SELF HYPNOSIS

a couple months ago i hurt myself and was in a negative head space and then someone irl recommended listening to these random youtube videos that basically repeat positive affirmations over and over. like “everything is working out for me, i am lucky, etc…” so rather than saying “i‘m in pain” i replaced it with “i will heal.” sometimes it feels like delusional optimism and sometimes it feels silly because it’s almost like having the inner dialogue of someone with a massive ego. but the idea is to try and drown out negative self speak and replace the mindset. the repetition is so constant that it basically drowns out the bad thoughts so when the audio ends you can’t help but feel recalibrated and carry yourself with more confidence and ease, subduing the doubts and anxiety

Self compassion: an antidote to shame

This vid popped up on the sidebar of an NBA dunks highlight video and changed my life. Seriously The premise of the lecture is that we can learn to provide ourselves with the compassion we want from other people to alleviate shame. There is a great exercise at the end that teaches you how to identify the physiological signs of shame which I have already found super helpful in stopping myself from spiralling into shame before it happens. I have felt so weird going through my regular life feeling like a different person after watching this and not knowing how to express that to people. I've made progress in deconstructing shame in the past few years but it never clicked until I saw this. I hope it helps someone else the way it helped me

GIVE YOURSELF MORE SELF-COMPASSION & LAUGH WITH YOURSELF

over the last 4 months I’ve been going through my own mindfulness journey to combat my anxiety/ trauma. And it’s been great! I would totally recommend apps like headspace or therapy that allows you to feel a level of self-compassion. But you can start by just making silly stupid jokes to yourself, and acknowledging/laughing if they are funny.Also, I just saw someone on here say that things like taking a shower they turn into “a glamorizing spell”, which I thought was pretty whimsical! I hope this helps and hope you have a great journey in identifying your ✨Whimsy✨

ANTI-REC: LOSING CAT’S AFFECTION AFTER WORMING HER

My cat is so trusting and lovely and once a month I have to worm her and she hates it. Her eyes go all small and she won’t look at me for at least a couple of hours. It breaks my heart every time! A pic of her angelic face for reference.
