Note to Self.

Dear Self,

When you get that sad feeling, like you could cry at any second, you're really just tired.  Or getting sick.  Trust me on this one.

You should unplug more often.  Let "relaxing on the couch" be just that...not "sitting on the couch while working and emailing and sequencing yoga classes and lesson planning".  Your mind needs rest just as much as your body does.

Think before you speak - not just about what you say but how you say it - because despite your intentions sometimes your tone sounds really, well...snobby.

It's okay that you run out of steam - both physically and mentally - more quickly than others.  Being fragile is not a weakness, but not listening to your body is.

Working hard is important, but depending on God is more important. All the work in the world doesn't even come close to His ability to give you what you truly need.

Everything will work out.  It almost always does.  And if it doesn't?  Who cares.

Always remember to completely unplug the straightening iron before leaving the house because if you don't you'll spend all day wondering if you left it on.

It's okay that you're so close to your family.  It's not weird.  It's a gift.  Cherish it.

You need to start washing your jeans more.  It's pretty gross that you rarely do.

Watch more good movies.  It's good for you.

Love,
Z
