This week has completely passed by and I was completely unaware.
I can’t recall anything that happened this week, I’ve just been in such a mental fog that time just passed by and I was still mentally stuck on “wait, what’s today?”

I can’t lie and say I haven’t been struggling because if you know me personally, I’ve been off. I’ve stayed off my phone, deleted some social media apps, and just dove right into reading self-help books again. I’ve noticed myself falling back into old habits and I’m doing what I can to stop myself and go back to being better not only for myself but the people I surround myself with. I, personally, feel as if I haven’t been the best mentally. I’m not in the moment and understanding what I’m saying or doing, it’s just a blur and I don’t want it to be like that. I want to give you my full, undivided support and attention into whatever it is you’re telling me or doing. I want to be excited with you and send you the best love I can.

But I can’t do that if I’m not doing it for myself. I always find myself pouring from an empty cup. I want to give and give and give to everyone else except myself. It’s so difficult to actually sit there with those thoughts and make yourself aware of that. You don’t want anyone to feel any less because you’ve felt that and it’s not something anyone else should be dealing with, let alone the people you love the most.

I’m just really writing this as a reminder to you, and myself, that to love others is to love yourself.

Take a breath, release the tension in your shoulders, say your favorite affirmations, drink your water, and start fresh this week. <3
