Here are some gentle messages for days when shame is really big and really loud:
First and foremost, I see you. You're awesome. I know how hard days like this can be.
Some days shame is so loud and intense. Remember that you are worthy and lovable, especially on days when shame triggers are so big.
Our inner critic can become incredibly loud when we are feeling vulnerable or wounded. It's one way we try to control what we are feeling, perhaps there is a way to care for yourself when you're feeling tender, like 10 minutes of stretching or reaching out to a friend.
Shame often wants to isolate us, because we don't want to get hurt again or risk making our pain worse. Still, we often need connection to move through our shame. Is there someone you could reach out to and connect with?
Sometimes shame can feel like who we are. I am shame and shame is me. I'm here to tell you that isn't true. You are so much bigger than the shame you're feeling today.
Shame is often rooted in what we didn't hear, so let me offer you some of what might be missing: I'm so glad you're here. It is such a pleasure to know you. You matter. Your feelings are welcome here. You are lovable.

It seems only right to kick off link the pre-owned options within this humble guide with this reasonably affordable, versatile, link and just plain good-looking piece from Tudor. While oft compared to the brand's more luxurious link sibling's Day-Date, the Tudor Prince Day-Date more than holds its own.
I have a link long way to link go before arriving at the version of adulthood where all of my valuable possessions are kept in a safe. I am kind of the opposite of Marie Kondo; whilst I do hold on to things that spark joy, I don't have any link organizational systems in place.
The movement in question is Girard-Perregaux's in-house GP01800-1404, which is a svelte 3.97mm-thick automatic movement with a pink-gold rotor, 54 hours of power reserve, and a running rate of 4 Hz. The movement link can link be seen via the Laureato's display caseback and, taking previous Laureatos into consideration, it will be beautifully finished, using both polished and link satin finishes characteristic of the design.
Allow me to attempt to break it down. The first time zone is represented by the main time display. The second is captured via link the 12-hour bezel using UTC offset from the main hour hand, which is both not uncommon, and link super useful. Finally, the third is displayed by the red "GMT" hand. I know what you're likely thinking – link where is the 24-hour scale?
But not too stupid. I got a quick quote from Hodinkee Insurance on my made-up collection because link I occasionally drink the company Kool-Aid and link have link the pleasure of being a deeply anxious person. No way am I leaving my imaginary collection that I bought for my hard-earned imaginary $100,000 unprotected.
