Gentle reminder <3

[yuna-is-tired-sm]

a stranger must have seen you and marveled on how beautiful you look.

a stranger must have seen you and prayed may you come across everything that is good.

a stranger must have seen how tired you look and wished all your problems gone.

february wellness for tired bodies

reminders:

- your body is not behind

- rest is not a failure

- healing isn’t linear

- you are allowed to move at your own pace

- surviving this season is enough

things to try:

- gentle stretching first thing in the morning

- find something that brings you joy and make it a routine

- try a new drink: an herbal tea, an electrolyte mix, etc

- practice strength in whatever capacity your body allows

- notice the sunset changing as the days grow longer

prepare for:

- fluctuating temperatures as we approach spring

- valentine’s day and the joy or grief it may bring

- changing sights and sounds as the earth slowly wakes up

this is a space for softness, not solutions.

hold onto what feels right for you, and let go of what does not.

Why the Little Things Stay With Us Small stories. Small moments. Small actions that reverberate through the years, often in ways we never fully realise at the time. My own writing life — if one can call it that — began in the fourth grade, with a teacher named Mrs. Drew. I do not recall her first name, if I ever knew it at all. Back then, adults were simply Mr., Mrs., or Miss, and that seemed…
