I am learning to love myself. It's a slow process, but I'm getting there.
To invite the difficult neighbour to the party
That if you destress even if it is a 4 min break just releasing all your troubles from your mind even for a little bit it helps much
You are on your own path, I'm on mine. I'll see those much further then me, or far behind, don't compare yourself to them and keep moving forward.
Knowing the differences between rumination, introspection, and worry, helped me sort between which thoughts are beneficial and which just send me into a repetitive loop
@katharinekiyomi
this is so true. It's so helpful to begin to differentiate between helpful patterns of thinking and patterns that just increase your feeling of tension. Mindfulness exercises helped me accept and let go of patterns I can identify as harmful.
@thoughtfulPassion85 yes!! For a while I kept thinking about past things trying to learn more but instead of really understanding I was just replaying events in my head which didn't feel all that great. Helped me realize what I was doing was just hurting myself over and over rather than having a positive impact on the future I wanted to shape for myself.
That space is important.
I've learned to rebuild my faith in humanity. People here are uplifting and supportive. I've also learned how important it is to ask for help when needed.
I did it!
I have learned to validate my feelings
Routine is key to stability - & that helps towards greater self acceptance
