it’s okay to feel worn-out in recovery. you’re not going to feel like giving 100% into recovery all the time. it’s okay to just sit where you’re at to catch your breath.

If the right way is too hard, fuck it. Do it the wrong way.
Folding clothes keeps you from getting the laundry done? Stop folding clothes. Put a basket in your room and throw your unfolded clean stuff into it right out of the dryer, it's fine.
Rinsing dishes off keeps you from loading the dishwasher? Load them dirty and run it twice.
Chopping onions keeps you from making yourself dinner? Buy the freezer bags of chopped onions.
You forget to take your meds and don't want to get out of bed to get them? Start putting them next to the bed.
Can't keep up with the dishes? Get paper plates. Worried about environment impact? Order biodegradable ones online if your local store doesn't have one.
Make the task easier. Put things where you use them instead of where they "go." Eliminate the steps that keep you from finishing the task. Eliminate the task that is stressing you out.
Do it the "wrong" way. It's literally fine.

It’s important to remember that affirmations are not meant to be said just when you’re ready to believe them. We practice affirmations so that we can offer ourselves reminders of kindness and do our best to act on them. It’s okay if you can say “I deserve good things” but can’t believe it yet. The goal is to gently work yourself up until you can.

Gentle Reminder about Rest
It's okay to rest if you need it, even if you think you've already rested a lot today and still need a nap or whatever. You do not have to earn rest, it's okay to take breaks. It's healthy to take breaks even, and relax. Take your time, recoup your energy. It's fine. It will be okay.
You are valid, no matter how much or how little rest you need.

“I will breathe. I will think of solutions. I will not let my worry control me. I will not let my stress level control me. I will simply breath. And it will be OK. Because I don’t quit.”

Living you life according to your own happiness doesn't make you an immoral person.
You're not useless when you're not serving a higher purpose. It's okay if your happiness is your purpose. You're not a bad person for not being able to constantly please everyone else by being everything they need. You can pay attention to your own needs, you can prioritize your happiness. That doesn't make you a bad person.

A love that knows how to apologize. A love that knows how to show up when you’re sad. A love that knows how to listen to understand. And if they don’t know, are willing to learn.
That kind of love.
