and sometimes, all we need is a little compassion to find our way back.
when you don’t feel good, and you know you’re the one causing that suffering — it’s easy to get down on yourself. when you aren’t taking care of you — it’s easy to feel deep guilt, to judge yourself, to make excuses, to play the victim. that’s our default coping strategy as humans. but truly, all we need in the moments of chaos is to show ourselves the compassion we so easily give others.
its funny, yesterday I couldn’t even see straight. I couldn’t see how I could possibly find the time to do anything for myself. I couldn’t get out of my own way. I was stressed. anxious. & deeply disappointed that I was feeling those things.
and then this morning, I decided to make the time. I stood in the sun with my hand on my heart and chose to show myself compassion.
the release was instant.
I walked away with more hope than i’ve felt in weeks.
remember, it’s never too late to choose again.
love > fear.
sending love 🕊🕊🕊
