Every day, in every way, we are inundated with information about how to improve our lives. Never being told "You're okay".
How are you ever supposed to feel like you're okay?
Do THIS to lose weight and keep it off!
Take this class to learn how to make a million dollars while you are asleep!
Make your home cleaner and brighter with THIS amazing tool!
And on and on and on…
It’s exhausting because it puts us in a mindset of needing more to be ok. Screaming at us that we are not enough. Saying that we are not healthy enough, sleeping enough, or happy enough. It tells us we aren't spending enough time with our children, our partners, our friends, or ourselves! Essentially, there is ALWAYS something lacking in our lives and we need to fix it. Now. However, I am here to tell you that you're okay.

What if I told you that you're okay?
Right now. At this exact moment. Even if you didn’t go to the gym today. Or finish the house project, or lose the weight, or clean your house, or even muster the strength to get out of bed.
I bet you don’t believe me. It feels really uncomfortable to even attempt to accept the notion that you are totally, completely, and utterly okay, NO MATTER WHAT. Am I right?
Well, that’s ok. This might be the first time you are hearing this. Especially with the daily barrage of messaging telling you otherwise. But we can get there together. And someday, you can wake up and embrace all that you are and have done already, right at that moment.
Let me say it again. You are okay! Wonderful! Spectacular! Alive! Additionally, you are the ONLY person in this universe like you. It’s a scientific fact.
To get you to believe it, you may need some time, and a little help and reminding. All those things can come from a few places:

- A Therapist - We know some amazing therapists in the area 😉
- Your Friends & Family - Only those that energize you. Your body will let you know!
- Phone Reminders - You can actually set reminders to go off throughout the day to affirm that you’re okay.
- Wellness Apps - ie) Mantra, I Am - Daily Affirmation, ThinkUp, Calm, etc.
Bottom line…
Right now. Exactly how you are, you really are okay. Say it to yourself, or out loud, or both. I am okay! Then say it again and again.
Breathe.
