Ongoing: Pithy Thoughts of the Past

• What you practice gets stronger.
  
• The more we care for our minds and bodies, the better we will feel about ourselves.
  
• If you're reading this, release your shoulders from your ears, unclench your jaw, and remove the tongue from the roof of your mouth. Relax.
  
• If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. - Vincent Van Gogh
  
• The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit.
  
• Don't forget, we all need help sometimes. Give yourself permission to get some help when you need it.
• When taking action, it's far more manageable to focus on reaching the first summit. No need to focus on the entire mountain!
• Winter can be tough - don't forget to be kind to yourself!
• Let's make 2020 the year we support each other's wellness.
• Taking time for yourself is not bad, shameful, or something to feel guilty about. It is a necessary part of taking care of yourself.
• Take one step and then another and before you know it, you're running. 
• You can't pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first.
• Action is often the first step - not motivation.
