For the first time in weeks, its quiet here this morning. I woke up a bear this morning, pounding headache, high anxiety, and tired af after a bad night's sleep. I've taken a few moments to myself to meditate, and reflect on the unusual quiet, the calm stillness of the lake. Let it fill me up, and wash away as much of the negative feelings in me as I'm able, before I start my day. It's helped. Here's to better starts for everyone. #stillness #quietplace #meditation https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GxXAGhXOw/?igshid=v1pynbn7xz53

Message of the day:

You are allowed to rest. You are allowed to say no. You are allowed to put yourself first. Your first responsibility in your life is caring for yourself. Sometimes that means doing the laundry, other times it’s taking a shower, or sometimes its canceling plans and taking some time to sleep and heal. 

Your physical and emotional health are undeniably linked. Just as you should not be expected to carry on as normal when your body is compromised, you should not expect yourself to ignore emotional pain or sickness. Treat your body and mind with kindness, no matter how small. You matter, your happiness and health matter. Fighting doesn’t mean you can’t rest, in fact, it makes it more important.

Good words from someone who wasn't able to find happiness enough to stay. Life is short. Do what you need to look after yourself, and not what others think you're supposed to. Do what makes you happy. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cep2dyfuf59o-vOJOcotDGpXh1hnlaPT4MBhRA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Early morning moonset. Right in the same spot the sun goes down. Pretty neat to see. My camera phone (or me using it) doesn't do it justice. https://www.instagram.com/p/CVP_KFmra1uMl6XVcd_6cXCerPODpF5L6Hphj40/?utm_medium=tumblr

My kid is the coolest. She spent a lot of time this past weekend working on a 3D map of her fictional city (New Asguard). The dinosaur paddock was particularly inspired. #mykidrocks https://www.instagram.com/p/ByaSrv8BpuvDW2w8zZpHwtPeLNTEcMvvhV3wV00/?igshid=aezcbdsbgxt1

How most people feel waking up everyday now, even when it actually IS Groundhog Day... #ironichumour https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzIHoOBF2RW89zm5SovtuM5uCzMkfrZ3TsRdw0/?igshid=19hq2ohh6vphy

It took me a long time to be okay with this truth. I'm there now. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmeme #anxiety #depressionhelp #anxietyrelief https://www.instagram.com/p/B2R5FR_BB64/?igshid=j9oouszbf2hw
