Each person has their own unique list of things that bring simple pleasure, feelings of pure joy, or just a sense of comfort each day. If you ever get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life, you know how out of touch you can get with the things that really matter. But you actually have plenty of things to be grateful for, regardless of the circumstances in which you may find yourself.
Welcome to my boards and thank you for following me. No Pin limits. Sharon

A lot of people struggle with their mental health, and if you're one of them, that's okay, and it's okay to talk about it.
It's okay if you're not okay, scared, mentally ill, imperfect on the inside and outside, uncertain, and different. It's also okay to be your unique self. Mental illness stigma may tell you that some of these things are not okay, but stigma is BS.
You Are Allowed...

Self-compassion involves kindness, self-forgiveness when we make mistakes, and showing ourselves the same compassion that we show others. While it may seem like your inner critic is more likely to help you do better than treating yourself with compassion, think of what kind of coach you'd find most helpful – one who takes a supportive approach to helping you do better, or one who's always putting you down. Self-compassion is a powerful coping tool.
You're just as worthy of love as anyone else in your love. Love for yourself might not be as exciting or passionate as the love you feel for others; it may feel more like cozy old well-worn flannel pyjamas that may not be pretty, but they're the most comfortable thing that you own.

Self-improvement is a popular topic, but maybe the basic concept of that is flawed. While there's always room for growth, the idea that you need to improve yourself implies that there's something wrong with you the way you are now. But you are enough. Yes, you. Imperfect you. Exactly the way you are.

You Are Enough

You're Worthy of Self-Love
We're each as worthy of love as the other people in our lives, but self-love can be harder to find. Self-love doesn't necessarily feel the same way that loving others feels; it can be more like well-worn comfy PJs than a fancy outfit. What might self-love look like for you? I talk about my own version in the linked blog post.
