“ One day, you will sit in the sun and things won’t feel so bad.” ~Unknown

"Patterns are information. They show you how someone consistently shows up and what they prioritize. Let that information guide where you place your boundaries.” ~Alyssa (Lia) Mancao @LiaMancao

“You’ll get there. But right now, you’re here. Pause. Rest. Reset.” ~Unknown

“We often mistake a change in scenery for a change in soul. We think that because we have a house, a career, and a ‘perfect’ family, we have outgrown our struggle. But healing is not a matter of time; it is a matter of awareness.” ~Stephanie Nelson, M.A. How to heal on a deeper level instead of just moving on: buff.ly/EsByFnI

"There will always be more to do. The cleaning and laundry won’t stop. The inbox will refill. The to-do list will rewrite itself overnight. But your life isn’t just a series of tasks to complete. Go for the walk, call your friend, slow down without trying to optimize the moment. You don’t need to clear your entire life before you’re allowed to feel ease. Because if that’s the rule, ease will never come. So learn to pause in the middle of it, not at the end of it.” @VexKing

"I think we underestimate how intimate it is to give someone your time. In a world where everyone is busy, distracted, and pulled in a hundred different directions, choosing to focus on someone is a decision. It’s saying, 'Out of everything I could be doing, I choose you.' That’s not small.” ~Meryam J.

"The most vulnerable thing I can do is show you my pain. The most loving thing you can do is not look away.” ~Parm K.C.

"I can’t reach higher states of consciousness or heal much of my trauma when I’m stuck in constant survival mode and my nervous system is paralyzed by fight-or-flight mode because I don’t know how I’m going to tackle my rent next month. We must take care of the survival aspects of our life before we can dive deeper.” ~Silvia Turoňová Finding peace with money: buff.ly/ULrnX05

"A love language we rarely mention is when someone is so clear and direct, your mind never has to fill in the blanks.” @thecasekenny

"Someone once told me, 'Open every door that you possibly can. The doors that close, let them close. And just keep walking through the ones that remain open.' That hit.” @jayshetty

"If your peace depends on everything going right, that’s not peace, that’s control. Learning to be steady in uncertainty: that’s real growth.” ~Unknown

"Emotionally immature people cannot hear you. They simply cannot. They are too busy defending and protecting themselves to be able to connect with you and hear you in any meaningful way.” ~Vienna Pharaon

If today feels heavy, remember that your story isn’t over yet.

Before you criticize your body, read this...

"I don’t know who needs to hear this, but speaking up for yourself isn’t the same as being confrontational.” @DrLeahKatz

"As we age, we learn that not everything lasts and not everything stays, and that’s okay.” ~Unknown

“On the days when we feel smallest, we might be the thing holding someone else together… We don’t need to be extraordinary to matter. We just need to be present.” ~Daniel H. Shapiro The gift we give others without knowing: buff.ly/m8gRGah

In a world that glorifies more, choose less. @alltoowriting

"Just because it is not happening in the timing you expected does not mean it is not happening.” @briannawiest

What if it does work out...
