Breathe...

    I spent my entire day working, planning out meal prep meals and ingredients for the week (I don't do this often, because I am a mess 89% of the time!) So don't be fooled.

    I tended to my plant babies, did some art, wrote some affirmations, stayed in bed, took a nap, listened to music and just allowed myself to breathe for a while. I am only human, I can only be stretched so far and everybody has a breaking point. I am learning how to set boundaries for myself so I don't reach this point, I am learning how to convey my feelings properly to others and trying to find the proper way to tell people no without sounding like a dick. 

    I mean, I guess sometimes being a dick is necessary, but I try my best not to cross the line. 

    The lesson today is that WE are ALL only human and can only do as much as life, our minds and bodies will allow! It's OK to slow down, it's OK to stop for a while, not to be confused with quitting though! It's OK to set boundaries for ourselves and make it clear that we demand respect and deserve a break from the bullshit every now and again. 

    Stepping away for a while today gave me the perspective I need. If people don't want to be in my life, they'll continue to show me! If they do, they'll change their ways. 

    If people truly appreciate the things that I do for them, they'll show me. And if they can't do that, then I stop, because sometimes a person wants to be on the receiving end of appreciation and gratitude.

    Always treat yourself with respect and don't accept anything less from others. Life is too short and too chaotic to feel anything less than loved and adored!
