The first steps of healing is that we have to acknowledge our drawbacks.

That we screw up when it comes to ourselves.

We set aside that pain, be it physical or emotional.

"I'll do it later."

There are bills to pay, a family to raise, a roof to maintain.

We do this to ensure one thing; our survival. Often rather than not, later comes when it is all seems too late.

What about providing the sustenance your soul? What about observing what needs to be tended to; so you can take care of all the necessities?

What's it gonna take for yourself to realize that YOU are worth the nourishment, the recovery, the break away from the daily burdens?

It takes recognition that something is wrong.

It takes possibly for the first time in your life you to allow yourself to be worth the time to be focused on.

It takes one step in front of the other, to start your feeling better.

All it takes is one step, one time to be a little selfish, so you can start to heal.

So you can finally be thriving instead of surviving.
