b so Insightful P&F🔥🔥🔥👍n Happy Wednesday😀….
the content has felt so intentional and thoughtful , loved this video
Thank you so much 🤍
This video resonated with me; self- care is so vital to our wellbeing! I’m praying u find balance and success on your journey.
Morning devotional reading without question, regular meditation, PT exercises/stretches and vitamins and looking to decrease consumption of refined sugar...also looking to do more self-love affirmation work...Emotional Freedom technique (EFT) is a great practice for this
This was what I needed to hear just now. Sometimes no matter how hard you try people you love can disappoint you and make you feel they really don't see you. Making yourself a priority is something we aren't trained to do. Your reflective contemplative recitation really hit the spot. So happy I was fortunate enough to find you on this interweb. Keep going dear one.
Thank you Charles 🤍
Thank you some for being so honest and open and sharing, sending you lots of love ❤
Thanks for being humble, open and transparent 😅
It’s called setting boundaries with yourself!
Tashara!!! This was good!! So so good! Thank you so much sharing!! So many gems 💎 I captured!! Thank you
I love this video and thank you for the transparency..it takes heart to be vulnerable..I am working on my plan also because of burnout, stress, and a significant death in my family. I felt myself being swallowed..work in progress over here but as a NOLA GIRL I had to address..NOT THE TWO PIECE SPICY!!😂😂😂..love your content..keep it coming
Thank you for sharing about your journey Tashira. For me routine really helps my mental health but can harm it also. I travel a lot of work and recently shifted into a new role so things have been challenging. Solo trips were apart of my wellness precovid but I haven’t been able to incorporate that back into my routine. Movement first thing in the morning, eating well, therapy and social time with loved ones is also important. Wishing you a healthy and healing holiday
same to you!
This was the video I didn’t even know I needed. THANK YOU for sharing 🥹🙏🏿!
As another woman with anxiety, you said it perfectly. It totally feels like everything will crumble if I’m not the most responsible person I know. And I’m far from that lol.
Of all the things mentioned saying No is the major take away because even doing that is work and that’s amazing. I’ll be borrowing that for sure starting now. 🙌🏾
Oh sis, you got this. I suffer from GAD. Trust me, you're doing great!
Congratulations on putting yourself first.
Thank you for being you and so honest, Mami. Tu eres bella!
I have taken a DEEP dive into your channel. I enjoy it immensely. Your skin glows my dear. Your lotion and skin care routine pls...ty
Thank you. Thank you for the authentic transparency. I have to say that I skipped this post for several days because I didn’t want to deal with wellness, but when I did I took a deep cleaning breathe. This is hard but so needed for Personal love service. Thank you my sista for the first step in personal service to me.
You are so welcome!
Very good and practical content! Live your best life and anyone will achieve success!
Wow, you are so transparent, you are a beautiful woman, I enjoy your channel ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you so much for allowing us into your journey...you have no idea how helpful this video was.
Glad it was helpful
Thank you for this video. We travel 2-3X a year for a month at a time and I DO have to get myself back on track every time we get home. I think in my plan, I’ll be reducing the time we are away from home.
My Aries ♈️ sister I completely understand. I want to get back into painting as a hobby. I am reading Set Boundaries Find Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab. As Aries women we are empaths along with being driven. We do have to say no to people and things sometimes. This will help our anxiety.
Great wellness plan. Thanks for sharing your truth ❤
I absolutely love this. I too work a lot and have been wanting to set boundaries around work life balance as I’ve been experiencing burn out and this video was a reminder how necessary self care is ❤ thank you
Wow! I am going through PHP now. It’s my 2nd week with 6 more weeks to go, the best thing I have done for myself!
This vlog is God send for sure!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you so very much for sharing this video. I so needed it today. Just know that you are in my prayers. Have a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving. 🤎🍷
Bravo for your transparency!
I absolutely love this video! Thank you for your transparency. Can you talk more about or create a list of some of the different types of therapy? I never heard of the methods you mentioned and I am very interested in exploring. ❤❤
I am so appreciative that you made this video. I watch because I love fashion and I enjoy your delivery and perspective, but
it was another case of "i thought it was just me"
❤
You are so welcome!
Yes to group therapy!!
Thank you so much. I am also in the process of creating wellness schedule for like.v I really do enjoy your content.❤
There you go❤
Thank you for this video, especially this time of the year!
Taking this to heart I feel like I've had a very similar struggle this year as well. And I definitely going to make a wellness plan. Starting off with what I eat. Getting back into Therapy as well has been on my heart too. Thank you for sharing.
Very gracious of you Tashira to share something so very personal with us. Speaking that which you are greatful for I find very calming. On those days when things are kind of rough, know someone is sending you a caring hug to help you through. God Bless and keep you.🙏🙏
This is so touching. Thank you 🤍
Good Vlog it is important to think about self care and mindfulness as well as mental health ❤😊
This is the kick start I needed to implement my own plan. Thank you for sharing so honestly, I share some of the same struggles with anxiety. Also huge shout out to the commenter that mentioned the stress of success…that is REAL.
Self care, self care, self care. Walking, just plain walking is my jam. Strength training, another HUGE stress release mechanism (even just a bit at home with free weights). Eating WELL and skin pampering. Dressing up for no reason. And honestly, a little mindful retail therapy (it has its place for me). Weekend and 7 pm boundaries are also a non-negotiable as well (I sometimes will have to on a weekend, but not often); I'm at a big age and work in an education-adjacent field so the work-24/7-martyrdom Kool Aid goes around strong...but you have to prioritize yourself, learned that over the years, like you). Finally, I love that you model that we can serve a look, no matter what (the TH Clavicle TM with Christian Dior...). :) Happy T-giving to you and yours.
😂😂😂💕💕💕
