Anxiety doesn’t always shout, it often whispers through overthinking, self doubt & endless “what ifs.” Be gentle with yourself. Not every thought deserves your attention. One thought at a time. One breath at a time. Keep going! #SheShed #Anxiety #MentalHealth #SelfCompassion

I have struggled with this one for days, but finally arrived at something that resonates (for me at least!). Another landscape, but as always a way to articulate my emotions. Oil on panel, 70 x 100cm #oilpainting #landscape #mountains #abstractexpressionism #grief #trauma #selfcompassion

An abstract landscape as metaphor for self-compassion and nurturing. The ridge line sweeps in a dark curve almost at the top of the panel, with dark grey-blue and almost black sky above. Just below the surface is a swathe of off-white curving over a very dark 'hillside' of dark olive - almost black. Much lighter patches of paint show through the thick brush strokes, and an area - almost like a cave - of glowing off-white and pinkish light and dark lines suggesting trees (possibly). Down the left side of the hill is another sweeping line of grey, again with light shining through where the paint is thin. Brush strokes are random, loose and expressive, providing movement and softness.

The world asks us to be productive. Life asks us to be resilient. But sometimes what we need most is to simply be kind to ourselves. Rest is not weakness. Crying is not failure. Asking for help is not giving up. Take care of yourself. You deserve it!! #SheShed #SelfCare #Wellness #SelfCompassion

“Glimmers are these tiny moments of OK-ness, joy, excitement, ease, calm.” Deb Dana Tiny joys don’t erase difficult days… they do remind us they aren’t the whole story. What glimmers did you notice today? 🧡 #SelfCompassion #Gratitude Artwork by Katie Abey

A colourful illustration of a cheerful cartoon gibbon with rosy cheeks and a green backpack walking through a rainbow background filled with stars and sparkles. A speech bubble says, “Off to find the tiny joys and then live for them.” An arrow labels the character “The Gibbon of Glimmers.” Artwork by Katie Abey.

“You can’t carry all that stuff forever. At some point, you need to put it down and rest.” Dr. Thema Bryant We don’t have to hold it all. We’re allowed to let go of what’s too heavy. The helpful things can stay… the rest, we can put down. 🧡 #kindness #SelfCompassion Picture by @joyfulsmolthings

Illustration of a person wearing red and green checked trousers and brown shoes, holding a heavy stack of labelled boxes. Each box is marked with a word: “MISTAKES”, “GUILT”, “BAD MEMORIES”, “PRESSURE”, and “EXPECTATIONS”. Beside them, bold black text reads: “IF IT IS TOO HEAVY, PUT IT DOWN”. The background is cream with scattered red dots. Artwork by @joyfulsmolthings.

“Have no fear of perfection - you’ll never reach it.” Salvador Dalí The things we call imperfections are so often signs that we’ve lived, learned and tried. Life isn’t meant to be perfect. It’s meant to be experienced. Be messy, clumsy and imperfect.🧡 #SelfCompassion #Kindness Art by katieabey

Illustration on a white background surrounded by large green tropical leaves, small leaf shapes and outlined heart doodles. At the top is a cartoon green iguana facing left with large white eyes, black pupils, pink circular cheeks, darker green stripes across its back, small triangular spikes along its neck and spine, and a tightly curled tail. Above the iguana, black handwritten text reads “THE IGUANA OF IMPERFECTION” with a curved arrow pointing towards it. Below, large black hand-lettered text reads: “STOP WAITING FOR EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE TO BE ‘PERFECT’ BEFORE YOU ALLOW YOURSELF TO ENJOY IT. THAT DAY WILL NEVER COME. THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS SUPPOSED TO BE CLUMSY AND WONDERFULLY IMPERFECT. SO ENJOY IT NOW.” The artist credit “@KATIEABEY” appears at the bottom centre.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Here’s to giving ourselves and others a little more room for whatever those inner stories may need. 🧡 #kindness #SelfCompassion Picture by joyfulsmothings

“Caring for myself is not self indulgence, it is self preservation.” Audre Lorde You’re not weak for feeling tired. It’s human to need space, softness, and a pause. Showing up again tomorrow, or whenever… in whatever way you can, still counts. 🧡 #kindness #SelfCompassion Image AllOnTheBoard

A photo of a whiteboard with handwritten black text that reads: “Don’t think you’re being weak for sometimes wanting to hide away. You are tired from being strong. It takes strength to face the world every day.” The whiteboard has a silver frame, rounded corners, and is photographed against a neutral background. Picture by @allontheboard

“Caring for myself is not self indulgence, it is self preservation.” Audre Lorde Kindness doesn’t require perfection. It may include boundaries, honesty, bad days, and mistakes. Looking after yourself is part of being human. 🧡 #kindness #SelfCompassion #SelfBelief Picture by Nikki Miles

Colourful illustrated artwork on a deep red background with handwritten cream text reading “You can be a kind person and still”. Surrounding the text are playful illustrations including a rainbow, butterfly with heart shapes on its wings, peach, flower, planet Earth with a ring, and an acorn. Additional handwritten phrases say “say no”, “disagree”, “say the wrong thing”, “stand up for yourself”, “have bad moods”, and “make mistakes”. The overall feel is warm, reassuring, and human, celebrating kindness alongside boundaries and imperfection. Picture by Nikki Miles

“Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.”Anne Lamott. Even a small pocket of time can help us settle and feel a little better. Soft pauses can so very often matter more than we often realise. 🧡 #peace #SelfCompassion #kindness Art by simply anxious
