This is true, we all know it’s easier said than done. Hard to let go of those old slippers with the holes in them cause we know where the holes are.. just like hanging on toxic people, we know they’re gonna hurt us. We do need anymore practice defending ourselves. Step by step, moment by moment, live your authentic self! #authentic #authenticself #youcanheal #healfromabuse #youcanbefree #youmatter #trauma #survivor #takebackyourpower #redflags #cycleofabuseisreal #heartbroken #youwillheal #lettinggo #besafe #selfworth #recovery #loveyou #youareworthit #gaslighting #boundries #healthyboundries #healingfromabuse #emotionalabuse #rape #hiddenabuse #shame #noshamingthevictim #breakthesilence#bebrave (at Sewickley, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oyXlAg7gp/?igshid=129mjuxj5ydan

Help others heals you. When you’re in the hospital, which I am a lot, do something nice for someone. Compliment their hair, outfit, shoes... it feels nice to them but to you it feels better!

Never compromise on your values. People you like may walk out of your life, pointing their finger at you saying, she’s/he’s mean, unloving... when it could not be farther from the truth! They have to hurt you to feel better about themselves.

Get quiet and listen to nature.. god or whomever is your higher power.. turn off the music, the phone and tune into you. Let yourself cry, laugh, sob, scream... move that energy!
