sometimes i feel really bad because i feel like i‘m too emotional about certain things that may appear to be really objectively insignificant or small to most people, but then i have to remind myself of this. it’s okay to feel things deeply and to give yourself time to process them. sometimes i’ll end up with my whole day ruined because of something banal, but i think the only reason why i feel guilty about this is because there’s an expectation that we need to keep pushing and keep going all the time. but its okay to take a day off! stay at home! be with friends! be alone! do something that will make you feel good instead and try again tomorrow! this statement is obviously true for good things as well - if you try making small positive changes to how you spend your day that will result in a better day… or at least it should… i feel like my mood changes really easily and really often and that can be hard to deal with sometimes but then i have to remind myself it’s okay and even if i can’t always control these things i’m in control of if/how i let myself process them

when I realize that feeling this way is just a slump and a temporary rut, that’s half the battle. Perfect Days (2024) is a great example of this. Sometimes things just snowball and little things or obstacles that I would normally breeze by feel insurmountable and full of (bad) meaning. I start to make all these assumptions about myself. But if I’m reminded that it’s just a couple bad days and the reactions I’m having are just feelings, I realize it will pass. That allows me to *start* doing something I want to do, or dig in to something I didn’t have the energy for. Doing the dishes, getting outside, taking a hot shower, a hard workout hastens the cloud and it clears eventually. It always does

i’ve been where you are now.
i hate to use the word gratitude journaling or whatever but truly taking time to find and appreciate the small bits of goodness in your day can work wonders.
sometimes we are so caught up in our own worlds that we forget we are only one small part of something bigger than ourselves.
be present and attune yourself to your senses. find moments that bring you a sense of joy and wonder or even just things that went right today.
so much of our feelings of sadness are because we’re trying to escape the present, and the paradox is that being present is what will bring us out of that sadness.

sometimes it’s alright to feel terrible and stressed and cry for a while and then eat a bit and feel alright about things

wear your shoes till the soles come off. you don’t need a new shirt. STOP mindlessly consuming things!!! enough!!! go sit outside for 10 minutes and think about if you are actually lacking anything material in your life (you’re probably not). if you do need new things have a thing-exchange with your friends it’s so fun! stop falling victim to overconsumption
