11. Magic happens when my values, thoughts, and actions align.
12. This is my life. I decide the meaning I make, the story I write, the purpose I choose.
13. I allow myself to stop overcommitting my time when I don’t have the energy.
14. I don’t have to keep overlooking my blessings and compare my life to someone else’s.
15. My nervous system heals in an environment where I feel heard, not where I’m needed to fix myself.
16. I am allowed to choose silence over constant stimulation.
It’s also considered as one of the tiny habits called “adding white space" to your day that enables you to restore your energy. For example, turning off music while driving (not as bad as you think), or shutting your phone off for 10 minutes a day. The good news is, you get to define what your white space look or feels like.
17. I can pause for a moment and ask, “Is this mine to carry?”
18. I don’t have to keep treating my loneliness as a flaw.
19. I will no longer chase closure from people who refused to offer clarity.
20. I can swap my self-criticism over constant stimulation.

21. I don’t have to pursue every project, trend, goal, or invitation right now.
Start a “Not-for-now” list, and save your goals for later. Not everything needs to be a yes right away.
22. I can practice reframing a situation to view it from a different perspective.
23. I can unfollow, unsubscribe, and throw old habits, beliefs and stuff out to make space for new ones.
24. I am already picturing the version of myself that I want to become. The version that already has everything that I want today.
25. If it no longer feels right, I’m changing my mind and that’s my power.
