Healing is a beautiful thing. It relieves you. Like taking a great big shit. You just feel lighter and so much better. But unlike a great big shit, you feel wiser and closer to yourself.

🌿deep breaths, paying attention to how your body feels, who knew it would make you feel better?

I always forget about it and then remember again and I’m like oh yeah that’s why I’m not normal. You can write this into your journal every day to hold yourself accountable and keep track of your moods.
You can look up safe calm place meditation on YouTube but it’s essentially a visualization technique where you imagine a place where you can be safe and totally at ease and the sensory experience of that—mine was a grassy meadow with a stream of running water and cows mooing nearby. The more you build it up and return to it the more powerful it can become when you need it.
I really enjoy Tara Brach’s body scan meditations and her felt smile meditation too.
These are all for trauma obviously and the TICES log isn’t really relevant, but they could be really helpful for stress too I think because most of them are just basic elements of well being and awareness. I need to get back on this myself in these trying times…

😃Bags, that is. I saw this hack online and tried it - bring home a bag of kale or spinch or whathaveyou, take a single paper towel, fold it once and put it in the bag and just leave it in there. I don’t know why or how but it makes it not go bad. It’s probably science, but I prefer to think of it as magic.

I can’t stop thinking about him. I want to know more. I maybe want to be him.

😃I’ve been going through a pretty extreme amount of emotional grief lately and my under eyes are s u f f e r i n g. Grief can really take such a toll on your face. I’ve been using my Dieux forever eye masks after my daily weeping sessions and they are really helping restore moisture and reduce the dark circles that make me look as ill as I am mentally. 10/10 recommend for anyone having a hard time.
