Rec | MOTHERING YOURSELF!

🏹

ive been forcing myself to cook big meals when sad (tears taste great!) and putting myself in bubble baths when i need to slow down and telling myself to put on the damn jacket and making myself take deep breaths and listening to me tell me that I’m doing fine- life is infinitely lighter when intentionally deciding to be kind to yourself- channeling overbearing parent when needed- as opposed to living off of caffeine and existential dread

Cry

& go for a walk outside, journal, clean my living spaces, find someone who will hug me without making me talk about it if I’m not ready, find someone else I can help in some way, play video games, watch beloved comfort movies, shower, do easy art (like cutting watercolor paper into bookmark-sized strips and just painting gradients on them), write poetry, sing along to moody music, let myself move slowly and not feel productive without judging myself

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.

healthy habits and playful rewards

i am sorry to hear you have this invisible to others pain. parent yourself- how you would counsel your own child or younger sibling suffering rn? a menu of options: prioritize sleep, exercise regardless, engage music and dance, find creative release, seek out others similarly situated for support, try therapy and/or faith practice, big pharma has pills, playgrounds the sound of joy...apply "sometimes treats" like a mocha as reward for trying one of the above. psychedelics are working for some. know this too will pass and does not define you as a human. stay strong.
