It’s enough. You are enough.

Quiet the voice telling you to do more and be more, and trust that in this moment, who you are, where you are, and what you are doing is enough. You will get to where you need to be in your own time. Until then, breathe. Breathe and be patient with yourself and your process. You are doing the best you can to cope and survive amid your struggles, and that’s all you can ask of yourself. 

It’s enough. You are enough.

My favourite therapist says some things are just our legacy. He says we cannot change who our parents are, the socioeconomic scenario were were born into, our genetics, etc. He says if we can remember that, we have a better shot at accepting and recovering from what comes up in our lives. He also believes that we’ll have better quality relationships and greater fulfilment in life if we enlist the help of a professional when life gets really tough. (I have committed to seeking help over the years and wow, game changer). Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
