Focus on the step ahead of you not the whole staircase👣

Recharging our brains and bodies is SO important. Remember to take a break today and don’t feel bad about it!

Affirmations to consider when you are coping with hard feelings🌸

Your best today is completely different than your best yesterday or your best a year ago, it depends on your specific circumstances at a specific moment in time and that is OKAY. Be proud of yourself for doing your best even if that’s just getting out of bed today👏🪴

It’s so easy to let anxious thoughts get the best of you and hold you back from experiences. Do your best to remind yourself of all the possible positive outcomes, which are probably more likely to occur anyway!🌞

🧠Our brains trick us into overestimating the negative and emotional outcomes of a situation and not consider the actual probability of an event happening OR the influence of positive factors. This is why it is so important to give yourself these reminders!👏

Asking for help shows strength, not weakness. Let’s end the stigma.👏

Setting healthy boundaries is vital for maintaining positive relationships and ensuring your well-being. Boundaries can be physical or interpersonal and are equally important in friendships, families, workplaces, and romantic relationships. Remember… your feelings are valid and your peace is worth protecting🌞🪴

Self care is the most important part of your physical, emotional and mental care. What helps you recharge?
