10 Reminders For The Girl Who Is Ready To Start Taking Care Of Herself

Elliott Dunning

Sometimes, you just need to keep learning the same lesson over and over again until it sticks.

2.You dont have to keep doing things out of obligation.

3.People will walk in and out of your life like a revolving door.

Some will stay close to you for a long time; others will drift off and disappear.

This says nothing about you, how lovable you are or how valuable your friendship is to others.

Its simply the way things go.

4.Labelling yourself will only make your process of self-discovery more complicated.

If youre growing, youre also evolving.

Youre setting new goals, acquiring new interests and developing new aspects of your personality.

Life experiences will change you let them.

5.Stand with your back straight, your head up and your eyes forward.

Even when you feel small and invisible, take up space.

Even when you dont feel strong, stand like the pillar of strength you want to be.

Keep your feet planted firmly on the ground through all the uncertainty.

Youre tougher than you give yourself credit for.

Remember that as you make your way through the world.

6.Youre the only one who is truly in control of whats possible in your life.

What we perceive as barriers to our success are often just excuses in disguise.

Success demands risk and sacrifice.

Give yourself permission to not be ready and feel relief from that.

7.Take note of your judgements about other people, circumstances and situations you find yourself in.

Before you believe them, reflect on them.

Question your thoughts and whether or not theyre doing you any good.

As author and spiritual innovator Byron Katie would ask, Who would you be without that thought?

Would you be happier?

Would you feel lighter?

Would you be more free?

8.Doing nothing is just as good as doing it all, if not better.

Doing nothing, peacefully and comfortably, is better than doing it all with chaotic and unsettled energy.

Negotiate your expectations of yourself daily.

Check in with yourself daily.

Until you might do nothing with complete ease, doing it all will never feel like enough.

9.Pay close attention to how often you reach for your phone.

How much content are you consuming in a single minute, for absolutely no reason?

Can you eliminate the process of looking at things that dont serve a healthy purpose?

Check your phone to feel connected and inspired.

Otherwise it becomes a vacuum, sucking up your time and consciousness.

10.Your love is essential.

Its the greatest gift you might give to those that mean the most to you.

You were part of their best memories and the warmest emotions that their hearts have ever felt.

You touch their soul.

Whenever possible, choose to love instead of choosing to fight, brush them off or criticize.

That way, youll never regret your words.
