There is power in letting go of anything that is forcing you to let go of yourself.
Dont ignore what you know in your heart.
Remember it is better to be alone, than to feel lonely in what youre settling for.
Natalie Allen
This year, just be kinder to yourself.
In everything that you do think of yourself like a friend, treat yourself like a friend.
And that is valid, because it means you care.
It means you care about meeting your potential, about being who you want to be.
So, promise to treat yourself like a friend this year.
You care about so many human beings as if it were the deepest extension of yourself.
You are empathetic, you have compassion for them.
You want the people in your life to experience all of the beauty it has to offer.
You want to remind them of their worth every single day.
This year, I want you to promise to do the same things for yourself.
Ask yourself :
You wouldnt.
Youd be in direct opposition of it, and you are.
So love yourself enough to be that for yourself, as well.
Would you want any of that for them?
You are your own home.
Make it a beautiful place to be.
This year, promise yourself to let go of almosts.
Promise yourself that you will stop allowing yourself to settle for less than you know you deserve.
To keep giving so much of your heart to those who do not value it.
I know how difficult it is to walk away from almosts.
Almosts shake up your heart, they make it question itself, and you dont deserve that.
Because the love you have to give someone is good love.
The love you have to give someone is deep, and honest, and empathetic.
hey, just promise yourself to let go of the people who leave your heart confused.
Let go of waiting for the people you have always treated kindly, to treat you kindly.
Let go of waiting for the people you have always treated with respect, to treat you with respect.
Let go of waiting for the people you have always chosen, to finally choose you.
Let go of waiting.
Let go of holding your breath, just hoping that things change.
Dont allow yourself to get comfortable existing in spaces where you know you deserve better.
Love is not meant to hurt.
Let me repeat that: love is not meant to hurt.
Love is not meant to be given in bare minimums.
In the good, and the bad.
It isnt an almost thing.
It isnt something you have to beg for.
There is power in letting go of anything that is forcing you to let go of yourself.
Dont ignore what you know in your heart.
Remember it is better to be alone, than to feel lonely in what youre settling for.
It is better to be alone, than to fight for someone who is not fighting for you.
You deserve good love.
Promise you will let go of anything that does not feel that way, this year.
Promise to stand up for your heart.
This year, promise to believe that nothing is too good for you.
And I know that isnt easy, because I know that the world has ways of convincing you otherwise.
In ways that have caused us to doubt what we deserve.
And I am sorry for that.
But you have to do it.
You have to have the courage to believe in things you have yet to feel.
So whenever you feel that doubt creep in, remind yourself that nothing is too good for you.
Dont convince yourself that its just not in the cards for a person like you.
Promise yourself to believe that you are worthy.
Hold fast in your hope.
You are worthy of all that is kind, and good, and awe-inspiring in this world.
Promise yourself that you will never forget that this year.
This year, promise to remind yourself of just how far you have come.
It can be difficult to connect with just how far you have come.
We pushed ourselves forward.
We managed to evolve.
This year, promise to remind yourself of just how far you have come.
Remind yourself of all of the ways you survived, when you didnt think you were capable.
Nothing in this life has ever had the ability to defeat you.
If anything tests your resilience this year, remind yourself of that.
Remind yourself of the ways in which you have saved yourself so many times before.
You have come so far.
This year, promise to stop comparing yourself to others.
And so I just want to remind you that this is human.
You are going to achieve the things you want to achieve.
You are going to find good love.
You are going to heal.
You cannot lose what is for you.
You will never miss out on the things that are meant to happen for you in life.
And go in that direction.
Have intention with it.
How can you take fifteen minutes for yourself each day?
For your goals, for your self care, for your heart how can you show up for yourself?
They arent always sustainable.
Make a micro-shift in your day, each day.
These things sound so small, but they add up.
Youre showing up for yourself.
Youre being kind to yourself.
To do something that makes you better, in even the quietest way.
And that is really special.
Fifteen minutes each day.
