Being strong is overrated.
Another of my favorite lines...
It is okay, to not be okay sometimes.
As it is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth lemme just say, if you are not feeling okay for most of the time, please know that while this is human, it should not be your norm and I would highly recommend checking in with a medical doctor and/or a therapist.
As we move towards a shift in thinking in language, be sure to challenge yourself. Be intentional about affirming your own value. No conditions. Just because.
Say it with me.
I am enough.
I am human.
I am completely loved, unconditionally.
Lean into your “weak” moments and own them. They are not defining you even if it feels like it’s been the story of your life. Put another way, your imperfections, struggles and challenges do not mean that you are weak, broken or less than.
Let’s seek to
* Normalize interdependence, that is needing others or needing help outside of ourselves
* Normalize having limits, which means you can’t be all things to everyone, all the time.
* Normalize having and showing emotions. Pain cues you that something is wrong. Acknowledge it, identify the source and then make steps to address the source. While that’s happening, it’s okay to admit that you may not be okay.
