My life improved so much when I started forcing myself to do things: forcing myself to exercise, to cook from scratch; forcing myself to go to the movies or to museums alone, to wear that really cute outfit just to run errands; forcing myself to read a book, to strike up a conversation with a stranger, to ask for a raise.

Once you begin forcing yourself to do the things that you had been too scared or too lazy to do, you feel a sense of accomplishment that gives you momentum to do even more. It gets easier to get out of your comfort zone & to do hard things.

No luxury items is worth sacrificing your self respect.

Your body is not a bargaining chip. 

Building your own income reduces pressure to accept uncomfortable situations.

That bag will not heal emotional damage. 

Your physical health is worth protecting. 

Your mental health is worth protecting. 

Your sexual health is worth protecting. 

You can find someone you are genuinely attracted to who is also financially stable.

You deserve relationships built on mutual attraction and respect.

You are not required to stay in any situation that makes you emotionally or physically uncomfortable.

There are paths that don't require compromising your values. 

You can rebuild your life at any point.

You are capable of creating your own success. 

The more self-sufficient you become, the less you have to tolerate what doesn’t feel right.

Real security includes emotional safety.

You can pause and reassess instead of committing to something that feels wrong.

Your dignity should have no price tag. 

You are allowed to change your mind when something doesn’t feel right.

Happiness can not be wrapped in a shopping bag. 

Being admired for your possessions is not the same as being valued as a person.

Support systems can help you leave situations that feel unhealthy.

Your body and boundaries deserve full respect in every relationship.

A relationship should not require you to suppress your instincts or feelings.

Travel, hobbies and community can expand your options and perspective.

You don’t owe anyone access to you because of what they provide.
