Intentions for May

I’m not chasing a new version of me.
I’m committing to the one I’m rebuilding.

I’m choosing consistency over intensity.
Because burning out doesn’t prove anything.

I’m choosing to work with my body
not punish it for what it’s been through.

I’m choosing to keep showing up to the hard stuff
therapy, movement, regulation
even when I don’t feel like it.

I’m choosing boundaries that actually protect me
not ones I explain, justify, or water down.

I’m choosing to stop shrinking
to make other people comfortable with my healing.

I’m choosing to honour my triggers
not shame myself for them.

I’m choosing rest without guilt.
Because exhaustion is not a badge of honour.

I’m choosing to trust the process
even when it’s slow, messy, and frustrating as hell.

I’m choosing to take my power back in real ways
not performative ones.

And most importantly

I’m choosing me.
Not the version people expect.
Not the version that survived.

The version that’s learning to live.
