feeling is healthy for ourselves AND our relationships. want to be easier to be around? swipe through for motivation to face your feelings. 💪🏼
self-acceptance is more than just a nice thing to feel. it’s necessary for healing. it touches the root of existing suffering, giving us hope and agency. and it prevents the creation of more, unnecessary pain caused by judgment. we can’t change what we don’t understand.
to those of us that feel we need permission ❤️
there’s no right. there’s no wrong. just noticing and the freedom to choose.

👆🏼thoughts on staying focused.
it’s human for us to focus on the how. but sometimes the how becomes the why. when this happens, we think the grade/job/paycheck IS the goal.
refocusing on the original why allows for a how that we might have never imagined possible—a how that we might have missed had we lost focus.
the most important relationship we have is with ourselves. 💗
to whoever needs to hear this:
your questions aren’t the cause of your suffering. you’re not being “too much” by asking them.
your lack of clarity-the nagging of unanswered questions-leads to suffering.
consider exploring the questions. observing them. facing them. answering them. creating community around them.
you may find that every little piece of the answer that comes your way feels like that deep breath you were trying to take all along.
we discover peace in the balance of understanding and trusting in our experience.
