A New Way Back

You don’t need to overhaul your life or love every part of yourself overnight. Start here: 1. Practice Permission Today, can you give yourself permission to rest before you’re completely depleted? To eat something nourishing without guilt? To soften without earning it? 2. Create a Mini Body Ritual Choose one small ritual you can return to daily: Putting one hand on your heart and one on your belly before bed Standing barefoot outside for 3 minutes Massaging lotion into your arms with intention Drinking your tea slowly without multitasking It’s not about doing more. It’s about noticing more. 3. Write a Letter to Your Body Try this journaling prompt: Dear Body, I’m sorry for... Thank you for... I want to begin again by... You might cry. You might resist. That’s okay. Let it be messy.
