Today’s reminder is that you are already good exactly as you are.
You don’t have anything to prove.
You can choose to expand your life through new habits and practices.
And you can choose to improve your skills.
Those things are about adding to your life, making it more fun, making it easier, making it more enjoyable, making it more straightforward, giving yourself more room in your own brain and body.
Those things are not about trying to fix yourself.
You are not broken.
You are not a project.
You are good, just as you are.
So, go ahead and add practices that enhance your life, that help you show up the way you want to show up in the world.
But please don’t think that you have to fix yourself before you get to have fun or try new things or wear what you want or work towards the things that are important to you.
I’m not going for toxic positivity here.
I’m not saying that we’re all perfect,
I’m not saying we all do everything right all the time.
I’m saying that we are good.
We don’t have to earn our place. We don’t have to earn the right to be here. We don’t have to improve ourselves.
We are good and we can choose ways to expand.
We aren’t fixer-uppers, we are ‘make this home your own.’
Here’s a simple gold star to accompany this simple (but not easy!) message today.
Your efforts matter. What you want matters. What you need matters.
You matter.
Be kind to yourself, pretty please.
