CRITICALLY ENDANGERED.

This species was first described in 2001, and since then only a few live specimens have been found.

The area of Mexico where they live has experienced widespread habitat disturbance from logging, farming, and settlement.

I am healing for me.

I am not healing for work. I am not healing to return to being a productive member of society.

I am healing for my own stability, wellness, health and contentment.

KH4 WHEN

If you didn’t manage to do all the things you were supposed to do today, it’s okay.

If you didn’t finish your to-do list, it’s okay.

If you had expected to finish more tasks than you actually ended up finishing, it’s okay.

If you weren’t able to do something you had planned on doing, it’s okay.

You don’t have to beat yourself up about not being as productive as you wanted to be.

You don’t have to feel guilty about struggling more than you expected to.

You don’t have to feel bad about not being able to do everything you wanted to do.

You don’t have to blame or hate or judge yourself for having an off day.

It’s okay. It happens.

You’re allowed to forgive yourself, enjoy some rest and then try again tomorrow.
