You’re not meant to fight every battle or fix every problem. Sometimes peace means putting the boulder down.

There are so many things in life that can weigh you down, but not all of them are yours to carry.
You do not have to fix everyone.
You do not have to solve every problem.
You do not have to pick up every boulder that crosses your path.

Protect your energy.
Choose your battles.
Focus on what brings you peace.

Taking care of yourself is not selfish.
It is how you stay strong enough to do what truly matters.

What is one thing you can put down today?

Feeling Stuck

Hello everybody, I hope everyone is doing well this December though it is very cold and I have resorted to using a heated blanket.
I’m feeling a little stuck at the moment. Around 5 years ago my A1C was 9.3% and my average glucose was 220. I was told by a family member I wasn’t diagnosed with diabetes or anything.
But I feel like whatever it is creeping back up in my life again.
-Blurred vision
-Extreme hunger
-Slow healing sores
-Tingling/Numbness
-Fatifue
-Increased bathroom trips
-Lightheadedness/Dizzy
-My hands shake
-Irritability
I’m not sure how I would ask a doctor about this but I’m getting a little concerned because diabetes’s does run in my family.

I know believing in yourself sounds simple, but when life breaks you down, it can feel impossible.

Believing in yourself is not about constant confidence or never doubting.

It is about having a small bit of faith, even when everything feels like it is falling apart.

Sometimes I look back at the times I thought I would not make it, when I had no idea how to move forward.

But somehow, I did.

Somehow, I am still here.

That is proof.

Proof that I have survived every single one of my hardest days.

If I could do it before, I can do it again.

And so can you.

Believing in yourself does not mean you always know how.

It means you trust that somehow, you will find a way.

What is one thing you want to start believing you can do?

You are still breathing. You still have time.
Healing does not expire.

You might feel like you missed your chance.

Like you should have healed by now, or started earlier, or figured everything out already.

But as long as you are breathing, it is not too late.

Every breath you take is proof that you still have time.

Time to begin again.

Time to rebuild.

Time to change direction.

You are not too old.

You are not too broken.

You are not too far behind.

You are alive, which means you still have possibility.

You can take one small step today, even if it feels tiny.

That is how every new beginning starts.

Your past is not the final chapter.

This is your moment.

Begin again.

What is one small beginning you can make today? Comment it here.

You are not your anger. You are not your pain.
They’re visitors, not who you are.

When you’re angry or in pain, it feels like those emotions are you.

You say, I am angry. I am hurting.

But what if you could step back and simply watch the anger, observe the pain, without becoming it?

The moment you separate yourself from what you feel, you begin to take your power back.

You realize that anger and pain are passing states, not your identity.

Try this next time a wave hits you:

Pause.

Breathe.

Notice the feeling as something happening in you, not something you are.

That’s the first step to peace of mind — awareness of mind.

What emotion have you been identifying with lately?
