Healing is a goal for many of us.
But it's certainly easier said than done.
That's why it's important we encourage each other to keep on focusing on and working for healing.
Because I absolutely believe that you can do it when you give yourself time and effort.
Remember: Small steps matter SO much!
And they accumulate and gain momentum.
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

This is such an important reminder for all of us living different lives than most others.
Many of us can't do "the big things".
That doesn't make us wrong or less than others.
And it doesn't mean we can't have a good life!

Saw this on Pinterest and thought it was so cute.
I would surely like a flower for all those battles I've won that nobody knows about.
And I would like to give one to you too🌷
So many battles go unnoticed by others.
We fight them on our own, in private.
Or we don't think about sharing them because we're used to them.
Maybe you hide them.
No matter the reason why nobody knows, you deserve credit and applause for getting through them.
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was cute and true.
Our small steps do matter SO much!
Taking those small steps enable big things, important things.
So I wanted to remind you not to dismiss your small steps this week.
And I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

It's so easy to forget to be kind to oneself.
It much easier to be kind to those around us.
But we need our kindness too.
We need to show ourselves compassion.
We need to show ourselves grace.
So this Monday, I am checking in with you to help remind you to do so.
Or to invite you to practice doing so with me.
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

Today I am reminding myself of this.
The importance of small steps.
It's so well illustrated in this picture, I think.
How they make progress possible.
It can help us reach our goals to make bite-sized plans, habits and routines.
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

On this Monday I would like to check in with you.
To make sure you're being kind to yourself.
It's so important.
Things are rough and hard enough with us also being hard on ourselves.
Saw a quote saying: Be kind to yourself, you've suffered enough.
And that hit home with me.
I often add to my suffering by being cruel towards myself.
And I want to practice doing some different.
Something kinder.
And maybe you would like to join me?
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

I've shared this one before.
But it's such a great message, it can do with another share.
We can abandon yourselves very easily.
And gaslight ourselves often.
I know I do both - if I'm not very mindful about it.
So this is a message, I need often: Please try to be on your own side - today and always.
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

This morning I was so overwhelmed, I could hardly get out of bed.
The weight of everything was crushing.
I almost had a panic attack.
But I did manage to talk myself down.
And I tried to tackle my morning by focusing on one task at a time.
It was exhausting.
But I did manage to get out of bed, get the kids and myself ready, walk my youngest to school, do my internship, and grocery shop.
Now I need a nap!
As you face your week, remember that you can take your week, day, or hour in steps - one thing at a time.
I won't say one "small" thing at a time, for it never feels like a "small" thing to me...
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.

So I had one of the toxic people in my life say something belittling to me...
And I went into instant self-gaslight mode and negated the impact it had on me.
But I recognized that I was doing that.
So I tried to go into self-validation mode instead.
I told myself that it made sense that it hurt me.
Since it was hurtful.
And I tried to show myself compassion.
I also had a friend remind me of something I want to remember in these kinds of situations;
I want to remember MY truth about me and my life.
And it all helped a little.
Here's to practicing and healing.
I wish you the best possible week you can have.
