"I don't know what to do". "I feel like I'm in a rut". We've all been there at one point or another. Fear. Stress. Unhappiness. Confusion. Insecurity. Whatever it is you're feeling, I'm here to tell you I've been there before. But more importantly - it gets better.

"Breathe. Let Go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure." - Oprah

"It is important from time to time to slow down, to go away by yourself, and simply be." - Eileen Caddy

Slowing down to practice self-care is something I cannot stress enough! Whether that means putting on a face mask or watching one of your old favorite movies, granting some time to yourself will actually help you feel better. Your clarity of thought will come back into focus and you'll feel like yourself again.
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts" - Winston Churchhill

"Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are" - Theodore Roosevelt
