Inspiration

An invitation: Be Gentle AF

Being gentle with ourselves means giving ourselves permission to slow down, and recognize that we may not be capable of our normal pace at the moment. Depending on where you are in life, your responsibilities, and mental health - your pace will look different than those around you. Sometimes, it’s just getting through the day. Sometimes, it looks like social justice work and immersing yourself in action. Sometimes, it looks like holding space for those you love, for yourself, or for community. Sometimes, it’s allowing others (your community) to hold you.

Especially important when we’re having challenging conversations or doing things outside of our comfort zones, we must be gentle with ourselves as we learn. We must be gentle as we UNLEARN harmful conditioning and systems. We must release the need to be perfect, sit with discomfort, lean into that discomfort, and take accountability for our mistakes. This is an invitation to be gentle AF with yourself as you endeavor on this journey, as you get through your day or week, and as you give yourself space to be the best you can in this moment.

This can also look like an invitation to be gentle AF to those you love and those in community with you, as working through trauma looks differently for everyone.
