It's OK to rest 🫂 ✨

Sorry, I'm in the middle of my own storm. I can't be your umbrella right now.

It's not that I don't care. It's not that I don't want to help. But my hands are already full with my own battles, my own wounds, my own exhaustion.

I just need time-to breathe, to heal, to stand again. Maybe one day, when the rain stops pouring so hard, I'll be able to hold up an umbrella for someone else.

But today, I just need to survive.

It’s ok to rest
One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned as a mom is that rest isn’t something you earn after everything is finished. Because if that’s the rule, most of us never get to rest. There will always be another load of laundry. Another meal to cook. Another mess to clean. Another thing waiting on

Rest is essential and if you are working out everyday.. with no rest you may not see any changes, your lifts may be suffering, not able to focus as well and your having more aches and pains. It’s ok to rest… your body counts on it.

You can do anything but not everything is a reminder to release the weight of impossible expectations. Your dreams and gifts are limitless, but your energy is precious. You don’t need to carry every burden at once or prove your worth by doing it all. Life is not a race to exhaustion - it’s a journe
