it’s been 🖕🏽everybody lately 🧘🏽‍♀️

babesss i gotta learn how to be MORE SELFISH with my inner self ! i definitely CAN’T make everyone like me or make them happy or feel better about themselves or do anything how they preferred.

my dumbass always gotta feel like i gotta be captain save a HOE when i sense a mf need help instead of putting my mental first , i’ve just been making it WORSE for ME bc i care entirely too much about a soul i hate it .. its a blessing and a curse . i really been letting my mental suffer trying to please others when i haven’t even healed myself yet. 🤦🏽‍♀️ its time i put ME first indefinitely and not just half way , but all that other BS STOPS TODAY .. i can’t heal properly if i constantly put everybody thoughts and feelings before mine.. but y’all i’ve been going through this for some time now and it’s not healthy 🥹 but GOD got me he gone help me see this through 💆🏽‍♀️😅 .. all these emotions , pain , and feelings i’ve been experiencing just temporary boo 😌🧍🏽‍♀️i’ll get back to my normal self 🔜 if not BETTER 😘

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, prioritizing mental health has never been more crucial. People often find themselves caught in a cycle of pleasing others, neglecting their own needs in the process. This struggle can lead to emotional turmoil and stress. To break free from this pattern, it's important to recognize that self-care isn't selfish—it’s necessary for healing. Many individuals experience similar feelings of being overwhelmed by their responsibilities to others, but embracing moments of solitude and self-reflection can foster personal growth and recovery. As we navigate our vulnerabilities, we learn that it’s okay to seek help and that healing, while a daunting process, is achievable with perseverance. Engaging in practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and open conversations about mental health can create a supportive environment for everyone seeking to heal. The journey may be difficult, but prioritizing oneself ultimately leads to a healthier mindset and a more fulfilling life. Remember, taking time for yourself isn’t just beneficial for you; it can positively impact those around you as well. Embrace this path towards self-discovery, and acknowledge that every step you take is a step towards becoming your best self.

Pain can be our greatest teacher. There is often a lesson attached to our struggle—something to be gained from this experience. When all else fails, try to dig deep and find what that lesson could be for you; how this experience might actually benefit you in some way. 🫂 Book: The Real Glow Up✨
