Should you celebrate yourself when you aren't in a good space?

Hello, you!


Long time, hey. Are you well?

I’ve spent the past few days feeling sad and in my feels. I have been dealing with a few things which are a challenge to me emotionally.


Thankfully, I am working through them with my psychologist and coach.


I don’t think bad triggers are necessarily the worst thing in my world. Sure, they feel awful but I see them as an opportunity to work and heal through something, even if it means having a meltdown and crying it out.


So that’s where I am right now.


And since it’s not a great place to be in, I was wondering if it would be worth it to continue to celebrate myself intentionally and consistently.


My answer is a resounding yes.


It’s an absofuckinglutely!


You know why?


Because even when the skies are grey and it’s pouring with rain, I still have wonderful things happening to me and I am doing great things.


So this is what I am celebrating this week:


1. Doing less.

2. Being interviewed on one of my favourite black American podcasts. I will share a link once the episode is published.

3. Being invited on another podcast, but it’s internal so I won’t be able to share a link with you once it is out.

4. Continuing to communicate my needs.

5. Doing my hair on time but I didn’t like the hairstyle, so I unplaited as soon as I got home and now I look like I didn’t do my hair on time. Yikes.

6. Not doing any work yesterday and today to honour myself because ma’am, I am on leave!

7. Joining the Lego club.


I am celebrating myself by having some Yococo ice-cream, which is my favourite.


If you are having a hard time celebrating yourself in a tough season, you can message me for a chat and I will hold space for you.


My bookings calendar is open for personal and business spiritual readings. The former includes sangoma/ shaman, psychic, medium and prophetic readings. You can also do a reading if you'd like to find out how your ancestors/ guides would like you to celebrate yourself.


Anyway, have a lovely week ahead.


If you are in South Africa, the next long weekend is in 6 weeks. Weep with me!


Love,

Gogo Pabi
