Something I have been putting into practice for the last few months is if I ever have a bad day, whenever I feel a bit “off”, I nourish that part of myself.
I do the things I need to do (all my responsibilities and whatnot), but then I allow myself to feel. Avoiding those feelings might be an easy way out, but it will destroy you later on. It is important to get whatever is going on right now out in the open.
For me, that might look like laying in bed. Or it might look like cleaning. Or it might look like cooking. It might even look like me crying for no reason and saying, “you need this. You need to hurt. You need to not be okay right now.”
It is OKAY to feel. And it is OKAY to take care of that part of you that is hurting.
Today, this is what I’m doing. I’m kind of “off” today. And I’ll be taking care of the part of me who is hurting right now
Because, if I don’t, I won’t flourish.
