The original blog I have been working on is taking some time to get right, so in the meantime, here are some simple reminders!

• Your worth and the love you deserve is not defined by the job you have, the money you make, your relationship status, your appearance, or how productive you were.

• People don’t remember the things you said or did, but they remember how you made them feel.

• Any time you think “I have to _____,” take a day or two and don’t do those things. Obviously breathing, eating, and sleeping are non-examples. Wearing makeup, doing intense workouts, and getting together with a person you don’t really want to see are negotiable.

• Get outside.

• Put your phone away.

• Check in to see if your actions, thoughts, and behaviors are aligning with the person you aspire to be.

• If not, remember that growth is not linear.

• Rest is recharging.

• Instead of procrastinating, do the thing (talking to myself on this one).

• Drink water.

• Eat fresh fruits or veggies, both if you can.

• Think about how you’re coping with something today, and if it’s a method that truly serves you.

• The hardest thing and the right thing are often the same thing.

• Life is full of seasons, nothing permanent.

• If it feels like a sacrifice or an obligation, examine your boundaries and reflect on whether or not you’re honoring them.

• Laugh and smile.

• Assume positive intent.

• If you were once loved and that love no longer exists, know that history repeats itself. You will find that love again.

If all else fails, here’s a picture of a bison taking a nap on a beach.
