We often get caught up in the finish line—thinking we’ll feel whole once we arrive. But the truth is, the most important part of your journey is the step you're taking right now. This moment. This breath. This choice. It’s easy to forget, but presence is where your real life happens.

So instead of waiting to feel better "someday," ask yourself: What’s one small step I can take right now that aligns with who I want to become? Then take it—fully, mindfully, and without pressure to leap.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just show up for this moment. Again and again. That's where transformation begins.

What's one thing you can do for yourself right now?

So often, after guiding someone through a mental health exercise, they message me saying, “I feel so calm… now what?” And my response is always the same: Nothing. That’s it.

We’ve grown so used to chaos that stillness feels incomplete. But peace is the destination. Instead of asking, “What’s next?”—what if we asked, “Is this enough?” Because maybe the real practice is learning to let that peaceful moment be enough.

What if you stopped chasing the next thing and simply gave yourself permission to rest in that calm?

What’s stopping you from practicing today?

Forgiveness isn’t something you can force.
You can’t fake it. You can’t rush it.
And no—you don’t have to forget to forgive.

💡 Whether it’s journaling, talking it out, or just giving yourself the grace to feel it—this might be the moment you finally start to heal.

What's something that's really bothering you that you need to get off your chest or let go of?

Taking care of your mental health can feel uncomfortable at first, but that discomfort is often a sign of growth. Setting boundaries might make you feel guilty, when it’s actually teaching you self-respect. Going to therapy might make you feel broken, when it's actually helping you heal. Saying no might feel selfish, when it's actually protecting your peace. Slowing down might feel lazy, when it’s actually restoring your energy. Growth rarely feels like progress in the moment, but that’s because you’re becoming someone stronger, more grounded, and more free. Keep going. You’re becoming someone your future self will thank you for.

What’s one small mental health decision you’ve made recently that felt hard but helped? Let’s celebrate those wins below.

Maybe I'm overthinking things, but I think i still volunteer for a local animal shelter. When I say I think I volunteer for a local animal shelter, I don't know if I still do or not. Back in February, I walked into the satellite location I volunteer at to pretty much nothing done which was par for the course. I said something in the group chat, and didn't single anyone out as I only check to see if I'm on the schedule. I pretty much said that everyone has to chip in and fill the cleaning solutions we use and help with bringing in paper towels and Windex as it seemed like I wad the only person doing it. Well, needless to say. I got my ass chewed out for it and to let someone know who wasn't doing their part. I said i don't know who wasn't pulling their part. I got removed from the group chat and I haven't gone to clean since then. Everyone is pissed off about me saying something, and now I feel like a piece of shit for saying something. I have my diabetes under control, and for the most part my autoimmune disorder under control as well, even though I still get some symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and muscle weakness. but I'm sick of being taken advantage of. I usually cover for someone if I was able to, and never really said I can't do my shift which was every Saturday evening. I miss playing with the cats and cleaning. Do I look for another rescue to volunteer for, or just say forget it and cut my losses?

When your mind is tuned to what's missing, it will keep finding emptiness—even when you're surrounded by more than enough. Shifting from lack to abundance starts with attention. Try this: pause for a moment today and write down three things you have right now that you once wished for. This small act rewires your focus. The more you practice noticing what’s already good, the more your mind learns to see possibility instead of deficiency. What you focus on, grows.

What’s one thing you already have that you’re grateful for? Let’s start a thread of abundance below.
