Only one can make me laugh and cry at the same time
remember, you are a very precious golden flower
breathe, smile, and never forget, you are much loved little one
- A Very Precious Golden Flower
When things get tough, take a pause.
Make yourself your favorite snack or meal, drink some water, stretch your body, have a warm bath, watch a fun movie or a comforting one, cuddle with a plushie or anything fluffy and soft. Do anything you like and finding comforting and reassuring.
Hug yourself, embrace yourself. You need and deserve that. Remind yourself you are important, even if you can't see how. You are. The little things you do that you are not aware of, they are very important for someone. And for sure, they are for yourself. Keep going.
"The body remembers, the bones remember, the joints remember, even the little finger remembers. Memory is lodged in pictures and feelings in the cells themselves. Like a sponge filled with water, anywhere the flesh is pressed, wrung, even touched lightly, a memory may flow out in a stream."
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
