A Few Things to Remind Yourself Today

I can slow down a little today.

Time I spend on myself isn’t wasted.

I don’t have to have the same energy every day.

I don’t have to get more tired before I’m allowed to notice I’m tired.

Something not improving right away doesn’t mean nothing is changing.

I can be a little kinder to myself today.

Some days, simply getting through an ordinary day is enough.

I don’t have to think about everything at once.

I can miss something and still keep going.

Leaving some things behind doesn’t mean I never cared about them.

I don’t have to measure myself by looking at someone else’s life.

I don’t have to fill every empty space.

I don’t have to prove anything today.

The time I take for myself doesn’t have to be useful.

Pausing for a bit isn’t falling behind.
