It is so important to take time for yourself and find clarity. The most important relationship in life is the one you have with yourself. 🤝

Research shows that gratitude makes you live longer. That's because the more grateful you are for what you have, the happier you are. And the happier you are, the more healthy you'll be. 🙏

An explosion of research into self-compassion over the last decade has shown its benefits for well-being. Individuals who are more self-compassionate tend to have greater happiness, life satisfaction and motivation, better relationships and physical health and less depression.

That initial discomfort is better than the (sometimes long-term) consequences of not setting the boundary. You’ve got this.

Let yourself breathe and just be. You’re good.

You are worthy. You are enough. 💙

If all you can do today, is take one step. One step is enough. 💟

Challenges are part of life. What can do to help manage them? 🛑 Set boundaries. Let other people know what does and doesn’t work for you. This establishes self-trust which is key to nurturing a supportive relationship with yourself.

💙 Practice self-compassion. Be the first one to celebrate your wins and console yourself when you face loss or challenge.

Being vulnerable can help us to work through our emotions easier. 🧠 Vulnerability fosters good emotional and mental health. Vulnerability also is a sign of courage. We become more resilient and brave when we embrace who we truly are and what we are feeling.

What steps have you taken to care for yourself today?

You do not have to buy into the stories in your head. In the presence of unhelpful thinking, observe, release, and reset.

Acceptance does not mean resignation. If things need to be changed (and you have influence over them), empower yourself to change them. If not, hold space for your feelings.
