stop ignoring yourself. fix your posture, get a fresh haircut, drink water, take care of your skin, eat food that gives you energy, declutter your space, take time to rest, workout, do mindful meditation, fix your sleep schedule. when you feel/look good, you do good. invest in yourself, put the effort you deserve.

hey just a little reminder — sometimes when you’re in survival mode, living day by day is literally all you can do. it’s all you have space for. and then when you have the space and time and release to slowly start to come out of survival mode, you have to re-learn how to live with the future in mind. learning from your past. making your future self proud. doing things your future self will thank you for. and I don’t see a lot of people talking about how TERRIFYING that is. but it is. it’s really, really scary to plan and learn what healthy self discipline looks like and how to greet every version of yourself. and so if that’s you today — I’m very proud of you. there’s nothing shameful about relearning something. you’re doing so well! I’m so glad you got this far <3

You are not a bother. You are not a burden. You are not a waste of space. You are not annoying every person you talk to. Your existence matters. Your presence makes a good difference.

another year is ending and I want you to know that it is okay if you:
have not healed from the things that happened/did not happen from six months ago. just because the year is ending it does not mean your grief is too.
don't have any "fun" NYE plans to ring in the new year. this life is yours to live across days and months and years, and you can celebrate days other than the ones heavily marketed and shoved down your throat to shroud you in severe FOMO.
have no resolutions or goals for 2024 laid out in elaborate lists or shared on social media or with your friends. you are braving through this life trying to do your best every day and hold the fort and so of course you know, deep down you know what is needed from you for you going forward and of course you are going to work in that direction. good luck love.
have not become a "better" version of yourself by any of the tangible or conventional measures. that kind of bettering is mostly to serve others, not yourself.
are not happy with yourself/your life as it is now. you're a work-in-progress, remember? and if you're progressing in a direction you do not like, then it's time to change the blueprints and the strategy.
take time off social media around this time to protect your mental health and whatever little joy you have managed to keep.
don't want to spend too much time reflecting on how this past year went and doing various forms of 2023-wrapped. again, it's your life. you can also revisit this year in memories and pictures and feelings whenever you'd like. it's not like you don't still visit 2012, 2017, and 2022, right?
feel disconnected from your friends, family, lover. I know this is "ideally" a time to be celebrated with your loved ones. but life is not ideal, is it? it's just life. and if right now you are not feeling the love, the joy, or just don't have the headspace or social energy to engage , that's alright.
are finding comfort in simpler things like a TV show from the 90s or that book you first read at sixteen or that slice of strawberry cake or a random post like this you come across.
don't feel hopeful, encouraged, or excited for 2024. given everything that's happened in the last couple of years, on the macro and micro level, it's only natural for you to feel weary as well as wary. when the good things happen, when the healing happens, when things begin working in your favour over time, you will automatically feel all those things. it's okay if until then you choose to be neutral.

It just breaks my heart so much when I see someone burning themselves out to try to become perfect. Nothing in this world has ever been perfect, nor will it ever be. If things could ever be perfect, evolution would have just stopped at some point, don't you think?

Reminder
Your pain (physical/mental/emotional) is valid even if nobody can see it
Your pain is valid even if you have no physical symptoms
Your pain is valid even if there is no physical injury
Your pain is valid even if others tell you it's not
Your pain is valid even if you do not have a life threatening disease
Your pain is valid even if you don't have a diagnosis
Your pain is valid even if you do have a diagnosis
Your pain is still valid even if nobody believes you
Your pain is still valid even if you are too "young" for the problem/issue
Your pain is valid even if the health care advisor/anybody tells you that it's in your head
Your pain is valid no matter what the conditions are
Your pain is valid.
Pain does not discriminate between age, gender, race, nationality etc. Just because you can't see pain, doesn't mean it's not there.

Some people out there literally think any positivity is toxic positivity. Don't you see the difference between: "You can achieve everything! Just do it! Try harder! Sky is the limit!" and: "Do a little of something you enjoy to make yourself feel less hopeless. Take small steps towards your goals. Go at your own pace, slow progress is still progress. Try to change your negative mindset step by step."? Everyone can do something to make their life better. No matter how small this thing looks from other people's perspective, for you it may be life-changing. Ok, maybe your life will never be perfect, maybe it'll never even be good, because illnessess (both physical and mental), disabilities, trauma and other factors can make your life objectively hard and it's obviously not your fault, but if something may make your life at least a little more bearable, it's worth trying. If something makes you even a little closer to achieving your goals, it's worth trying. If something makes you feel even a little better, it's worth trying. You can take action, you're not just a helpless victim of circumstances. Maybe you can't do much, but you can always do something. There is hope, even if your negative thoughts and/or other people tell you otherwise.

Trauma is embedded within the body and ingrained in the brain. For lasting change, create strategies that address both the physical and mental aspects of trauma.
Physical Therapies:
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Leverages bodily sensations to navigate through trauma.
Yoga: Boosts bodily mindfulness and alleviates stress.
Somatic Experiencing: Helps discharge trauma-induced physical tension.
Tai Chi: Enhances equilibrium through deliberate movements.
Massage Therapy: Facilitates emotional liberation through easing muscle tightness.
Acupuncture: Activates the body's healing spots.
Craniosacral Therapy: Eases stress through soft manipulations of the skull and spine.
Breathwork: Employs breathing techniques for better physical and psychological well-being.
Dance Movement Therapy: Merges emotional expression with physical activity.
Mental Therapies:
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy: Bridges the gap between mental impacts and bodily reactions.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Aids in memory processing through eye movements.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): Aims to transform harmful thought patterns.
IFS (Internal Family Systems): Promotes healing within different parts of the psyche.
NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming): Modifies behavior via language and thought patterns.
Neurofeedback: Boosts brain activity for better function.
MBCT (Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy): Combines mindfulness practices with cognitive therapeutic techniques.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Investigates the influence of past experiences.
Narrative Therapy: Helps individuals reframe their life stories.
Please remember that I am not a therapist. Speaking to a professional will help you figure out what course of action is better for you.
