Some days, being a daughter, daughter-in-law, wife, mom, friend – all at once – feels like I’m failing at every single role.
Life starts to feel like it’s just… drifting by.
If I hustle for my dreams, I feel guilty for not being fully present with my baby.
If I focus on my baby, I feel like I’m not being a good wife.
If I try to do it all, my friends feel far away.
And somewhere in between, I start questioning… what’s the point of it all?
One negative thought creeps in every day.
That’s when these little reminders become lifelines.
Sometimes they help. Sometimes they don’t.
But they are my gentle pause in a world that constantly demands more.
Because I’m someone who’s always thinking of the next thing on the to-do list…
I forget how to just be here, in this moment.
So here are 7 reminders to self (which maybe you need too 🫶)— for the days when you need to breathe, slow down, and remember: you’re doing the best you can.
And that’s enough❤️
