“Yesterday is heavy. Put it down.”

No matter what happened, our perception of it is usually far worse than the reality, because our emotions get involved.

When we get emotional, our brain gets clouded to see things clearly, and usually we attach a far worse outcome than what actually happened.

Just being aware of this is very helpful, right?

I know when I remind myself of this, tell myself to breathe, and let myself get a night’s sleep, the next day I usually see things much more realistically.

Putting everything into perspective helps me to see my next steps, because when my mind is clouded with strong emotions, I just can’t see any good solution!

Knowing this now has helped me to lay off my old habit of beating myself down with harsh words. I can give myself some breathing room, telling myself that when my emotions cool off I’ll get it figured out.

Beating ourselves up only makes our brains cringe inwardly, reducing our ability to cope exponentially!

Please keep this in mind for yourself!

You deserve to give yourself some space mentally and emotionally!

Whatever has happened, you will be able to deal with it and work it out far better when you approach it more peacefully!

• When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
• Nobody talks about this part… these are called growing pains.
• Is suffering necessary? Yes and no.
• Respect your body when it’s asking you for a break. Respect your mind when it’s seeking rest.
• Do not become small for people who refuse to grow!
• Don’t be afraid to start all over again. You may like your new story better.
• An authentic life does not require anyone else’s approval for your creative choices
• Just because you’re struggling does not mean you’re failing
