one thing at a time. one chore, one assignment, one task, one day. one at a time and go from there. breathe. you can do this- this one thing.

It's okay to be messy, to be lousy, to be confused and try different things all at once. At the right time, you'll find your way out of this confusion, realize what's really important and grow your abilities. Just be patient and let things flow without trying to constantly control them or fear running out of time (it will only stress you and increase your confusion)

one important thing that Must be understood about interpersonal relationships is that you have to stop interacting with people who love you like they’re one slip-up away from leaving you. you have to trust that the ppl you love mean what they say. you have to believe that when they say “this hurt my feelings,” that they’re also saying, “can you please love me this other way next time?” and you have to wrap your head around the fact that even if you don’t understand Why someone loves you, you can accept that that they do. true, honest, & open love does not function like hp in a video game !!!!!!

Things take time. Change takes time, so does healing. But it’s okay, because we’re still here and we still have time. None of it was a waste. There is still hope, let your heart be full of it. ❤️‍🩹🌱

❌Instead of…

The mountain of tasks and demands on me in my life right now is insurmountable. It’s crushing me into despair. And tears.

✅Let’s try…

zooming in to today. You can’t scale the whole mountain today. It’s impossible. Even if you didn’t eat, sleep, or do anything other than climb, you still wouldn’t reach the top. So, why are you thinking about the mountain at all? You’ve already planned out what you can reasonably do today and giving one ounce of mental or emotional energy to the rest of it will only create stress. Instead, I choose to cultivate the joy, calm and peace that comes from being focused on the moment.

Then tomorrow? We can climb a little more.

Daily Gratitude

What are you grateful for today?

Welcome to my gratitude support group! All are welcome to be a part of the gratitude crew. Re-blog, write a note or send an ask as often as makes sense for you (just once, every day, twice a year, a few times a month— doesn’t matter!)

I tag some of the crew several times a week. If you’d like to be on the tag list let me know.

All posts will be tagged ‘resiliencewithin’s daily gratitude group’.

Prompt (if you want): Something you are proud of (big or small).

Hey you, I just wanted to wish you good luck with the coming week. I hope it’s kind to you, and that if you are nerveous about something coming up, that it goes way better than expected. 🌸

some days the world can feel harsh, but please remember that it won’t feel that way forever. in the meantime, try to find beauty in the little things around you that you may not have noticed before. you will feel okay again one day.

One of my favorite ways to foster a life of peace is appreciate the “just fine.” the absence of bad can actually be good! it’s wonderful to have the medium to keep us regulated and neutral at times; it’s what makes emotions a spectrum. The neutral is m a gift, it soothes us from the intensity that life sometimes imposes. Take some time to appreciate the “just fine” in your day today. I love you.

Not to be all hopeful, but there is never an age where you stop "growing up." You can always say, "when I grow up..." because you never have a set point where you're done developing, growing, changing, and learning. You are still growing up, no matter how old you are 💛

the feeling that y are now handling situations better than your former self is extraordinary

Treat your meltdowns and shutdowns as medical events.

That is not a request or a suggestion.

Autistic meltdowns and shutdowns are extremely taxing, both mentally and physically.

When you have them, if you can take the next day off work or school, do so. You need it to rest and recover from the event.

If you need to give a reason, say it’s a migraine. People take migraines seriously and won’t give you shit for it. Whatever reason you need to give, you need the time off.

Doing this will go a long ways towards preventing burnout and just fostering overall health.

Same goes for non-autistic anxiety and panic attacks, honestly.

Just because it doesn’t seem physical doesn’t mean that it’s not. Meltdowns are a physiological event. Treat them as such.
