Taking a moment to pause, breathe, and tune into how you’re feeling can make a big difference. I used to try to power through each day, never asking myself what I was feeling in each moment. When I began tuning into myself more, I realized that what I was doing was a form of self-dismissal. I didn’t see myself as worthy of listening to or paying attention to, and so I didn’t. Learning how to see myself as valuable and worthy, in all moments, is an ongoing process. But it’s getting better.

So let’s practice some self-love and self-care together, right now. Put your hands on your heart. Close your eyes. Breathe. What do you feel? What is your inner self whispering to you?

I’m having one of those days were the little things are REALLY bothering me. I’m also having one of those days were I don’t want to do anything about it. At least not right now. I just want to be in my feels and drink my lavender chai.

I know that my thoughts are mine to choose. And I know I can choose a new thought at anytime, which would lead to new and better feelings. But I also know that there is no such thing as a bad feeling. Feelings are our guidance system. Trying to rush into positive and happy feelings often skips over the healing, awareness, and growth that’s trying to come through.

Sometimes, what we need most is to just feel HEARD. To know there is space for all our feelings in this world, and that all our feelings are valid. Being with the heavy feelings can be very healing in itself, especially if you often had to mask or hide your feelings growing up.

So I’m having one of those days. And I’m letting it be okay. Im letting myself feel all my feelings, and knowing they are all valid and important.

And if nothing else, I have my lavender chai ☕️❤️
