There are those that will support you and those that won’t.

Change disrupts dynamics and can have those in your life reflect on their own life, many times not liking what they notice.

It can be easier for a person to challenge changes you’ve made than to reflect on their own life.

Your healing journey is about Y O U and your H E A L I N G. Those that truly care and support your healing will know that and have your back.

True self-care is making daily choices that build a life of long term wellness.

It isn’t something you only when you need to relieve exhaustion or stress.

Self-care is the choices you make along your life journey to create as stable of a life for yourself as you can.

It is knowing when to let go of relationships and goals holding you back so you can create new healthy relationships and goals.

Self-care isn’t sexy, pretty, easy or spontaneous.

📢 “Winners never quit and quitters never win” is bogus. 📢

So much of grind culture emphasizes “never quitting”, “keep going” “you got this” mentality but AT. WHAT. COST??

Therapist Tip:
Never, ever, should people be encouraged to endure staying in an unhealthy environment for the sake of not quitting. NEVER.

Quitting doesn’t signify failure. It can signify self respect, healthy boundaries and taking care of your mental and emotional well-being.
