Tender Tuesday 💛

You are allowed to choose yourself.

Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that choosing ourselves was selfish.

We learned to put everyone else's needs first.

To make ourselves smaller.

To wait until everyone else was okay before tending to our own hearts.

But choosing yourself isn't selfish.

, choosing yourself is:

Honoring your needs.

Protecting your peace.

Listening to your body when it asks for rest.

Trusting your heart when it longs for something more.

You do not have to earn the right to care for yourself.

You do not have to wait until you are exhausted.

You are allowed to choose your healing.

You are allowed to choose your growth.

You are allowed to choose your next chapter.

💛 Today's reflection:

What is one way you can choose yourself this week, ?

Share with me if you'd like, or hold it gently in your heart as a promise to yourself.
