Valerie Bertinelli shares her raw thoughts on “finding peace in the chaos.”
The celebrity chef shared a powerful message about appreciating one’s own strength on her Instagram account on December 9.
In the candid post, she told her followers to recognize their own strengths.
“I’m not the biggest fan of videos that start with ‘I don’t know who needs to hear this,’ but this is one of those videos, I know I needed to hear this,” she began.
Valerie went on to say, “I don’t think you really understand or give yourself credit for how strong you are. I don’t think you give yourself enough credit for how that strength shows up. Because when it comes out with kindness and no one in the world would blink if it didn’t, but you still stayed kind, then it takes strength. And I want you to give yourself credit for that. I want you to be proud of yourself.”
“We never get the chance to really like, appreciate and be proud of ourselves,” she noted.
Continuing to share her words of wisdom, the 65-year-old actress said, “So be proud of yourself for remaining kind when no one would blame you if you didn’t. It takes strength. Kindness takes strength, but it’s worth it. Because I know you feel better for showing up like this. Because I know showing up like this makes me feel better.”
“If I can stay rooted in equanimity, which is finding mental clarity and basically finding peace in the chaos, for lack of a better explanation, that feels good,” she added.
