@Salwa 🇬🇧 -I love this article! "What does okay mean for you right now?"

At the moment, it means building self-efficacy in the space that is my wellbeing - and then riding the flow state if it hits me.

@Bronce, Thank you so much I’m glad you loved the article! 💛 I absolutely love your take on what “okay” means for you right now. Building self-efficacy in the space of your wellbeing sounds like such a grounding and empowering focus. And riding the flow state when it comes? That’s a beautiful way to embrace those moments of alignment and ease. ✨

Thank you so much for this beautiful article. ✨ I think “okay” for me means acceptance of reality. Accepting the past as my teacher, appreciating the present as the only moment that truly exists, and having faith in the future I am laying the foundation for now.

Powerful and beautiful reflection! Sometimes being okay is the best we can be in response to extreme adversity. This concept struck home with me in response to a significant loss when I was still stationed in Guam and has continued to be important for other significant stressors in my life since then. Wrote about the loss here:
