BRUISED BUT NOT BROKEN

To all the beautiful souls struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction or the after effects of trauma. I know some days it feels really scary, sometimes you feel isolated or misunderstood, angry or broken. I ask you to remember the truth is vastly different to the perspective the mind would have us believe. we play tricks on ourselves and get our perspective of self all twisted up and we fall victim to our own self hate. I ask you to remember, you are stronger than everything that tried to break you. you are strong enough to beat whatever is trying to hold your thoughts, to shift the negative self-talk to positive and to rebuild your self-image with a gentle loving kindness. You are beautiful, you are brave, you are strong and you are worth recovery. there is power in every "I am". choose your words carefully and allow them to strengthen you, soften you and nurture your growth. you are as perfect today as you were the day you were born, don't ever let anyone tell you any different. Leash all your own demons, Rise up , Embrace your full power and be who you have always been destined to be.
