I’m Okay

I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay. Repeating this over and over in my head should be the first step on my journey towards an attitude of self-love, with a little pit stop at the station of self-acceptance, and will hopefully turn into I'm awesome someday. I'm curious − do you love who you are? Can … Continue reading I’m Okay →

Self-acceptance

I recently went on a date with a guy I met on Tinder. This is surprising in so many ways, meaning that I hadn't expected to even meet up with any of the guys from Tinder because of the obvious reason (well, it's Tinder) and also, I am slightly terrified of dating / meeting new … Continue reading Self-acceptance →

° ASSUME GOOD INTENT ° Keep reminding yourself of this and implement it in your daily life to reduce anxiety levels🙌. 🥕 • #Repost @melrobbinslive (@get_repost) ・・・ I’ve got a challenge for you today in #MindsetReset: I want you to assume GOOD intent. So today when your friend takes a few hours to text you back, instead of thinking “wow what did I do wrong? Are they mad at me? Why AREN’T they texting me back?” Think: “they’re just busy. They’ll get back to me when they can.” It’s a game changer. Do this for every situation where you automatically go to the worst case scenario. The guy who cuts you off in traffic on the way to work, the barista who gets your coffee order wrong, the boss that sends your a harsh e-mail. Assume GOOD intent, and watch how much better your day is. What’s something that happens in your life that automatically makes you go to the worst case scenario? Let’s share some down below and work on helping each other with good intentioned thoughts instead ❤️

I absolutely recommend reading this book by @theangrytherapist which is 100% relatable 🙏. It's a great reminder of all the things you may already have known but keep forgetting when life gets busy. • YOU ARE NOT YOUR FEELINGS. Keep that in mind💪. 🥕 • • • • #nobs #theangrytherapist #findyourtruth #anxiety #mentalhealth #blog #blogposts #selfcare

° HELLO OLD FRIEND ° I wrote a letter to an old friend of mine who goes by the name of Anxiety.

#Repost @brenebrown (@get_repost) ・・・ Rolling into 2019 with a little perfectionism reality-check (because I need it). . Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving for excellence. Perfection is not about healthy achievement and growth. . Perfectionism is the belief that if we live perfect, look perfect, and act perfect, we can minimize or avoid the pain of blame, judgment, and shame. It’s a shield. Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us, when, in fact, it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from being seen and taking flight. . Perfectionism is not self-improvement. Perfectionism is, at its core, about trying to earn approval and acceptance. . Most perfectionists were raised being praised for achievement and performance (grades, manners, rule-following, people-pleasing, appearance, sports). Somewhere along the way, we adopt this dangerous and debilitating belief system: I am what I accomplish and how well I accomplish it. Please. Perform. Perfect. Prove. . Healthy striving is self-focused – How can I improve? Perfectionism is other-focused – What will people think? . Lay down the shield. Pick up your life. Let’s keep 2019 brave, kind, and awkward. • • • • 🥕

#Repost @howamifeelingg (@get_repost) ・・・ I did not plan for this web sort of thing to happen but I’m sorta glad it worked out this way. My original plan for this was just to list a lot of old belief systems that have been coming up- which I did- but the interesting part was to see what connected and where they lead to. I think I accidentally did some sort of CBT exercise which I highly recommend doing. . I used to have one hell of a mind that would run away all the time. There was no stopping it back then and although I have a better understanding it still takes time to re-wire those original thought patterns. I don’t know what I used to picture anxiety as because it was always contained in my head so even if I ever briefly heard the word, I probably thought something along the lines of, “nah that’s not me. I’m just a mess of a person”. (But probably with more harsh language). I took everything my brain did and accepted it as a personal flaw rather than just a loose wire flailing around like those inflatable dancing balloons outside car dealerships. . It still feels weird to be able to name this thing in a way that i don’t accept blame for the wacky shenanigans my brain does. Every time I have any sort of break through it blows my mind all over again. I don’t have to keep this to myself. I don’t have to feel ashamed for it. I don’t have to be mad at myself. I hope something changes where children are taught from an early age over and over that they don’t have to carry this sort of weight or shame. Sometimes brains just do weird shit and it isn’t their fault. . . . . #howamifeeling #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillnessawareness #itsokaytonotbeokay #ventart #imwithyou #mentalhealthart #mentalillnessart #artformentalhealth #skeletonclique #howamifeelingg #psychology #mentalhealthmatters #mentalwellness #themighty #twloha #monstersinmyhead #postsecret #ididntknowihad
