apollonia

you may not want to clean your room, but you like the peace and call it brings you after

you may not want to study, but you like the confidence and satisfaction you get from being prepared

you may not not want to apologise, but you like the relief and connection that reconciliation brings

you may not want to cook, but you like the satisfaction of eating a healthy come cooked meal prepared with love

you may not want to exercise, but you like how you feel afterwards and how it makes you confident

you may not want to journal or write, but you like the reflection and calm it brings you

you may not want to step out of your comfort zone, but you like the new experiences and growth you gain from it

To be in the present

Take one day at a time

Remember baby steps still go a long way

Read a little everyday if it’s possible

Write a little everyday if it is possible

Go on walks and listen to the birds singing

Work out to help with my health whenever it’s possible without pushing myself too hard

Laugh with friends and reach out more

Sleep a little better

Find joy in the small things

Give love in my own soft and vulnerable way and hope it will come back to me

And remain hopeful and not let the harshness of the world make me believe this place is lost

Cope with grief and loss
