I want everyone to know that progress is still progress
you achieved that goal you set for yourself, you deserve to celebrate and feel happy about it you did that for you and you alone, not because you were told or pressured to by others and thats amazing that you accomplished it and made it this far
no mater how small, no matter how mundane or what anyone says about it, youre still doing great.
you might have just been able to take one more step on your walk, one more bite of food, youre able to do one small thing better than or that you couldnt before and its still progress, its still an accomplishment.
youre able to calm yourself or redirect it to something better or youre able to catch yourself and differentiate your disordered/irrational thoughts from rational
however you measure your progress, even if that bar or that number moves by one, maybe less than a half or a fraction, it still moved. you still made progres and you still deserve to feel good and happy about it all theres still a while bunch of progress you made whether you havnt done any yesterday, today or wont do any tomorrow, you still made it ths far.
and im so incredibly proud of you for all of that, no matter how little your progress its still your mind and body and your goals and im so happy with what you've accomplished just by making it here right now.
even if no one else is happy for you or celebrating your little victory with you, i am. im here in your corner cheering you on and i always will be. im proud of every little thing and im going to continue to be proud of and support you on the rest of your journey because you deserve it.
youre healing and no matter how long it takes, how long you still have to go ahead of you, i know you'll make it because you've come this far. no matter what setbacks and roadblocks you face im still so incredibly proud of you and i know you'll still get there in the end.
i know we can do this together, you deserve to be proud and happy and healthy and treat yourself and be loved, and you are! and im right here with you the entire way through.
no matter what it is you still did it, you made progress and whatever goals you may or may not have achieved by now im still so proud.
take it from someone who's relapsed many times and is still of faer journey making faer own bits of progress, it will be okay, you will be okay, it is okay. more than okay even, its beyond fantastic and words can only fail to express how proud i am of all of us
we made it here, we'll make it there too. i promise. now go celebrate <3
