Life is stressful, there is no easy way around it. Whether it’s school, your job, mental/physical health, or politics, something is always hurting. Because of this, the start of a fresh week can feel less like a new beginning and more like a race to finish in your best time.
As cheesy as it is, life should not be about waiting until it’s done, but embracing every moment you experience. Both the good and the bad.
Recommended for you
No matter the stress in your life, no matter the questions you cannot seem to answer, no matter the obstacles the world has thrown in your way, take a few minutes to re-empower yourself. Don’t become someone who complains about the ending of every weekend, or the start of every week.
Yes, we are tired and overwhelmed; but we are strong and capable, and our fullest potential begins when we feel our lowest.
Embrace the start of a new week with a deep breath and a few reminders to keep your body and mind in check.
Someone Will Always Listen
You are not alone, ever. Even the most unlikely person can be a sturdy shoulder. Sometimes, all you have to do is ask.
Do What You Need To Do To Feel Better
Sometimes we get so caught up in our agendas that we neglect our most valuable asset: our self. Get the therapy you need, whether it be a trip to a physician, a cuddle with a puppy, or a 4-mile hike. Taking care of yourself is never wasted time.
Embrace Yourself
Don’t follow the crowd because “it’s easier.” Go play a little soccer in the park, wear blue lipstick to the grocery store, however you want to roll. Your life is yours, so be a little weird.
Your Voice Does Actually Mean Something
Domino effect is real; making shit happen starts with one person. You are a real, valid person with a voice that can reach the ends of the world. Don’t be afraid to let people hear it.
Your Gut Is Usually Right
Every creature has a natural feeling when something is bad, but humans are especially guilty of second-guessing ourselves. Listen to what your body and heart tell you; if it feels wrong, it probably is.
Nothing is Impossible, Really
Every so often, we get handed the epitome of a hopeless cause. 99.9 percent of the time, all those tasks require is a strong cup of coffee, a clean desk, and a plan. You got this, dude.
Take care of yourself, be proud to be who you are, remember that you are only human.
You are capable of so much in seven days. If no one else tells you, I believe in you.
Have a beautiful week.
