Choice

There is more to be grateful for than there is to complain about.

Yes, I am having a hard time. Yes, I feel overwhelmed.

Stop. Breathe.

I can choose to be here for myself. What do I need?

I want to keep going, but I need to rest.

I am learning to support what I need instead of what I want, without judgment.

This is how I take care of myself.

I can feel the pain, anger, and frustration, but I do not need to ruminate and suffer.

I have a choice.
