Sometimes, the advice to take things "one day at a time" can feel overwhelming, especially when life feels heavy. It’s okay if a whole day seems like too much to handle right now. Give yourself permission to feel whatever you need to—rant, cry, or just let it all out. If all you can manage is taking it one minute or one hour at a time, that’s perfectly okay. Honor where you are without judgment.

Through it all, keep showing yourself compassion and love, even when it feels hard. Trust that every small step forward, no matter how tiny, is still progress. You are stronger than you realize, and you will make it through this. Be gentle with yourself; you’re doing the best you can. And that, friends, is good enough.
