Slow down to think clearly Boundaries help you thrive Let your intuition guide you Heavy moods are temporary Being super busy is not good for you Connect with people who like to grow Seeking perfection blocks your peace Make your mental health a top priority People pleasing gives away your power Past hurt can make your perception cloudy Healing yourself improves your relationship — Yung Pueblo

healing yourself will ask more of you —
more rest · more self love · more letting go
more time for learning · more space for transformation
more honesty about how you feel
more time developing good habits
more courage to try new practices
more time cultivating your inner peace
more faith in yourself and the process

The Comfort Book — Matt Haig

It's okay to be broken.
It's okay to wear the scars of experience. It's okay to be a mess. It's okay to be the teacup with a chip in it. That's the one with a story.

It's okay to be sentimental and whimsical and cry bittersweet tears at songs and movies you aren't supposed to love. It's okay to like what you like — for literally no other reason than because you like them.

It's okay to let people find you. You don't have to spread yourself so thin you become invisible. You don't have to always be the person reaching out. You can sometimes allow yourself to be reached.

As the great writer Anne Lamott puts it: lighthouses don't go running all over an island looking for boats to save; they just stand there shining.

It's okay not to make the most of every chunk of time. It's okay to be who you are.

It's okay.
