  1. Prioritize Self-Care

Caring for yourself is the foundation upon which all other growth is built.

You cannot pour from an empty cup; nourish yourself first.

Happiness is not found; it is claimed by those who own their choices
Stop waiting for permission to be joyful; it begins with you.

Healing is a journey, not a destination; tend to your mind as you would a garden
