#lovewithaccountability

Zoom out. Get perspective. I had a revelation this week. If you give me a thousand praises, I’ll find the one tiny negative thing I think you said and zero in on that negativity. For example, a friend told me, “Fabulous, Greig. But why are you texting 💬 me 5:00 a.m.?” I focused on the negative aspect of that message. But really. They were happy to hear from me. And they were setting boundaries. So, I’ve been mapping out my mental states and employing metacognition. When I feel like something someone said or did was negative, I zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Often the overall reality is way more favorable than a mere negative remark or action. How do you do it? Do you tend to zero in on the negative? ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #motivation #mindfulness #anxietyrelief #fitness #lovewithaccountability #instagood #positivity #psychology #selflove #psychotherapy #teletherapy #change #mentalhealthmatters #instadaily #mentalhealth #counseling #anxiety #recovery #love #quotes #growth #healing #mentalhealthawareness #quoteoftheday #peace #wellness https://www.instagram.com/p/CGpguT0F_gF/?igshid=18byjp0mmt2ba

Yesterday was a powerful experience and seeing the work @metoomvmt is doing to ensure a safe college environment for women and men is inspiring. Next stop Atlanta. #RepostPlus @metoomvmt - - - - - - “We are clear about how our communities think about sexual violence and what the backlash has been. Part of the reason why we’re here is to reimagine. Because on a college campus, you have the ability to try things and recreate. If campuses are a microcosm of our larger communities, what can happen in a community in which the people who live there develop the resources and supports within it? What would it feel like to walk around a campus that is free of violence?” - @taranajaneen The first stop on our #metooHBCU Tour at @howard1867 yesterday was incredible! We are so thankful for the students, faculty and administrators who showed up with open hearts and deep commitment to the work of ending sexual assault on HBCU campuses. @mooredarnell talked about love with accountability and the courage it takes to be self-reflexive and to call out behavior that contributes to rape culture. @fiyawata told the truth about consent and boundaries, and how these lessons around bodily autonomy, when taught early, can have deep impact on how we move in the world and engage with each other. We are full of gratitude to every brilliant and passionate student who took the time to reimagine with us, as well as those who joined the task force to further these efforts. The work is far from over, but we are so energized and cannot wait to see what gets birthed from the ideas that were conceived. #saam #believesurvivors #lovewithaccountability #endrapeculture #buildconsentculture #metoo 📸: @embassy730 (at Howard University) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvzyyZuhG7S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h7ie7tzn8ijb

It was a wonderful gift to be the featured speaker/engager/discussant at the Sadie Nash Summer Institute on their next to last #TrailblazingTuesday this summer. Black Queer Identity, Rape and other forms of gender-based violence, and #LoveWITHAccountability were the topics that we both touched upon and delved deep. I was inspired and invigorated by these teens and young adults who range from 9th grade to college bound high school graduates who asked thought provoking questions and shared insightful commentary about their communities and society at large. Shout out to Natasha Camille for inviting me. (at Downtown Bklyn)
