"Self-Care"

When the tides of stress rise, your self-care must rise also. It's a lesson I am continually learning. It's often hard to give yourself the kindness you'd easily offer to others.

“I will breathe. I will think of solutions. I will not let my worry control me. I will not let my stress level control me. I will simply breath. And it will be OK. Because I don’t quit.”

It's okay to be stressed. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to be burnt out. Please remember to take breaks instead of just continuing to push yourself, you need breaks physically, mentally and emotionally.

You don't have to do it all right now. Instead of trying to clean your whole room, maybe just try clearing off your desk. Instead of trying to write a whole essay,maybe just try writing a sentence or two. Getting started is almost always the hardest part, and the smallest steps forward will help you reach your goals.

“When you are your own best friend, you don’t endlessly seek out relationships, friendships, and validation from the wrong sources because you realize that the only approval and validation you need is your own.”

things i wish i’d been told sometimes

𓂃 your life revolves around you and it always has. if you feel the need to stop and catch your breath, do it. time moves forward, but your life will never be able to continue without you.

𓂃 the way people talk to you about others is a direct reflection of how they talk to others about you. remember that.

𓂃 life is too short to stay quiet. your voice carries you as much as you carry your voice.

𓂃 nobody pays as much attention to you as you think they do.

𓂃 nobody’s expecting you to do something useful every day. you shouldn’t expect that from yourself either.

𓂃 nothing that matters to you is useless. if it’s important to you then it’s important, period.

𓂃 don’t live every day like it’s your last–rather like it’s your first. get to know your space, get comfortable where you aren’t yet, try new things but not everything at once. and look forward to things that are coming.

𓂃 you’re only responsible for what you can control and influence. focus on that.

𓂃 stop trying to be okay all the time. you do not have to be okay all the time.

𓂃 it’s more common to have a soft and protecting tummy than to have flat abs. both is healthy, both is pretty.

𓂃 your teens are not your only chance on having a good, fulfilled, and social life. if you can’t find your place in high school you will in another environment. this isn’t where it ends.

𓂃 you have the right to change your mind over and over and over again until you’re happy.
