Eat. Sleep. Move. Repeat. 🔄
What do you do when everything inside you wants to shut down? 😔
When the pain feels too big, the situation too complex, the healing too far away? 💔
When you've been carrying something heavy for so long that you've forgotten what it feels like to move freely? 🎒
Maybe it's a relationship that ended badly 💔 A betrayal that shook your foundation 🌊 A failure that made you question everything you thought you knew about yourself 🪞
The weight sits in your chest, follows you through the day, keeps you awake at night 🌙
You're searching for the way out, the way through, the way forward 🧭
Here's what I want you to know:
You show up for yourself 🤲
In the simplest way possible.
🍽️ Eat when it's time to eat.
😴 Sleep when it's time to sleep.
🏃♀️ Move when it's time to move.
Not when you feel like it.
When it's time ⏰
I Know. It Sounds Almost... Unconvincing? 🤔
You were probably expecting something more sophisticated? ✨
A breakthrough technique that matches the intensity of your pain? 🎯
Here's the thing: we live in a one-click culture 📱
Everything delivered instantly. We expect life solutions to arrive the same way — effortless, complete, magical.
But healing doesn't work like ordering takeout 🥡
It works like tending a garden 🌱
Consistent, patient care. Small acts of love, repeated.
Why This Works (Even When Nothing Else Does) 🔬
When you're in pain, your system shifts into survival mode 🚨
Your brain can't tell the difference between the original hurt and the endless replaying of it in your mind 🔄
Every time you relive the story, your body experiences it as happening right now ⚡
🍽️ Eat. 😴 Sleep. 🏃♀️ Move.
These aren't just activities — they're signals to your nervous system: "We're safe. We can return to regular mode." 🕊️
When you show up for these basics, especially when you don't feel like it, you're proving something profound to yourself:
Even in my darkest moments, I will light a candle for myself 🕯️
But What If I Keep Failing? 😞
You will 🌊
And that's exactly the point ✨
Try again 🔄 Fail again 🔄 Try again 🔄
The magic isn't in perfect execution — it's in the process 💪
In showing up when everything in you wants to retreat into the darkness 🚪
Each time you choose to eat nourishing food, sleep when you need it, move your body — even imperfectly — you're shortening the distance between falling down and getting back up 📏
The time between falling and rising keeps getting shorter ⏱️
No Pain Is Too Different 🌊
"But you don't understand my situation..." 😤
Everyone believes their pain is the most unique, most intense, most impossible to heal from 🏔️
But here's what I know: no matter how difficult your situation feels, if you have even the smallest will to try — eat, sleep, move, repeat 🔄
This isn't about dismissing your pain 🚫 You'll still feel it 💔
This is about what you choose in the face of that pain ⚔️
Do you hurt others because you're hurting? 🌪️ Do you shut yourself away forever? 🏚️
Or do you choose to rebuild yourself — fragment by fragment, moment by moment — like a phoenix rising? 🔥🦅
The Truth About Moving Through Heavy Things 🏋️♀️
This approach won't solve all your problems ❌
It won't erase what happened 🚫 It won't immediately heal every wound 🩹
What it will do is create a foundation 🏗️
When you consistently care for your physical wellbeing — even when your heart is breaking — positive actions create positive momentum 📈
You start to feel incrementally better 🌱
With more energy comes more capacity to actually process and heal 🌿
You're not just getting "over" something 🚫
You're getting through it ➡️
And in that journey through, you discover something profound:
You are more than the person who's always kind and smiling 😊
You are who you choose to be in the face of pain 💎
Your truest self emerges through your actions, especially when everything feels impossible ✨
Start Where You Are 📍
Tonight, when sleep feels impossible because your mind won't stop 🧠💭
Tomorrow, when food tastes like nothing because your heart hurts 🍽️💔
Next week, when moving your body feels pointless because everything feels broken 🏃♀️🩹
Show up anyway 💪
🍽️ Eat when it's time to eat.
😴 Sleep when it's time to sleep.
🏃♀️ Move when it's time to move.
Not because you feel like it. Because it's time ⏰
The way through is through. And through begins with the basics 🔄
Sometimes the kindest thing you can do for yourself isn't complex healing work — it's simply refusing to abandon yourself when everything else feels uncertain 🤍
