remember to ask yourself — “what would feel good for my body right now?”

today i am choosing:

• to nourish my nervous system.
• to opt out of anything that feels like a "should."
• to replace my "i've got to" with "i get to."
• to stop rushing through my life.
• to savor the beautiful moments a little longer.
• to set my own pace.
• to be here, now, utterly and completely.
• to stop & feel the warmth of connection.
• to let go of what i can't control.
• to embrace a mindset that says i get to choose how i move forward in this life of mine.
