The hardest time to take care of yourself is the time when you need it the most, which makes it really tricky. It's okay to stop before you're so depleted that you no longer know how to stop. 🖤💙😷🥄

If something in your life breaks because you've become better at protecting yourself, that broken thing didn't belong in your life in the first place.

It is a particularly unfair irony that when we persevere through our weakest moments, we are actually at our strongest, and yet all we feel is our weakness. We need others around us to remind us how strong we really are and that our weaknesses are not failings.

I don't put up with random people hurling nonsense at me and neither should you. Enforce your entirely valid boundaries at will. You are worth protecting.

I recently learned the saying "OSHA regulations are written in blood"
And I am sick and sad to learn this is the case for MANY regulations. Perhaps most.
The FDA came about after evidence of poisoning and demands for change.
The CDC started because too many soldiers were dying of malaria.

Exercise is a celebration of what your body can do, not a punishment for having eaten something. Pain is not a gain. Move your body when and how you can within your limits, and eat food that works for you. 🖤💙😷🥄

🚨 ACT NOW: The clock is already ticking. Trump gave Interior Sec. Burgum 90 days to decide whether Gray Wolves and Mexican Wolves lose ESA protection.
78% of Americans back wolf protections—and 75% of rural residents in wolf states.

If someone complains that you are "difficult," "stubborn," "too sensitive," or other unfriendly terms that indicate you've firmly defended your boundaries, celebrate those insults as badges of honour instead. I'm immensely proud of you for maintaining your boundaries. Well done.
