Quotes to ponder:

"Let yourself take a break from your friends’, family’s, and work’s expectations of you. Go home, pour yourself a glass of wine, be vulnerable and cry. It’s okay."

"Pick one day out of your busy schedule as your ‘me-day.’ No one can disturb you and you do not need to accommodate anyone on that day."

"Learn from your emotions and transform them into opportunities for you to grow."
