I got goosebumps while reading this. I can relate. Why are we so hard on ourselves? Why is it so difficult to just remember that the Universe has our backs and we are held and safe? I am constantly reminding myself to enjoy the journey and know that every moment is a lesson to help me discover who I truly am. I can tell you are blessed with a brilliant mind and a deep soul, and sometimes that means you internalize more. Love yourself and always be compassionate with yourself because you are always doing your best and that's all we can ask of ourselves. It always works out exactly as it's supposed to. We just have to relax into it.

Progress not perfection! Congratulations … you’re rocking it though and that’s worth celebrating. A pass is a pass … grades truly stopped mattering after school for me.

Congratulations on passing your first semester! I found the only way to defeat my loud negative thoughts was to say the positive ones even louder right after ❤️💐

I'm here to tell you with time your brain does rewire itself and you get less and less negativity. I know for some months it felt so silly and I didn't think I was making progress but it's been a year and 6 months of me actively working on it and Ive noticed my kids and my boyfriend will just affirm themselves loudly out of nowhere (to me) or apologize to themselves for "saying something mean".

You've got this!

I love that and that is where I aspire to get to! Having people call me out on it and also using this app called Finch has reallyyyyyyyyy made me realize when I’m doing it. Thank you so much for the encouragement!
