in case no one has celebrated the fact that you are still here surviving, i'm here to celebrate with you. thank you for choosing life, one big hug for you 🫂

It feels like the technology equivalent of repeatedly opening the fridge and staring inside, just in case someone cooked a five star meal since the last time you had checked.

I’m trying to limit my screen time and halt my phone addiction before it completely ruins my life, so I deleted (almost) all of the apps that I tend to get lost in. I wish that my screen time tracker would also have a metric for how long I stare at my Home Screen looking for something to do on here.

We need more third spaces in this world. Places with no expectation of spending money, not a penny for profit. Somewhere we can goof around and have some fun again. Somewhere we can meet new people with similar interest, without having to go online for it. A place for clubs, a place for community.

This is so important. So much of mental health is learning how to stretch muscles you hadn’t known existed.

A good way to start this is by recognizing a small thing that you do, that you want to stop. Do you say little white lies? Do you judge strangers?

Call yourself out. You’ll be doing it less.

chat is it good for a dictionary to be mad at you

I know things are bleak and scary right now. But I promise you that you - yes YOU - can get through this.

You don't have to fight all of this on your own. Find one person you can help, and help them. Make the life of one person better every day.

Hold onto your joy.

That's how we win.

Keep in mind that manifesting is not going to magically make your dreams come true, but it can help. Manifest, daydream, make vision boards and roadmaps. Do whatever helps you find the strength to achieve your dreams. These tools are here for your advantage, but they will not do the work for you.

Try to make a conscious effort to bring more positivity into your life. Give compliments freely, tell your friends you love them. Associate with people who bring your self worth up instead of dragging it down.

We become what we are surrounded with. Surround yourself with growth. It’s so worth it <3

The world is a sucky place. It can feel so easy to drown in the hopelessness of it all, but we must swim.

Today, when you find yourself thinking about how meaningless everything seems, try to find the good in your life. Even if it’s just one little thing making you smile. Hold on. It gets better <3

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a lot of stress, all the time, to be Perfect. If you’re gonna do something at all, you must do it perfectly. If you can’t do it perfectly, then it deserves no effort.

Those thoughts are a trap called “All or Nothing Thinking” It’s a cognitive distortion, a lie

A good goal to work towards in relationships is to be two identities within one unit. To be “we” instead of “you versus me”. The first step is not feeling embarrassed around each other. You wouldn’t be embarrassed when with just yourself, why would you with your partner? You are safe, We are safe <3

Mindset can be such an important tool, but it can be so hard to use at the same time.

In the moment of the heat of anger or the whirl of anxiety, asking yourself “How can I spin this?” Can feel like an impossible task.

Just remember, you are not alone, you are loved, and this storm will pass too 🫶
