Healing From Emotional Abuse

i think society’s obsession with productivity will be our downfall, it’s unrealistic. you don’t need to be productive every minute of the day. your body needs rest. it’s not natural to stay “grinding” or “hustling”. please don’t feel guilty about taking care of your body and taking a break when you need one.

sometimes you’re going to mess up. you’re going to make mistakes. there are going to be times when you don’t listen well enough to others or what you’re body or heart is telling you. the important thing in these moments is to have unconditional, unlimited compassion for yourself. you always deserve compassion.

You’re responsible for your own development. You don’t have to wait until others forgive or validate you. You don’t have to hold yourself to an impossible standard to ‘prove’ that you’re a better person. All you have to do is decide that you are and back that up with actions, because what truly makes you a good person is the fact that you care about being one. Not others telling you that you are.

take note of the things that bring you joy and peace when you are doing well mentally and keep them at hand for when you are not.
