I made a little book of Permission Slips to put in the Grounding Box I’m in the process of making. The Permission Slips are based off of this post by recoveryisbeautiful. I’m going to make a “You are allowed to make mistakes.” one too but I don’t want it to be hidden away in a book. It’s the thing I need to work the most on for myself so I want it to be displayed prominently!

I’m tired of people romanticizing overexertion. Exhausted is not the new chic, coffee (though a delicious necessity) is not a food group, and running on fumes is not admirable. Why do we hold pedestals for sleepless nights, breakdowns, and inner turmoil? Are those really things to aspire to? Self-care. Balance. The ability to know when your body, mind, and spirit need to take a step back. Those are things we should admire. We have to stop blurring the line between ‘commitment’ and self-endangerment because too many people are burning out before they have a chance to truly shine.

my opinion on the way we envision hard work and the way we should live life  (via runningmandz)

so true…
