We must take care of ourselves🌸

2/26 Edited to

... Read moreTaking care of ourselves goes beyond simple acts; it's a continuous commitment to nurturing our mental, emotional, and physical health. In my experience, embracing self-care has involved setting boundaries that protect my energy and saying no when necessary, which can be difficult but ultimately rewarding. Incorporating therapy, whether professional or self-guided, helps uncover the root causes of stress and build resilience. Patience is also key, as personal growth doesn’t happen overnight. The hashtag #embracethewait reminds us that healing and progress take time. Daily practices like mindfulness and journaling have been helpful in sustaining my journey to self-love by enhancing self-awareness and gratitude. Moreover, self-love is a powerful foundation. Affirmations and celebrating small wins reinforce a positive mindset. Self-care also means listening to your body—ensuring enough rest, nourishing meals, and physical activity adapted to your preferences. Remember, if you don’t prioritize yourself, it’s hard to pour into others effectively. Taking the initiative in your self-care routine is an empowering act that fosters confidence and emotional balance. Whether it’s seeking therapy, practicing patience, or engaging in activities that bring joy, these steps can transform your overall well-being and quality of life.

How I take care of myself as a corporate girly🫶🏼
Right after graduating college in 2021, I got a 9-5 office job and have been here ever since. To be honest, it’s not where I see myself long term and I don’t really enjoy it. No matter where we work, we should take care of ourselves. But, especially being at a job that doesn’t fuel me or give me pu

do you ever feel like you’re in a constant tug of war where your real (highest, best, most authentic) self is the prize? like you’re always fighting your way back to yourself? ⤵️ that’s because you are! we’re constantly disappearing and reappearing (to a degree) - and it’s totally normal 🤗

Pressure We Place On Ourselves
I was always giving myself guidelines and rules to follow.. like I had to be married by 27 and have kids before 30. That I was a failure if I didn’t have a successful career or make a certain amount of money. And for what? Half those rules weren’t even mine. They were just things I picked up

Painting Ourselves Back🎨🤍✨
No one talks about how sometimes hope doesn’t make it on time because it doesn’t arrive as we needed it. Help given isn’t help unless it— it sounds like… But the truth is, when hope failed me too, my pulse met a grey sunrise anyway. And in staying, I’m remembering how to paint the col

About knowing ourselves and others
We’re only ever as honest as we want to be, or so we’d like to think. There comes a point in knowing someone- a partner, a friend, family- that you learn their subtleties. And it’s in knowing these subtleties, that you come to know their truth. #poetry #mentalhealth #poetrycommunity #lgbt
