Life has a mysterious way of slipping through your fingers at times. Time will keep ticking away yet, you feel as if you are stagnant. No matter if you are ready for it or not, life goes on. In a colossal mess of due dates, appointments, and 'to-do' lists, you often begin feeling small and insignificant because the meaning of your life has become that of fulfilling those other obligations.
STOP letting yourself get to that point. We all fall victim to this mindset, trust me I have been there. But I challenge you to this..... Take time for you. Take time to recognize why exactly you have been feeling out of sorts. Take time to notice when you began loosing balance. The time you take for yourself to self-reflect and really listen to what your heart has to say is when you can recognize and dial back those negative emotions and feel comfortable with where you are at. Life is not about making those deadlines or completing a to-do list, because each of those would not exist for you if you DIDN'T EXIST. In the least cliche way possible, you are what matters most. You are in full control of your emotions and you are the only person capable of truly taking care of yourself. There is no perfect guide to life, however, if you begin letting your mental health become that of minimal importance, you will no longer be the person that you once were. PRIORITIZE YOU! Who cares about any other subjective things, because this world without the mentally present YOU, is a world that feels. dull. You come first, you always have come first, and you always will come first. Give yourself the grace and kindness that you give to everyone else when you start feeling small. Life is an unforgiving time clock and the more time you spend losing yourself the less time you will have to embrace all that makes you... YOU. There always has been, and always will be room for you in this beautiful world. Never forget it:) XOXO, Bre

Life goes on. People and events will consistently go on around you as if you are a statue in the center of chaos. However, where you decide to lie your priorities is what determines the true meaning and plot of your life. While putting all your energy into those around you is inspiring, without true love and energy put into yourself life loses meaning. The constant outpouring of energy into everyone else will ultimately drain you. You have to be sure the foundation of your own self-love and care is sustainable before you begin to disperse your energy. I am not saying that you could never place your energy into someone else, however, it is most important that your foundation is strong and healthy to be sure that you do not run yourself dry. There may be days where your foundation is strong and there may be days where you do not have enough energy for yourself to give it to someone else and that is OKAY. That is life. The ins and outs of everyday life will cause fluctuation in your foundation. However, at the end of the day, your priority must lie with yourself and your well-being.
I truly believe a life full of meaning stems from where you set your priorities. Putting yourself first will allow your emotional foundation to be stable enough to spread your energy. You deserve happiness, you deserve love, and you deserve to live a life of abundance. xoxo, Bre |
