It’s ok to struggle. We are emotional human beings that live in a world that provides us with beauty, happiness and love, as much as it provides us with challenges, heartache and sadness.
What makes us unique beings in this universe, is the depth of emotions that we can feel, both in positive aspects, but also at times with negative impacts.
The beauty of positive and negative experiences, is the takeaways from those experiences and what we learn.
We learn from the positive experiences about what builds us up, empowers us and bolsters our emotional bank balance.
We also learn from the negative experiences about what we do not want to experience again, what we will not accept in our world and we become knowledgeable, through exposure to those negatives, about how to tackle those triggers that occur from exposure to those negative elements, in order to mitigate the negative impacts and avoid becoming emotionally bankrupt.
For those of you that are struggling right now.
Repeat after me.
I am not perfect. However, I am a beautiful human being, and I am enough.
I acknowledge my flaws, but they do not define me. My worth is not measured by my mistakes but by my resilience, my growth, and my capacity to love and be loved.
I am a work in progress, and that is okay. I am allowed to learn, to stumble, to rise again, and to keep moving forward. Every step I take, no matter how small, is a victory.
I choose to be kind to myself. I deserve compassion, not just from others but from myself as well. I am worthy of the love and respect I so freely give to others.
I am allowed to set boundaries, to say no when I need to, and to protect my peace. My needs and feelings are valid, and I have the right to honour them.
I am strong. I am capable. I have faced challenges before, and I will face them again with courage and determination. I trust myself to navigate through life’s uncertainties and to emerge even stronger on the other side.
I am not alone. There are people who care about me, who support me, and who want to see me thrive. I am part of a community, and it is okay to reach out for help when I need it.
I am deserving of happiness, of joy, and of all the good things life has to offer. I do not need to be perfect to be worthy of these things. I am enough, just as I am.
I will continue to grow, to learn, and to evolve. But today, in this moment, I am exactly who I need to be. And that is more than enough.
