Now my space is serving me and not the other way around.

True skill building can only happen in an atmosphere of profound self-compassion and gentleness.

It is impossible for the kindness or affirmation of others to penetrate your heart when you are thinking, “if you only knew…”

So if you ever actually let yourself sit down and rest, you’re feeling shame and thinking, “I don’t deserve to do this. There is more to do.”

You do not need to be good at care tasks to learn how to develop a compassionate inner dialogue.

It’s stressful to try to summon up 100% motivation sitting on the couch. Let yourself use 5% motivation to do 5% of the task.

Harm reduction is always ethical.

You cannot jump right to community harm reduction before first addressing individual harm reduction

Care tasks are a never-ending list, and if you wait until everything is done to rest, you will never rest.
