It's okay not to be okay. ???? Not being ok is really ok. I could even say not being ok is not really not being ok, it's quite ok. It's ok because it's ok. Ok? ???? I'm getting this pillow. It's happening. And I love this company. ?@wearyourlabel - follow them. They are amazing. They are literally changing the conversation around mental illness. ❤️it. ????

It’s doesn’t matter what you do, it matters why you do it. ⚓️ Check the reason behind the action. Was it genuine? Was it empathetic? Was it mindful? ⚓️ Something so simple can bring you so much awareness. ⚓️ #checkyourmotives #selfwork #karmaquotes #karmayoga #motivations #motives

I’m 33. I don’t have children. I’m not married and I don’t have a boyfriend. □ I didn’t think I’d be here at 33. But I am. And I love it. I am exactly where I need to be. □ If we define ourselves by the milestones that everyone else around us defines as progress, then we’ll always feel behind. □ We’ll also feel like we’re not doing enough, that we are not enough. But we are. We are exactly where we need to be. □ My life’s journey took me through physical, mental and emotional steps. I see each step as growth, progress along the path of greater self-discovery.□□□□ □ Where’s your life journey taking you? What’s the meaning of where your life is right now? If you weren't defining it by others' standards, how would you feel instead? would you be? And can YOU believe you are exactly where you need to be? □□□ □ #lifepath #pathoflife #defineyourself #journeyoflife #journeybegins #successfulwomen #coffeefirst #millenials #millenialproblems #femalerevolution #lifeunscripted #awakeningoflife

Sometimes we are on top of our game and we’re out conquering the world. Other times, our success is just getting out of bed. □ Expansion and contraction are all part of the process of life. □ Exploring then Retreating. □ Try not to judge where you are in the process. Accept, learn and grow from it all. □ #expansion #beyoutiful #smallsuccess #smallsuccesses #successfulwomen #inspiringwomen #beinspired

When we own the story, we can write the ending. □ When we own it, we make it ours. We let ourselves be the one who determines our fate without succumbing to the bystanders in the crowd who may judge it for us. We don’t have to judge it, we can allow it to be. □ Owning our story means accepting what’s happened to us. Its doesn’t have to mean we define ourselves entirely by it. □ Owning our story means accepting the fears in front of us. It doesn’t have to mean living our life by them. □ Owning our story means addressing our insecurities in a kind and compassionate way. It doesn't have to mean shaming ourselves because of them. □ The more we own it, the more we can envision how we want the ending to look. The ending of each day, each hour, each moment. □□ □ #ownthelight #ownyourfierce #owntheday #ownthemoment #midweekmotivation #ownyourstory #womensupportingwomen #brenebrown #brenebrownquotes #courageworks @brenebrown @courageworks
