Day 141

Take a step back and feel the wind on your face.

Take a step back and consider how it makes you feel, how it shifts your mood, and how comforting it can be.

Take a step back to pause. Breathe deeply. Listen.

What do you hear, and where will you go next?

Take a step back and savour a moment that’s long passed but still feels like yesterday.

Take a step back and allow yourself to cry. Make room for the part of you that’s crumbling under the weight of trying to keep it together.

Take a step back and tell yourself it will be okay—no matter what, it’s going to be okay.

Take a step back to clear the disorientation of circumstance so that you can take two steps forward tomorrow.
