🌹 SHE IS HEALING, EVEN ON THE DAYS SHE SIMPLY RESTS.

Let’s be honest, healing isn’t always pretty, positive or particularly productive!

Some days it’s getting up, getting washed and managing to function like a normal human being. Other days it’s pyjamas, a duvet, a bit of peace and absolutely no intention of entertaining the world! 😂

We put so much pressure on ourselves to keep going, keep smiling and keep being strong. But sometimes we’re physically and emotionally exhausted and there’s nothing wrong with admitting it.

I’m learning that resting isn’t failing. Taking a step back isn’t giving up and I don’t have to justify needing a day where I do absolutely bugger all.

Between everything life throws at us, sometimes just getting through the day is an achievement in itself.

BUT… don’t mistake my slumber for doing nothing! 😂

Whilst I’m tucked up resting, my brain is still ticking away (although whether it remembers any of it tomorrow is another matter! 🤦‍♀️).

I’m already setting goals for the week ahead, both personally and for SBQ. Things I want to achieve, plans I want to put into motion and little steps towards bigger things.

I’m not giving up on the things I want just because I need to slow down sometimes.

I’m still building, still dreaming, still learning and still figuring things out. Just occasionally doing it horizontally! 😂

So if you’re having a rubbish day, struggling physically, emotionally or just feeling a bit lost, please give yourself a break.

You don’t have to conquer the world every day. Sometimes you just need to recharge before having another go at it.

Rest if you need to. Cry if you need to. Laugh when you can. But don’t give up on yourself.

We’re works in progress, not finished products.

And as for me… I’ll be resting today, planning tomorrow and probably writing myself a list I’ll forget I’ve made! 🤣

❤️ SCARS BUILD QUEENS.

Because even when we’re resting, we’re still becoming. 👑🌹
