I was vegan for ten years because I believed it. Then one day I noticed I was using it as armor.

Your daily reminder that thoughts are not facts!
Welcome the present moment + allow thoughts to float by. You don’t have to believe every thought.
Allow feelings to flow through; they’re temporary. It doesn’t feel that way when in a difficult moment but I promise it *will* pass.
Be kind to yourself when struggling. Treat yourself with compassion.
Go be your awesome self.
My mantra:
I welcome the present moment with peace in my heart.

That reflex told me something I hadn't wanted to see.
When did the rules arrive, dressed as your values?
