i think when i used to spiral about things i’d end up spiraling even more bc i’d sit there and talk to/about myself negatively and think of worst case scenarios WHILE spiraling , but these days ive sorta trained myself to almost cradle myself like a baby, allow myself to have whatever emotions im having and then take whatever steps it is i need to take to truly take care of myself (including setting boundaries with those who are hurting me or contributing to the spiral). i ALWAYS got myself and imma love her (me) forever!!!!!

allowing yourself the space to grow and make amends with whatever emotional or spiritual baggage you may or may not be carrying is such a powerful feeling. learning to pour love back into oneself is a radical and necessary act! easier said than done of course but whew it’s nice to remember that we are all worthy of solace and joy and if we can actively show up for others because they deserve it we can learn to do the same for ourselves.

i am my own rock. when i easily get overwhelmed or anxious, i just tell myself whats happening. its okay to be by yourself!

been on a CPTSD healing journey in somatic therapy and for the first time in my life, I’ve made peace with not being able to control how other people feel. by surrendering control and ending the habit of intellectualizing my feelings, I ride the wave of each embodied feeling, letting myself cry or shake or groove or stretch. as a result, I’ve found it easier to avoid self-betraying (by people pleasing or fawning).
I’ve found my center 🥲

genuinely believe journaling has saved my mental health but doing it in public alone is such a better alternative to going on your phone and also if you have a pretty notebook it's a great conversation starter

if you expect everything you make to be a masterpiece you’ll never get started on anything….let yourself make “bad” stuff in order to get to the “good” stuff
