Just As You Are

Right now! Not when you reach that goal, or stop that habit, or feel differently, or achieve more, or "fix" yourself, or have more, do more, be more, or work through your past, or get through this current hardship, or get seen and acknowledge by others.

No, right now, in this very moment, and always, no matter what, YOU are MORE THAN ENOUGH, just as you are.

You can't earn it. You can't loose it. It's who you are. You've always been enough and you will always be enough. Regardless of anything external or even internal - it's in the fabric of how you were woven together.

So right now, let's lift our gaze from criticizing ourselves, from putting such unrealistic expectations on ourselves, from punishing ourselves, from being the bully in our head, from staring at what's not working... and really embrace ourselves, just as we are.

We may be broken, stained, exhausted from fighting with ourselves and trying to prove our value... but we are also worthy, beautiful, purposeful, needed, loved, and yes, more than enough, just as we are.

Who else needs to lift that heavy trap door of trying to be everything for everyone, trying to "fix" yourself, prove yourself, put down yourself.

We can be our biggest advocate or our worst attacker. You choose.

So right now, ✨IMAGINE you were speaking to your best friend, and what would you say to yourself? ✨ How would you remind you that in this moment, you are more than enough? Let's share and encourage each other - we're all in this together.

Right now, I would say/am learning that,💕"you are doing the best you can. Rest girl rest. That's what your season is about. Stop trying to fight it. You are enough without doing anything. You are not failing. Let waves of love crash over you - stop trying to swim to the surface and dry off. Sink into love. Breathe. Rest. Stop putting so many expectations and shoulds on yourself. Just rest in love."

What would you say? 💜Ruth x
