And then I chose myself… 🌸

#dailyaffirmations #books #self love ❤️ #puttingmyselffirst

2/18 Edited to

Choosing yourself is one of the most powerful decisions you can make in life. It's about recognizing that growth isn't betrayal or abandonment, but a natural and necessary part of evolving into the person you want to become. From my own experience, I’ve found that daily affirmations help reinforce this mindset. They remind me to honor the person I was yesterday for helping me reach today, while giving myself permission to change and evolve. One affirmation I practice daily is reflecting on my journey and embracing who I am now, rather than clinging to who I was. This has helped me let go of guilt and fear associated with change. It’s important to understand that putting yourself first doesn’t mean neglecting others, but prioritizing your well-being so you can show up as your best self in all relationships. Books and resources about self-love and personal growth have been invaluable in guiding my journey. They offer practical strategies and inspire self-compassion, making the abstract concept of growth feel accessible and achievable. Whether it’s setting healthy boundaries, learning new skills, or simply affirming your worth, choosing yourself paves the way to a fulfilling and authentic life. Remember, evolution is not betrayal—it's a courageous step forward. Celebrate your past self for getting you here, then embrace the exciting opportunity to become someone new, someone who puts themselves first and nurtures their own happiness.

For almost 9 years, I kept choosing him. No matter what he did, I stayed. Every apology felt sincere. There were so many highs… and just as many devastating lows. Even when I knew I should leave, I couldn’t. That’s what a trauma bond does. In the beginning, he was everything I thought I

A stylish shelf with various decorative items serves as a background for text describing the onset of a "funk" at the end of 2024, characterized by feeling drained, stuck, and disconnected.

getting myself out of seasonal depression ❤️‍🩹

i guess you can say, this funk was extra funkyyy and lasted much longer than the low seasons i've had in the past. fortunately, it wasn't so bad to where i stayed in bed all day, but it did get to the point where i had no motivation to do anything, and when i did take action, i felt numb.
