If you’re carrying too much right now, this is your reminder – you don’t have to fix everything today.
Not all problems need to be solved at once. Not every worry needs to be worked through right now. Some things can wait. Some things are still unfolding. And some things are not yours to carry.
Self-care is not about having the perfect plan. It’s not about always knowing what to do. It’s about making space to breathe, to rest, and to move gently in the direction you need.
It’s okay if you’re tired. It’s okay if the to-do list is still long. What matters is that you’re showing up – slowly, quietly, and in your own way.
Today, try this:
Pick one small thing that supports you. That’s it. No more, unless it feels right. Take a walk. Make a cup of tea. Step away from something draining. Or simply pause and do nothing for a moment.
Whatever you choose, let it be something that brings you back to yourself. You don’t have to fix everything today. You just have to remember that you matter too.
Take care,
Seff
