🌊 When everything feels like it’s falling apart, I head to the ocean. She’s seen it all. Storms, shipwrecks, entire civilizations rising and falling.  ✨ And if she can still shimmer each day, so can I. My therapist reminded me recently to focus on what’s right in front of me.  ❌ Not the news cycle.  ❌ Not the dumpster fire on social media.  ❌ Not the things I can’t control. My community. My surroundings. My family. My friends. The tangible stuff. So that’s exactly what I did… 🫂 Outdoor concerts with neighbors all summer. 🫂 Hours at the beach with no phone 🫂 Movie dates with my husband and talking about them all weekend 🫂 Shopping at the farmer’s market and connecting with people who grow my food ❤️ When things feel too big to process, I root into what’s real around me. I’m not saying this fixes everything.  I’m not pretending I have it all figured out.  But I’ve noticed that the more I focus on the small, real moments, the less suffocated I feel by everything else. ✨ The ocean will still be there tomorrow.  ✨ The farmers’ market will open again next week.  ✨ My neighbors will join us for another concert.  ✨ And I’ll keep showing up for the little things that remind me what actually matters. You’ve got this. Even when it doesn’t feel like it. 🫶 If you needed to hear this today, save this post and come back to it when things feel heavy.
