I Know I Say This A Lot, But Please Listen To Your Body And What You Need. Sometimes A To Do List Needs

I know I say this a lot, but please listen to your body and what you need. Sometimes a to do list needs to be thrown out of the window, and the overall planning ahead must change a bit. You will be alright. If it is rest you need, then please rest. If it is going outside you need, please go for a walk. If you need company, then see someone, but if you cannot see anyone, call a friend or do a facetime hang (watching a movie like that is actually fun). Ask yourself what you truly need and listen for the answer, and go with the answer that feels right to you. It is hard to listen to ourselves, but I find it is too something that gets easier with practice. 🌸

Honesty pisses people off sometimes, but it's better that you be honest than the type to tell everyone what they want to hear. Make your feelings known, ask for what you want, and tell situations gently as they are.

You define your boundaries. You and you alone.🤍
