Grace Yourself

I don't know why people don't give themselves enough grace in life. I think somewhere it became "normal life" to be everything to everyone neglecting yourself along the way. I think that's why our culture is declining in life with depression, mental health issues, and physical health issues. Burnout is not ok. Take one day at a time, deal with what you can, and prioritize yourself. You don't have to be everything to everyone. Be everything to yourself.

Again, I don't think YOU give yourself enough grace in life. Grace to heal, Grace to change, Grace to evolve. With everything that constantly goes on, handling your baggage, someone else's baggage, and the mess that you inherited that you didn't ask for. And you're anxious, worried and you're beating yourself up because you feel like you should be handling it better and you don't think you deserve to be put in this situation. Or you made a decision or choice and you dealt with it or tolerated it way longer than you should have.

We aren't perfect at all, no one has it all together, and we all have our messes in life. We weren't put on this earth to be judge, jury, and executioner to ourselves. When you talk negatively about yourself regarding situations outside your control or not feeling good about yourself, your soul doesn't know the difference. Words are energy and you don't want your body to absorb that negativity. That's why grace provides you room to forgive yourself for situations where you are doing your best with what you have, allows you to evolve from situations you dealt with long enough, and allows you to step into new spaces without self-doubt. You didn't know then what you know now and from those situations, you have grown you have learned and you can be proud of yourself you are doing amazing and you did amazing. You did better than anyone would have done in your situation. What has happened, happened and God has already given you grace and provisions for it, he's just waiting on you. As long as you can say "I've done my best" or I'm doing my best" let go and let God handle it.
