A Gentle Reminder

I believe that some of us, if not most of us, already have the tools we need to navigate difficult situations. We have worked through feeling overwhelmed or figuring out what's next numerous times, and even when things don't turn out exactly how we want them to, we seem to land.

Often times, it's not that we don't know, sometimes we just don't remember. The unexpected happens and we freeze or panic because of the unknown. In those moments, we need a gentle remind.

Here are your gentle reminders for today:

1. You are enough. No matter what mistakes you have made or what you believe you don't have, you are enough. Everything you will ever need is already inside of you. You may have to dig a little, but it's there.
   

2. You are beautiful. You get to decide your definition of beauty, and it should always be you. People will have their opinions and the world does a great job of pointing out our flaws, but those flaws make you unique, unmatched, and incomparable.
   

3. You are strong. I don't say that because you don't have limitations. I say that because look at what you have conquered, overcome, and accomplished. I don't know about you, but getting out of the bed today was an accomplishment for me.
   

4. You can do it. Whatever your it is, you can and you will do it. It may take some time, you might need a little help, but as long as you are investing into it and adjusting your approach when necessary, it will happen.
   

5. You are loved. Real love frequently comes from unlikely places. You may not feel loved from the people you desire it from, but if you look closely, someone has shown you love today. A person smiled at you, and it made you feel warm and seen. Your child woke you up excited to give you a hug. Or maybe you will look in the mirror and be the one to love on yourself today.
   

6. You are not alone. Just from the simple fact that you are reading this is an indication that someone thought of you today. I am thinking of you, hoping you are well, hoping you are reaching for the things you desire the most, and hoping these gentle reminders helped you see that you already have exactly what you need.
