Being fully oneself is the hardest thing. When the world seems to push you in all sorts of different directions, making you rush to perform pointless tricks, turn to these wise words from Virginia Woolf, a woman who lived a life very much her own.

The full quote reads:

"No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself."

A call for greater self-care and the essence of mindful living. Hang this poster in a place where you may most need a gentle reminder to look towards yourself with self-compassion and self-acceptance. There is so much noise in contemporary life that urges us to spot problems and seek changes to solve them. This is a perfect licence to reject this notion and instead breathe out and feel the peace within. A far stronger place from which to build.
