How long have you let the same heaviness weigh down your heart?
Let those three words soak into your pores, through your skin, into each and every cell.
Right now, you have a choice.
Louis Amal
Right now, you have an opportunity.
This is your reminder that today is new.
That today is not yesterday.
No, its not easy to just shut off your mind.
Today you might choose to see light, rather than darkness.
Today it’s possible for you to give yourself hope instead of closed doors.
Louis Amal
Open your eyes and breathe deeply.
Is there something to be thankful for?
Is your heart beating, your eyes seeing, your limbs still nimble and strong?
If not, is there light coming through the windowpane?
Can you remind your reflection that who you are is not defined by this human body?
That the most beautiful thing about you is what is unseen?
Shake your fingers, your arms, your toes.
Find something comfortable to wear.
Quiet the voices that tell you you arent good enough.
Tell yourself youre doing alright.
Youre taking little steps.
Youre standing and moving and breathing and sometimes that in itself is more than enough.
Tell yourself today does not have to be a repeat of what was.
So make a run at live right here.
Think of your next choiceIs it breakfast?
A walk to the store?
A run to the bus stop?
A short drive to your childs school?
A lazy trip to the computer in your next room?
What do you have to do today?
Is it something concrete that you could focus on your attention towards, and let everything painful slip away?
Can you behere,today?
And love your heart enough to slowly let it heal?
Today is open and free, ready for your feet to walk upon, your hands to touch.
So why dont you stand up, step forward, and start again.
