You aren’t meant to hustle and go a million miles an hour all the time. You aren’t meant to be in survival mode all the time. You were not built to live in a constant state of to-do lists.

You were built to live, really live and enjoy the moments

Slowing down used to feel almost like a panic attack to me. I felt like I had to go 100 miles per hour to live life, otherwise I wasn’t doing it right. But life kept forcing me to slow down when I didn’t want to - until I decided to try and slow down for myself

So this love letter is dedicated to all those who are in need of slowing down, when it feels so wrong to do

Sincerely, a love letter to yourself 🤍

It’s exhausting always having to be the bigger person!

Knowing dirt on them, but not saying anything. Coming up with the best comeback, but having to say it to yourself in the shower instead of saying it to them

I mean, come on! Who doesn’t want - just once - to let go and not be the bigger person??

But on this journey, we never compromise on who we are to deal with people not worth our time…because when they go low they just show you that they’re already not on your playing field. You’ve already won, don’t sink to their level and take that away from yourself

Hear more on this episode from Miz and I on how being the bigger person can suck, but it’s worth it every time

Did you believe that struggling with your mental health made you a burden? That going through tough times meant you needed to isolate rather than lean on others? That voice in your head telling you to stop being so dramatic, or to stop feeling the way you do?

There’s so much stigma around feeling down, feeling depressed, having mental health issues, and a lot of that leads you to believe you are a burden - especially to others

I spent so much of my time struggling with mental health believing that, when that was so not the truth. It turns out the whole time you’re fighting yourself to just “be better” or to “stop feeling that”, that’s when you really needed compassion, from yourself and others
