When things start to feel out of hand, find your 'I can'.
Here's what I mean:
There are times when things can get really overwhelming in life. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed because you're facing something new or because the stress of daily tasks are starting to pile up... It's time to take a pause. That pause is important. (This is another way to practice your self-compassion. πβ€οΈ)
Pause what you're doing.
Pause what you're thinking.
Pause your personal expectations for the time being.
It's now time to prioritize YOU, not your daily tasks, not what you're working on, not anyone else. JUST YOU.
1. Ask yourself: What part of me needs nurturing THEE MOST in this moment? (Is it your body, your mind, or the part of you that is grieving, feeling exhausted, frustrated, etc.?) π«π
2. After you've identified which part of you could use some extra love and care: Find the first baby step to giving yourself what you need. Start from exactly where you are and go from there. That's the perfect spot. πππ½
I believe in your ability to take GOOD CARE of yourself. You got this! Remember to honor your capacity. If on your best day you function at 100%, and lately you have been feeling more like 10%, then you need to honor your 10%! (In reality) That 10% is your new 100%. You can only give what you have, and trust... What you are bringing to the table is enough. ππ½ππ½β¨
