It's Okay

A short poem to steady your heartbeat & anchor you on your journey in this moment. May this be a gentle reminder that slowness is sometimes the medicine we need in order to see the path forward more clearly.

Transcript

These are some words that I think we all need reminding of at times.

It's okay to go slow while the rest of the world rushes around you.

It's okay to stop on your path forward and upward,

To take a peek backwards and downwards,

To see just how far you've come.

It's even okay to stay put when the next steps make your feet tremble and your hands shake.

It's more than okay to sit down right here,

Take some deep breaths and feel yourself root deeply into the earth,

Becoming one with the trees,

Breathing in all the nourishing oxygen,

Breathing out all of the fear,

Breathing in all of the love,

Breathing out knowing it's okay to just be here.
