it’s ok to fail - It is the times when we fail that we learn and grow

I had a terrible day

Felt like a failure no matter how hard I tried

But it was that same detour I took

Which brought me to believe

I deserve peace now

The past is gone

And I’ll make tomorrow beautiful

Sometimes what we thought we had lost is cleansed during the rain

Before the sun reveals it’s truth again

I think I would rephrase that

It's ok to have a set back or not accomplish what we had expected. It's through these times of struggle we learn and grow.

Failure is a word I try and stay away from.

Just a thought from the ocean

It's like a baby learning to walk. They get up they fall down. They don't fail, they keep trying Lesson learned... grab onto things etc..

We are all trying and we are all learning.

You are a special woman ⭐️

Thanks 🫂 I'm trying to hold on in this storm... the game starts tonight, so kind of feel like in the eye of the storm. I'm going to try to listen to myself- that if it gets too much giving myself permission to leave the table. Did get some good news... the mental health strike is over & I have therapy Thursday.

Great news on therapy Mel.

I think it's good to have a plan set up in advance. Knowing you can leave may help alleviate some of the anxiety.

Sending positive vibes your way

I wish for you a beautiful tomorrow too. I just took this adaptogen called Rhodiola Rosea for stress reduction and it has in it salidrosides which are neoroprotective properties, helps with cognitive function, and has anti- depressive effects. I’ve taken it the past and it helps me get to sleep too. Just thought I’d share.
