Pay attention to the stories you tell yourself about your healing, your emotions, and what you feel deserving of. They’re interrelated. Set aside a contained amount of time today to vent to your journal, cry in the shower, or scream along to your most cathartic playlist. What hurts isn’t your enemy. Sometimes, the best medicine is as simple as showing up for yourself, especially when it’s uncomfortable. Keeping what hurts company is more powerful than you think.
