I first had to put on some fierce clothes and then I can do some fierce sewing.
I’m not going to lie, today is a difficult day.
And sometimes it’s OK to get a slow start and it’s OK to do what you need to do to take care of yourself first, because if you feel right, you’re more able to do right.
For me that looked like taking care of my physical needs first since I have a chronic illness, but then it also looked like putting on clothes that make me feel awesome, clothes that I made myself, and also that make me feel the way I want to feel right now - which is strong instead of weak, which is sassy instead of beaten down. It is quite amazing how quickly it picked me up. I actually physically feel better now too, though I can’t quite explain that one, but the mind body connection is real, and any way that we can influence that… Well, it matters.
