Description: Trying to remind myself that everything going on right now is *a lot* and it's allowed to feel like *a lot*. I think grace can probably look like a lot of things. Right now it feels a lot like ✨ Recognizing that I am doing the best I can right now ✨ I'm learning a lot about myself, my triggers, healthy relationships--and that's a good thing, because learning means I'm growing ✨ Not only do I not have to do *all the things* every day, but it is impossible for me to do *all the things* especially right now. Really intense things take up a lot of brain space, and that has to be okay

Description: It's been an extremely difficult couple of weeks, and it's certainly taking a toll on my mental health. The other night I had my first full blown panic attack in a long time. But, I can at least recognize when I am having a panic attack now, and that's progress. And, I have a therapist, and a lawyer, and family and friends who are all supporting me through this. It's really, really hard, but I am doing my best to trust the process.
Description: Courage can look like a lot of different things for all of us. Courage can mean facing your intense anxieties and finally making that phone call, or doing that thing you've been avoiding. Courage can be standing up to the person who harmed you or is harming you. Courage can be telling your story, even when it feels like the whole world demands your silence. Courage can be simply existing in a community where you feel unsafe and unwelcome. Courage can be boldly stating your truths to people you hope will still love you afterwards. Courage can be walking away when it's time. Courage can be sticking in out even when it's hard. Courage is often the path less travelled, the choices less celebrated, the life less acknowledged and seen.
Description: Just a little reminder that you are worthy of love, of rest, of care and compassion. Things that do not determine your innate value as a human being: 🌻 your income, your savings, your debt 🌻 your education, grades, degrees, accolades 🌻 the number of your friends & connections 🌻 your social media stats 🌻 your job, your hobbies 🌻 your age, where you're from, where you live 🌻 your skillsets, struggles
Description: "You are handling things many people would not be able to manage. And you are doing great. How you talk about yourself matters. You need to turn the spotlight of compassion you so freely spread around to others, onto yourself." That's what my therapist said to me when I called myself a hot mess. I don't think I have referred to myself as a hot mess after that moment. Learning to be unconditionally loving and compassionate towards yourself takes time, but it's so vital.
Description: I am learning that it’s important for me to not be critical of my old coping mechanisms and responses to triggers. They were the result of my body and brain trying to keep me safe. So, when I go into a fear response, or I feel myself being activated, I am trying to practice noticing but not judging. The old coping mechanisms aren’t needed anymore; I’m building a safer world for myself and learning new, healthier modes of being. It’s ok if I automatically reach for an old key, but I can work on putting it down, and picking up one of the new ones.
