dear reader you are kind, selfless, powerful, strong, smart, resilient and determined. you get things done and you are there for the people you love. life gets busy, so busy that often we forget how to slow down and make sure we are okay. it’s easy to work work work, tend to others emotionally and somehow forget to tend to ourselves. it’s so important to be mindful of this. we cannot pour from an empty cup, so we have to make sure we are okay in order to function properly and in order to help others.
ask yourself — am i okay emotionally? am i okay mentally? am i okay physically? these are things we should ask ourselves on a regular basis and if the answer is “no” then you should make it your top priority to tend to yourself.
make sure to get plenty of rest! your body and mind needs this to be able to go on. rest is so important, mentally and physically. turn off the noise and chaos in your life and tend to your needs ... listen to what your mind needs, what your body needs. sleep, food, laughter, a good book, a comfort movie, love, a good cry, social interaction, solitude etc. whatever it is, do that for yourself. allow yourself to recharge so you will be ready to get back to your daily life; school or work.
begin your healing journey. acknowledge what happened. allow yourself to feel.. be sad, cry.. it’s okay. get help if you need to, go to therapy or talk to a loved one. meditate, practice self care - listen to music - music can be very healing, start a healing journal — write down all your feelings daily. start with things that has happened in the past and write down how it made you feel and ways you think you can overcome it. then write down the present things that are happening in your life, how they make you feel and ways you can overcome them.
healing takes time. don’t rush your process and don’t compare your process to others .everyone has their own timeline in life. no one’s journey is the same. so don’t feel like you may be behind or healing too slow. there’s no such thing. you will bloom on your own time.
remember that the love and kindness you give to others is the same love and kindness that you need to give to yourself. make self care and mental healthy a top priority, speak kind words (affirmations) to yourself daily, go to bed at a decent hour and try to get 8+ hrs of sleep each night, clear your mind and let go of things you can’t control instead of worrying about them, don’t skip meals, drink water daily, exercise, try yoga, pick up a hobby that helps you relax and stay calm etc .. if you practice doing these things daily you will see such an important in your everyday life ♡
make it a daily or weekly goal to
recharge mentally, emotionally and physically
continue on your healing journey
sending love and positive energy, please accept ‹3
