Nurtured Words

I am improving wellbeing despite illbeing

Hello my lovelies,

Today I want to talk about my chaotic start to 2026. It has been, truly, so difficult. I suppose I want to talk about it (somewhat) because I want to show that not everything in life is fantastic 24/7, no matter the good that is happening. Since the very end of December I have had my perceptions altered, truths and relationships have been troubled.

I tried to look after myself.

There has been many lessons learned, many realisations had. I have now realised what boundaries can actually be and just how vital they are to my wellbeing. I deserve peace, not just in my mind but also in my heart. I am slowly accepting that it’s completely okay and may even be beneficial in the long run.

I will be focusing on what I call ‘tender living’ to better my wellbeing, having reminders of things I am doing greatly, adding to my life to fulfil all I could possibly need. I now realise I can advocate for not only others, but for myself. I have learned the true value of truth and mindful speech.

Boundaries are something I want to explore more.

The one thing adding to my wellbeing, following the illbeing and suffering is that I have forged a stronger bond with a beloved person, we are firmly grounded together.

I have, in all honesty, been very unwell. I feel like I am just say surviving. The fatigue is awful. I am so easily drained. My emotions are intense and the mood swings are real. However I am still finding the joys each day, the conditions for my happiness are becoming more realised.

Journal prompt: what can I learn from my suffering?
