I’m tired and in bed before I have to get up for work, and just wanted to take a moment to jot down some random thoughts I’ve had recently:

• peace and calmness can feel odd or off to someone who has experienced a lot of anxiety and hyper-vigilance
• if you’re taught that everything is scary and is the end of the world, that makes sense why you’d think that. however, we can still unlearn / de-program those concepts that aren’t actually helping us
• sometimes it feels like our brains are actively working against our healing journeys and that’s because they’re wired for survival.
• I don’t need apologies from those who have hurt me- I apologize to myself for not speaking up and setting boundaries when needed.
• we judge people we love because we want better for them, yet we get mad when people judge us or tell us how to live our lives because we know what’s best for ourselves. (plot twist: they already know, it’s just hard to change and develop new habits)
• life on earth includes oceans, sunsets and sunflower fields, friendships, true love and hugs: it’s not all bad here
