Reminders

June 15, 2019 by not your average mom 3 Comments

Today was a challenging day.

A day where I have needed to give myself the following reminders:

I am doing the best that I can. We are all doing the best that we can.

Nobody knows what’s going on behind closed doors except for the people behind them. AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT A PERSON IS GOING THROUGH.

The only person you can force to acknowledge the truth is yourself.

Everyone fucks up. EVERYONE.

Owning your fuck ups is one of the most powerful things you can do.

Empathy is not something to be reserved for certain people only. Neither is forgiveness.

I am in control of my thoughts and I have the ability to manage them.

Being angry is exhausting. So is worrying.

Mistakes are opportunities for growth.

I’m okay with people being wrong about me.

If you had a rough day today — whether you were on the receiving end or the giving end — I want you to know I get it. I’ve been in both places today!

And maybe these will help you out, too.

    Sorry it was such a hard day. I feel your pain and you’re speaking my truth from this entire week. Being angry (even being angry with oneself) is definitely exhausting and laying it down takes intention. Tomorrow’s a new day and here’s to a better week! 😊
