Who loves coffee?!?!⁠
-⁠
This girl does not have her hand raised. 🙈⁠
-⁠
I actually can't stand the taste of coffee. I actually only like two drinks at Starbucks and neither come close to coffee.⁠
-⁠
I do love me some coffee mugs though!! Every place I travel to, I buy a mug! What's in that mug you ask? Grape juice of course!!⁠

Today is National Coffee Day and for you coffee drinkers, I hope you enjoyed your 1-10 cups today!! 😂 I'll keep using my coffee mugs for all things not coffee. 🙃⁠

This is harder for some to do than others.
-
It is important though! We all have needs and on the regular and a lot of those can go unmet. There are certainly seasons when getting your needs met is difficult because you're caring for another person, in moments of high stress, sheltering in place or something else.
-
I encourage you to take a moment and evaluate how you spend your time. Are there areas that you can use your time more wisely, so that you feel better taken of? Are there obligations that you can say no to in order to free up space?
-
You're worth spending time on!!!

Double Tap if you struggle with this! 🙋🏽‍♀️
-
We're all guilty of this, even if just on our lowest days.
-
When you find yourself doing this...PAUSE! Take TEN deep breaths. Let's remind ourselves that we mostly see the BEST & PHOTOSHOPPED version of others on social media.
-
What we see on social media is often not reality. No matter how perfect someone looks or their life looks, there are flaws, imperfections, and struggles present. Everyone is human.
-
Embrace your humanness.
