You are allowed to slow down.
You are allowed to take a break every once in a while.
You are allowed to breathe.
God & Man
Letting yourself relax for the first time in a long time does not mean you are being lazy.
It does not mean you are slacking and do not deserve to reach success.
It means you are self-aware and self-loving.
It doesnt matter how desperately you want to reach your dreams.
Sometimes, the answer is not to force yourself to go-go-go.
Sometimes, you have to rest today if you want to be on your A-game tomorrow.
Do not push yourself passed your limits.
Do not fall off the ledge.
you oughta take care of yourself first.
Your sanity comes before your work.
Instead of waiting until the last possible second to give a shit about yourself, schedule me-time every week.
You have accomplished so much more than you realize, so stop telling yourself you are not good enough.
Stop acting like you have not earned a rest.You have.
Turn off your email notifications.
Put down your pencil.
Give yourself permission to enjoy the rest of the day.
Not everything has to be doneright this second.The world is not going to end if you waste one day.
Except, that is the thing.
You should not think of pampering yourself as a waste.
You should not think of self-care as a waste.
You should think of it as a necessity.
Yes, reaching success requires effort.
Yes, you have to do a lot of work if you want to make something of yourself.
You are allowed to sleep extra.
You are allowed to binge watch a series.
You are allowed to have fun or do absolutely nothing at all.
You should not feel guilty about days like that.
you oughta start caring about yourself more than everything else.
The rest can take (a close) second.
