Start with loving yourself 🌺✨❤️

One small step at a time to get back to you 🙏❤️

Fall in love with your life. Not all at once. Just a little at a time.

Maybe it starts with waking up a bit earlier, just enough so you’re not rushing.
Make your coffee the way you like it, and actually sit and enjoy it.
Step outside for a few quiet minutes. Take a slow walk, even if it’s just around the block.
Eat something that feels good and not just something that fills you.
Put on clothes that feel right to you. The kind that make you feel steady, relaxed, and like yourself.

None of this feels like a big deal. But it adds up.
You start with one or two small things, and then you find yourself doing more.
Before you know it, they’re just part of your day.
And slowly, you’re not just getting through the day and you’re actually living it.

So skip the big reset. Don’t wait for the perfect moment.
Look for the little ones instead.
Because that’s where life really happens.

Today to celebrate World Kindness Day, start with kindness to yourself. Think of one good thought about yourself and a positive intention for your day ❤️ Then think of one kind thing you can do for someone else either family, friend or complete stranger - something as simple as a smile or a hug can lift someone's day and is proven to lift your own mood and energy. Happy kindness day ❤️🤗

Beautiful ❤️ well worth a read 🙏❤️ I so agree - I can forget all the troubles of the world and calm my soul just by walking in nature or getting out in the garden which I try to do most days 🙏❤️

YOU ARE NATURE

There is a reason why walking amongst nature is most people’s best advice when depression strikes.
Because walking in nature is a return to ‘home’.
You are not a lover of nature, or a fan of nature, you ‘are’ nature.
You are as much nature as the trees in your garden and the bees on your picnic.
You were designed to live your days out in the wild with your fellow creatures and plants but progress, humanity, had different plans for us all.
And so we exist day-to-day, in our homes, but never ‘home’.
The quickest route back to self, to inner peace, is bare feet on grass, arms around trees, head in the clouds and heart in a forest.
Put your bones in water, whenever you can, smell each flower you see and crumble dirt between your tired-of-typing fingers.
You are nature, go home once in a while.
It will bring you much you didn’t even know you were missing.
