Your family is yours for life, you don’t have to like them.
The previous generation’s mistakes don’t have to continue, you have a choice.
Times have changed, women don’t have to be housewives and serve their husbands hand and foot.
Having a life away from your family is the healthiest thing you can do for yourself.
There is no perfect and why knock yourself out trying. Do the best you can.
Toxic is toxic, cut all toxic relationships and habits from your life.
Don’t overfocus on your health issues, accept them and stay on top of but don’t wallow.
If you are to move forward in life you have to quit looking back. Deal with your issues and move on. Don’t wallow.
There is no bad or good day of the week, each day is a fresh start. If you expect a bad day that’s what you’re going to get.
When life seems to be going wrong, redirect your thoughts to what is going right.
Life is short, we were never promised it would be easy and quit feeling entitled, you’re not.
Find something no matter how small that makes you happy, it’s often the small free things that bring joy.
To be accomplished in life you have to focus on others, not your own needs. That makes you self-centered.
Learning about others is a joy in itself. You never know what you have in common.
Always thank someone for a kind gesture, it also makes you feel better.
The less you judge others, the less you judge yourself.

You have learned a lot in those few years. Even if someone is dead or no contact, they still have a lot of room in your mind.

It’s all common sense that we forget sometimes and for others who can’t move on it’s just a remind they are doing self harm.

We all know them, we just forget sometimes or don’t want to do the work to move past wallowing.
