It's normal to be hard on yourself, because you want to do the best you can and accomplish everything, even when your time or energy is limited. However, sometimes the criticism towards yourself is too much, and it has a negative impact on your mood and motivation. The next time you catch yourself thinking that you "should" be doing more, pause and see if that's actually helpful, because maybe you're doing as much as you can already.
It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!
this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks

you’re not selfish for wanting to be treated well
You are allowed to be proud of yourself for things that might seem small to other people.
Don’t ever let people try to convince you that you’re not a caring person because you pushed them out of your life. You’re allowed to care for yourself.
what if I decide to let the joy slowly creep into my life the same way dread does…… what then
I promise. Doing it scared will you give you the best results in the end. I’m learning to step more out of my comfort zone this year, and so far I’m proud of myself.
it’s okay to take a break
I feel so relaxed now! Thanks, random internet GIF!
in case you need this tonight.
no offense but you’re lovely and you matter a lot
Be careful with your honey, my friends! <3
don’t hate urself, hate the system that made u feel insecure about every single aspect of ur life
to name just a few that I’ve personally dealt with
-it’s ok to be living with your family over the age of 18
-it’s ok if you’ve never had a relationship, and if you still haven’t had your first kiss
-it’s ok to have cellulite. it’s ok to not to work out
-it’s ok not to have a huge friend group, or a big social media presence
-it’s ok if you’re not “conventionally” attractive bc that concept is made up!!!!
-it’s ok if you aren’t good at make up, and don’t want to be. it is not lazy for a women to go bare face.
-it’s ok if you didn’t go to parties and drink excessive amounts during high school, high school is so glamorized in tv and it’s not a true depiction. high school is NOT the best four years of your life. neither is college. you did not miss out.
-it’s ok to not know what you want to do, or change your ideas 1000 times. if you want to go back to school @ 28, do it. there is no age limit on education
-it’s ok to have body positivity for others but not yourself. you are growing.
-most importantly, you have time. you have time
