How are you doing today?

I think that today I am about a 5. Which honestly, is a little low for me lately. I'm feeling drained and exhausted. I have a whirlwind of mismatched emotions that feel heavy. Confining. Laborious.

Hard things are happening. In my life, in my home, in the world. And today I'm reminding myself of two things.

#1 - It is absolutely ok to not be ok.

#2 - Self-Care is an essential need. It's not an optional part of life. Humans have essential needs. Air. Water. Food. Shelter. Sleep. Safety. Clothing. Self-Care.

Today I will be doing some painting, soaking in some epsom salts, and being extra gentle with myself.

I'm going to spend some quality time with Dragon.

One day at a time.

We can do hard things.
