It’s OK to not be OK

You’re allowed to feel. Cry. Scream. Hibernate. It’s OK to express your emotions. Crying and being vulnerable are not weak. Vulnerability is brave and courageous, being a role model for others.

Being OK with not being OK helps to reduce the stigma. You don’t need permission to listen to your body, rest if you need to. It takes a lot of energy to try and be OK all the time.

Eat a cookie in the shower if you want. 🤷‍♀️ I did. Why? Because I can! And I’m OK with not being OK.

Sending you all much love and light this Australian evening. 🥰

Katie
