You deserve a relationship with your body that feels kind, not critical — one that sees change not as inconsistency, but as flow.

Rest is not a reward. It’s a regulation tool. You don’t have to earn your right to slow down.

Taking a breath, resting, saying yes to your needs — this is not selfishness. It is survival. And it is love.

Anxiety is not your enemy. It is a messenger that can guide you toward safety and self-care.
