That feeling... 🤤

2025/11/10 Edited to

... Read moreFor those unfamiliar, 'stimming' refers to self-stimulatory behavior often used to cope with emotions, sensory overload, or to simply express oneself. It's a natural and beneficial outlet for many individuals, particularly within the neurodiverse community. Whether it’s repetitive movements, sounds, or other behaviors, stimming can provide comfort and a sense of control in overwhelming situations. The hashtag #iykyk, meaning 'If You Know, You Know,' implies shared understanding among those who relate intimately to these feelings. When you experience "that feeling... 🤤," it might be the undeniable satisfaction that comes with engaging in a soothing stim or recognizing a moment that only insiders can appreciate. It’s about connection and empathy, the subtle nod to experiences not everyone shares. Moreover, the playful use of #lol indicates a lightheartedness and humor in acknowledging these moments, making it easier for people to connect and destigmatize stimming behaviors. Whether you stim visibly or through more subtle methods, embracing these moments allows for self-acceptance and fosters communities where individuals feel seen and understood. In everyday life, recognizing and respecting stimming habits can improve communication and support mental well-being. For caregivers or friends, learning about stimming can enhance empathy and encourage positive interactions. For anyone who stims, knowing you’re part of a welcoming community can be empowering. Ultimately, "that feeling" linked to stimming is more than just a physical sensation—it’s a bridge to authenticity, enjoyment, and community spirit.

Not feeling your glutes during a hip thrust…
🤯 Hip thrust game changer for my girls who need to feel it in their glutes! This little tweak will emphasize more hip external rotation so that your glute fibers are shorter at the top of the exercise when you are squeezing and begging for your glutes to grow! 🙏🏻 #lemon8partner #glutegains
