Reflections on 30 days (yes, that’s right!!!!) of sobriety:

It’s okay to let things, people, ideas go that no longer serve me.

I don’t have all the answers and I don’t have to!!! What a relief.

Sometimes I feel low. Bad days happen. It’s all going to be okay. Most of my days are pretty good.

Take time to rest. Take time to rest. Take time to rest.

The other day, I went for a walk. There was a light breeze rustling the leaves through the trees and it softly cooled my skin. The sun felt warm on my face. The air smelled crisp and fresh. Remember this, because these are the moments that make me feel at home within myself.

I don’t need everyone to like me or even understand me in order to feel worthy.

My version of success is different from other versions and that’s okay.

I’m not behind. I am right where I need to be.

Money doesn’t solve everything. Shopping definitely doesn’t solve everything (even though I wish it did!!!)

Surrender. Trust in my intuition - my greater She within me.

Eating nourishing foods + drinking plenty of water + getting enough sleep = can change everything.

I can’t fault myself for being honest and living with integrity.

There is serenity in solitude. I love my alone time.

Quality over quantity.

How I treat others is a reflection of me. I choose to treat others with kindness and compassion, whether they are deserving or not.

Feelings are normal: doubt, fear, insecurity, anger, hopelessness - they are signals to look deeper within myself to determine what I need. There are no “bad” feelings.

It’s okay to think before I respond.

I don’t need to apologize for existing.

Everything I have hope for, will come.

One day at a time. Sometimes, one minute at a time.

A shower always makes me feel better.

Peace, not perfection.

Each day, a little better & brighter :)

i swear, nothing is ever simple for me. it’s like even if just i casually trip over something and stub my toe i have to sit and go “hmm what childhood trauma made me disassociate to the point where i am spatially unaware of an object in front of me”

anyone else? no? ok. sigh.

honestly people were so right about how when the right people come along, the way you love them will come so naturally
