Rec | LIL TREATS

🌧️

Rec'd on 🌫️ what do you do when you feel like the world around you is grey every day?

when i‘m in those holes i usually find that i need to just ride it out, but to make riding it out more tolerable— i try do the little things that make me happy that i usually don’t do often. eat an ice cream cone, read in the bath for two hours, buy a new perfume, write a letter to a pal, be tender with yourself. it’s easy to stay down when you feel like you should be getting over it, so try not to pressure yourself. let it happen the way it’s going to happen and remember that life is good and then sometimes it’s bad and then it gets good again. take joy where you can get it, and don’t be afraid to tell the people that love you that you might need a little extra love for a while. good luck, buddy. ❤️

its ok to be sad but hear is some advice from someone who is also sad

I always try and focus on the little things a have control over. I know that may be easier said than done as I also struggle with getting out of sad moods. I love my friends because I can talk to them about this or just bullshit about stuff and I feel seen and loved. sometimes that’s enough. I have also been going on walks recently even though the weather is lame. listening to the wind somehow seems to ground me. hope this helps❤️❤️

Acceptance

When you’re in a slump, you’re in a slump. Let yourself feel things. The good and the bad. I welcome them like a visitor and I invite them at the pretend dinner table in my head and get to know them, and I try not to ask them why they’re here. Why I feel things. I just let them be. Know that this will pass, just like a person visiting for a few nights and I try not to hold on to them when they’re ready to leave (yes those feelings will pass). Sounds very cliché but they do. From my experience, the longer I fight the sadness/depression/slump, the longer it stays. I’ve learned just to take it day by day. This wouldn’t be possible without months of therapy where it was revealed to me that I’ve been so hard on myself almost my entire life. I also meditate every night for 15-20 minutes. I take this activity so seriously, just a few minutes to close my eyes and release the tension I’ve felt the whole day. I love staying still. I love to close my eyes and think of nothing. My drive will come back. What also helps (for me) is taking a few minutes a day to go outside and letting the sun touch my skin. It feels so good. Listen to the birds. Listen to the traffic. Just observe your surroundings and remember that there is life outside you and you are a part of something big and eventually you get inspired by something. May it be small or big. It will come back to you. Be gentle and kind to yourself <3

feel Your feelings

Feel them hard and strong Feel sad when you’re sad Feel mad when you’re mad Make space for joy to come through Don’t make yourself suffer, let them pass Make lists of gratitude Feel the sunshine Move your body Cuddle with a stuffie, an animal, a person Eat nourishing food Eat sugary fun food Treat yourself as if you are your own child, and you are your own mother. Be tender with yourself. It might take time, dear, but the light always comes back.
