Dear Me,
You should have been loved better. I'm so sorry you weren't. But I promise you that you'll grow beyond that pain. You’ll actually do something kind of beautiful with it.
Love, Future You

If you’re starting or have been on a sobriety journey here are some affirmations you can use to celebrate:

✨ I am brave, capable, and loved.
✨ My past doesn’t define my future.
✨ My recovery happens in moments, not milestones.
✨ I do not need alcohol to be happy.

It's not too late to dream, to ask for help, to see the good.

Loving yourself isn’t easy, not because you aren’t easy to love, but because we've been taught that it's wrong to do so. Our Move For It 5K+ is centered around the reminder that you ARE worth the effort---your mental health DOES matter.

“Most recently, within my own mental health regimen, I returned to therapy after a six-year hiatus. As my counselor and I unearth some suppressed emotions and experiences, I have found myself relying heavily on two outlets: journaling and walking.” wrt.lv/3TJGp8b

A single moment is what adds up to become the eventual milestone. This moment, right here, matters. You can focus on the tiny step before you. You can do it all—life, healing, recovery—full of winding paths and wavering inclines—just one day at a time.

You don’t have to prove your worth. You are enough exactly as you are.

Episode #3 of Back to the Basics is live on YouTube NOW! ✨

We’re getting personal. We’re sharing our stories about the earliest days of our mental health journeys, including our experiences with counseling—the good, the bad, and the ugly. Watch now at youtu.be/wW51fE-pHgc!

“Journaling allows me to give these emotions meaning, to put language to the feelings. The words I jot down let the emotion exist outside of my body and mind. But that acknowledgment isn’t really enough. In order to be released, they need to be expressed.” wrt.lv/3TJGp8b

The world is better because you’re in it. Please stay.

“Movement gives us the opportunity to quite literally move the energy created by our emotions through and hopefully out of our systems.” wrt.lv/3TJGp8b

“When making your mental health a priority, remember your physical health is woven into the fabric of that complex tapestry. Your mind talks to your body, & your body talks to your mind. I would even consider them to be friends when given the chance.” wrt.lv/3TJGp8b

“Whereas I’ve been taught in the past to see anger of any kind as shameful (surprise, there is something known as healthy anger), I was now allowing myself to feel, express, and process what had been suppressed.” wrt.lv/3TJGp8b

“Storms make trees take deeper roots.' – Dolly Parton

When we think of mental health, we sometimes stop at things like talk therapy, journaling, and medication, but the mind-body connection is essential. TWLOHA Editor Becky Ebert explores all of this in “Expressing + Processing Emotions Through Movement': twloha.com/blog/expressin….
