Slow Down! (#119)

Be patient with your process. Be kind to yourself and know that learning and growth comes with time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, right?

Today I’m Grateful For…

Going to the gym and getting dinner with my friend Peter
Talks about the universe
Calming instrumentals
Walks around the pound with my Grandma as a kid
Gratitude
The sunshine
Clean teeth and a clean apartment
Support in all its forms
Good communication
Funny cat memes on Reddit
Learning new things
Time for reflection
Friends from home
Soccer practice after school
Coaching my own soccer team
Intramural championships at BSU
Good advice
Peanut butter
A couple deep breaths
Getting stuff done
My parents and my siblings
My safety and security
The Universe and the unknown that exists within it
Tools for good mental health
This very moment

As always, check out my first blog, 25 Things I’m Grateful For (#1) to know why I’m writing this list and why I want you to start yours.
