~~If you're struggling, you deserve to make self-care a priority. Whether that means lying in bed all day, crying, sleeping, rescheduling plans, finding escape through a good book, watching your favorite rv show, or doing nothing at all--give yourself permission to put your healing first. Quiet that voice telling you to do more and be more, and today, whenever you do, let it be enough. Feel your feelings, breathe, and be gentle with yourself. Acknowledge that you're doing the best that you can do to cope and survive. And trust that during this time of struggle, it's enough.~~ Danielle Koepke Long quote, I know, but so very pertinent and important to hear when you're struggling. It is not OK to ignore your hurts...brush off your struggles....take care of others while putting off caring for yourself. So take the time to nurture yourself. Deep inside your soul, you know how to heal. You know how to get healthy. How to become the you that you're meant to be. Don't let your addiction win. Don't think you can't or your not worth it. Take the time you need and love yourself whole. Gentle hugs to those struggling today. You're in my prayers. Take care. Sheri
