Light The Match On Self Care

Danielle Forté | 828 Lifestyle Journals

Walking past my favorite chair while it looks at me with sad eyes to come sit. I glance and attempt to pretend not to see it. Knowing that my body and my heart need a break. I continue to do every single thing on my list. I do it until I am just tapped out. I pause when I see my candle on the table next to the bookshelf. A whisper comes to mind to just light the match and sit. I finally oblige and find myself grateful that I put things that were not urgent on the back burner. The simple act of lighting the match gave me room and permission to simply breathe. Give yourself permission to breathe.
