Language matters!
Speaking highly of yourself and surrounding your daily experiences with compassion creates a safe foundation for healing. The way you speak to yourself, and the language of those interacting with you, has an impact on your ability to mend. Think passion, power, and purpose. You have the power within yourself to live your best life. Be passionate about your reasons in making choices for yourself.
Embrace the knowledge of you have a purpose. Navigating the changes to a healthier life takes consistency, dedication and understanding. These choices will forever be evolving around the circumstances in your life. Even when the moments may seem insignificant, collaborating with larger decisions builds your path in achieving and maintaining wellness.
Self-spoken: Positive affirmations are key. I DO deserve great things, “I can” and “I will”. Remember you are powerful, capable and strong. Start with small strides while envisioning the best version of yourself, it will lead the way. There is no challenge that you can’t overcome. Building resilience to work alongside a past comes with a whirlwind of emotions. As a coping tool keep a journal, recognize stress, triggers and describe your feelings. In doing so, it helps build a plan to better handle or even avoid further incidents to promote less stress and better success.
Keep evoking that your past has influence while not allowing it to have the ability to overpower the present. Our prior choices, actions, and emotions were valid in moments of need. We all do the best we can with what we know. Looking back and reminiscing can bring clarity, while also stirring discomfort with confidence, self-doubt, and at times questioning our own decisions. Allow those experiences to create safe reflection. Above all maintaining the strong energy that the past is not a life sentence, but a beautiful opportunity for a lesson to carry into your next chapter.
Be selfish with your time. After all, this is YOUR life, it starts and ends with you. Agree to do things you care about, prioritizing responsibilities to yourself. If you are overwhelmed, see where you may be overextending to outside influences, and people that are in need of your time. It’s OK to say nope, not today. Make sure your inner voice is supportive of your healing and mending, speak with compassion and purpose. You are worth it.
