I would tell myself that though it's hard, I can grow to be strong enough. That I have always grown to be strong enough when I was certain what was needed of me.
Cali, this is a brilliant question. I think my future self would tell myself something you covered in a previous issue of Gentle Creative, which is to appreciate what I've accomplished with my writing so far instead of always having a longing to do more, to *be* more. It's great to have aspirations and goals but not at the expense of, as you put it, kindness towards oneself.
A good way to frame a hard time! Fun is a big one for me - filling that well up.
Such a powerful question! I need to journal with it.
Hi Cali what a great short but sweet article you’ve written. I hope you’re starting to rejuvenate and getting your energy back. Take good care ,Joy x

I would tell myself that I am capable of doing more than I thought was possible.
Great question. This too shall pass is my answer. Everything happens because you are happening. We are in a state of constant motion….keep it gentle.
