Terra Counseling & Consulting

Life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness is an invitation to virtue. When we seek genuine goodness for one another, we’ll find more commonality than opposition. It won’t make our choices any less difficult, but it will ground them in love. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @forbes #FridayFeeling

We take people for granted. We think they’ll always be there, or they know how we really feel about them. The truth is, we constantly need to be loved & nurtured. Do not fear telling them how you feel — fear what happens if we don’t. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @988lifeline #TraumaInformed

Do we really have the choice to heal, or is it our destiny to feel pain? It’s hard to escape the harsh realities. It looks & feels like we’re trapped in a cycle until it’s broken. A small, repeatable choice grows into something big. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @famimind_ #WellnessWednesday

Life is scary. It requires us to take risks we aren’t always ready for or make choices we’d rather not make. Yet for the brave, it holds infinite, untapped potential. We don’t have to do it alone; we can spiral together. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @notestostrangers #TransformationTuesday

Will the reward be worth the risk? We have to choose our hard. Life will offer us chance after chance to go after our dreams, and the difference maker between achieving them and not is our ability to take the risk & learn the lesson. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @buildalpha #MondayMotivation

Don’t be afraid to care, to show up. Every relationship is a risk that our trust will be betrayed, our love will not be reciprocated, or that we won’t be safe. We shouldn’t ignore the red flags, but we can’t live in isolation either. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @rainierwylde #FridayFeeling

Do we want to see tomorrow? The answer is a resounding yes, even when we only have the faintest desire for it. Build, create, make, or plan something today. It doesn’t have to be perfect or even complete. It will give our pain hope. #TerraFirma 💡 @creativedebuts #TraumaInformed

Safety is such a dangerous illusion. It’s necessary, for sure, and in times of extreme distress, a soft space for us to retreat to. Harmfully, if we stay there too long, we’ll lose the resilience we found in an unlocked prison cell. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @poetryrise #WellnessWednesday

Kindness transforms the world. It takes on many forms and can look a 1000 different ways, but we know it when we see it. We feel its lightest touch, and it urges us to act in kind to return the gift it gives. Be kind. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @worldpoetrycollective #TransformationTuesday

What are we afraid to do? Do we do the thing we ought to, or do we avoid it out of fear? Will it make us happy? virtuous? productive? fulfilled? confident? We won’t know until we try. And if we fail, at least we’ll be wiser. Do it. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @newhappyco #MondayMotivation

We wait a lot, but don’t really do it patiently. We fill those moments with our own running thoughts & dialogue. We scroll looking to fill the void. We wait for someone to listen, to really listen, instead of for their turn to talk. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @jack_kornfield #FridayFeeling

In the Curation Era, we seldom see the entire story. Instead, we pick & choose the bits & pieces we think look & sound the best. Either we intentionally ignore parts we don’t like or are blissfully unaware of their existence. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @morganharpernichols #TraumaInformed

When something feels off remember you aren’t the only one. We all have indicators when life feels a bit askew that show us what we need. We can’t always see them as we stand too close, so we need help. That’s how we’re designed. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @writtentospeak #WellnessWednesday

Growth is not an overnight endeavor. It’s a time-consuming commitment to deeper and deeper opportunities leading to mastery. And even then, we have to wonder how far the depths of wisdom can go. Leveling up is going deeper in. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @musecoaching #TransformationTuesday

The process is what gets us there, & while the goal may drive us, it won’t be why we achieve it. It’s the everyday work, the mundane steps we take, that bring us our hopes & dreams. If we stop taking those steps, we’ll soon be lost. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @onepercent #MondayMotivation

Hold on to those around you—the ones that make us feel seen, heard, cared for, & like ourselves. They are the ones who root for us even when it hurts. And be one of those people who can be counted on. Don’t let loneliness win. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @estherperelofficial #FridayFeeling

Our emotional cracks reveal a history of pain & fear. They show the fragility of our hearts and the difficulties we’ve endured. Yet, if we aim the light just right, we can create a beautiful kaleidoscope of restoration & wisdom. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @strong_towns #TraumaInformed

We are each messengers, and while it is not for us to decide everything that happens in the world, we do get to choose what we magnify in it. There are times when reality must be faced, but good news is also real. Share your good. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @rainierwylde #WellnessWednesday

As long as we have breath, there is time. Life doesn’t begin or end at any set age for everyone except for day 1. When will we choose to make the most of every moment? That’s up to us to dream big, love bigger, & discover. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @nakedwriting #TransformationTuesday

Not all action leads to a frenetic pace of rushing around accomplishing necessary tasks. It can also be intentional inaction or restrained focus on one to do—to love someone with our full attention. That’s how hearts work. #TerraFirma🌱 💡 @resilientlittlehearts #MondayMotivation
