Hey, it's been a good week so far, looking forward to the weekend 🥰
Ive been thinking alot lately about the example we set others around us based on our mental health. For example my nephew, who is eleven, I was exploring within myself, when I'm a very, or sad, or drained, or fed up, do I shout, scream, kick things, bottle it up and then explode? Would I want him mimicking this or would I like him to see it's ok to feel, to be emotional, to cry, to process, to take time out, to not explode or hide, it made me see the importance of having early conversations around mental health and emotions with children 💕💜
@Amanda84
Hey, glad you've had a good week!
That modeling of "it's possible to have emotions and handle them in a non-destructive way" sounds really impactful. 💜 It's pretty easy to end up receiving all kinds of opposite messages and they're tough to undo because the consequences are so significant (i.e. "if I feel/share X, my friends/family will get mad or stop supporting me").
@QuietMagic
💜 How has your week been so far?
Did some shopping in the city, apart from that, nothing productive
💙 What's something you've been thinking about or found interesting lately?
Philosophy, there are many sub-topics like metaphysics, epistemology and how great thinkers argue and think!
@Adeline12345
Hi, glad you got to do some shopping and that it sounds like it's been a relatively quiet week. 💜
Philosophy sounds interesting! Any particular topics/debates or thinkers that have caught your eye recently?
@QuietMagic
💜 How has your week been so far?
not too great to be honest, but im managing!
💙 What's something you've been thinking about or found interesting lately?
i'm mostly thinking about ways to be mindful, or not to get into fight or flight mode for long
@daydreammemories
Aw, sorry your week hasn't been great. 💜 That's something I'm thinking about lately too: how to avoid getting locked into tension/anxiety, whether it's possible to maintain calm (or create calm out of nowhere) in situations that sort of pour out lots of triggers for feeling the opposite way, etc. Feel free to share if you find anything that feels like it works!
@QuietMagic
thank you, i appreciate it💚
well im still figuring it out... haha, hasn't been much successful yet. but sure i'll let you know if you let me know about your answers :P
