Why it's ok to not be ok!

Today I am giving myself the permission to not be ok! With so much talk and information about mental health, sometimes it can feel like if we're not doing positive affirmations and embracing our emotions in a healthy way, then we don't deserve to be happy! 

Today I have decided to chuck all of that out of the window and embrace the lazy, crazy, chocolate-loving, self-wallowing version of myself, in a bid to just give myself a break! Because the truth of it is, being ok actually takes so much effort! 

Now, don't get me wrong, it's absolutely 100% worth it: so much so that I have dedicated my personal and professional life to connecting with the things we need to live our lives more fully! I spend each and every day walking alongside people whilst they figure out what they want and need. Being ok is GREAT and fills you full of all the warm, fuzzy feelings that we all love to experience, but, just for today, I can't be bothered! 

Today I need to be tired, sit around getting over-emotional at Instagram videos and slowly make my way through a big bag of giant chocolate Buttons. 

Who knows why? Maybe it's being over-stimulated over the weekend; maybe it's hormones or maybe it's the Mercury/Pluto/Moon or Sun in retrograde.....The simple fact is that if I want to be ok tomorrow I definitely need to be not ok today!

Being not ok from time to time; allowing ourselves the freedom to actually do what our body and soul are really craving, is just as much self-love as all the other positive steps that we take to keep ourselves connected and aligned with the life that we truly want and deserve. 

So, if today is one of those days for you, welcome it in and make space...it's ok!
