You are doing enough simply by continuing.
Pause, breathe deeply, and acknowledge your effort. Key affirmations: My well-being matters, and small steps count.
I allow myself rest without justification.
This moment is temporary; I have strength to move through it.

One intentional act of self-care today is progress. Take it one step at a time.
