5 Mindfulness Practices for Feminine Healing and Managing Anxiety

Practicing mindfulness can be an effective tool for managing anxiety and promoting mental well-being. Here are five mindfulness practices that can help to promote feminine healing and manage anxiety, along with examples of how to incorporate each practice into your daily routine:

Connect with your breath

Take a few moments each day to connect with your breath. You can do this by sitting in a comfortable position and taking deep, slow breaths. As you breathe, focus on the sensations in your body and allow yourself to relax. You can incorporate this practice into your daily routine by taking a few deep breaths before getting out of bed in the morning or before starting a task at work.

Embrace your feminine energy

Allow yourself to be vulnerable and connect with your feminine energy. Engage in activities that bring you joy and allow you to express your creativity. This could include things like painting, dancing, or writing poetry. Schedule time each week to engage in activities that allow you to connect with your feminine energy.

Practice self-love

Show yourself love and compassion by practicing self-care. This can include things like taking a relaxing bath, getting a massage, or spending time in nature. Remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish, it's necessary for your well-being. Incorporate self-care activities into your daily routine, such as taking a few minutes each morning to stretch or having a cup of tea before bed.

Connect with your community

Building connections with others can be a powerful source of support and healing. Look for opportunities to connect with people in your community, whether it's through a support group, a social event, or an online community. Schedule time each week to connect with others, such as attending a community event or reaching out to a friend for a chat.

Cultivate gratitude

Take time each day to reflect on the things you're grateful for. This can help to shift your focus away from anxious thoughts and cultivate a sense of positivity. Consider starting a gratitude journal and writing down a few things you're thankful for each day. You can incorporate this practice into your daily routine by taking a few minutes each morning or evening to reflect on what you're grateful for.

What ADHD is Not..

ADHD. Attention Hyperactivity Deficit Disorder.

Being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult woman in the past year has taught me a lot about what I thought I knew about ADHD. Before I was diagnosed I’ve only ever know ADHD as something that children have/had. ADHD was the little boy more times out of not the little white boy that was bouncing off the walls and tearing down the classroom and terrorizing their classmates and teachers. I think most of us are acquainted with this being “poster child” of ADHD.

But what about those who don’t match that ? The ones that slip under the radar?

Little girls, Women, POC (people of color) who were either brushed off as being “bad”, mischievous, a trouble maker, a day dreamer, or full of potential if they only applied themselves.

Funny enough as a child I was considered extremely accident prone or “bad” because I was always getting myself into some sort of trouble or getting hurt. A few bumps, cuts, knocking myself unconscious and a round of stitches later with a sprinkle of being annoying to my peers eventually some how it “balanced” out and ya girl just started internalizing it all. I began masking in way to not step on any toes or bother anyone. Did it work? Yes. But at the cost of giving up being myself fully and completely and over analyzing so I don’t bother anyone. This would cause me to be anxious and on edge my entire school career and beyond. [Side note.. soo not worth it.]

So here’s a few things I learned what ADHD is not thus far..

*********************************************************************11) An Excuse

It’s not an excuse for our mishaps but more so of an explanation. Learning that I had ADHD and getting treated for it lifted the wool from my eyes I didn’t even know was there. All the potential my teachers said I had but I just didn’t apply myself, my struggles in school and barely just making it but never exceeding or excelling unless it was something of interest. (I.E while learning Mandarin in high school, I taught myself German up to intermediate level because it was more interesting for me. Luckily I managed to pass Mandarin by doing all my homework, participating, being a good student and thx to my mom)

Neurotypical individuals maybe able to do tasks with fewer cognitive obstacles but that doesn’t mean we don’t have the ability to do those tasks as well. Having ADHD is not death sentence nor does it mean that we are incapable of thriving. We have to find the best methods that work for us and our brains so we can excel and live the best life for us. At this point on treatment I’ve have been able to do tasks I would normally struggle with and so far I’ve been able to complete a few things too (finishing a online course to completion 1 out of 7 and starting course 2). While its not perfect, it’s a work in progress finding out what works for brain to do things. So find out what works for your brain and experiment, play around and see what brings you the best results.

2) Being outwardly hyperactive all the time (especially as an adult)

When I tell you it was always something with me, I mean it. As a kid I ended up getting stitches on Christmas vacation in Jamaica from just jumping around around the house, no rhyme or reason, my foot went through a glass table. I fell down the stairs and knocked myself out because I wanted to push the laundry cart down the stairs. Busted my lip running around in the hair salon and my ass in the fish market. Inhaled an inanimate object.. (Its long story but I need to get my chest checked one day lmao)

After the physical stuff “balanced” itself out it became annoyances. I’ve lost friends or found it difficult to make friends due to my “personality”. I was quite clingy and on top of my friends to play and eventually as you get older its not cool to bounce off the walls. I’ve been called annoying on numerous occasions, had “friends” hide from me because they didn’t want me to bother them, or made fun of for being “extra” or “animated”. I just thought it was kids being mean and it being a normal part of childhood.

As an adult now that outward energy is significantly less but I think it’s because I’ve had such negative reactions to my behaviors so I learned to internalize that energy. Unfortunately I never released it healthily so it just manifested itself as ongoing anxiety and overthinking and fidgeting. I'm still trying to figure out how to maintain that when it does happen. Luckily (thankfully) my moods have been more balanced.

3) It Doesn’t Mean You Don't Care

As a kid and even now I’ve been a day dreamer. Like vivid. In school I day dreamed it was raining pop corn shrimp and I swear I could taste it lmao. I would always get called out for being a space cadet or day dreaming or my teacher telling me to comeback to earth.

I remember the first thought I got lost in and potentially my first existential crisis at 8 y.o. It was a thought about people, and how every person was an individual, living their own individual lives, with their own issues, events, and jobs, all doing different things Than what I was doing right now. All this while staring out the window before my teacher called my attention back. Sometimes I would get easily distracted with my own items that would get confiscated because I was focusing on it more than the teacher (books, journals). I just figured I had an overactive imagination or was a deep thinker that liked to get lost in thought.

As an adult day dreaming and lack of focus gets less of a pass than you would get as a child. As an adult you have no choice but to pay attention to things or otherwise it comes across as you not caring. This doesn’t fair so well when it comes to relationships intimate, work, and friendly.

I still get distracted today but less now that I am on medication. Life before medication I would zone out quite a bit and stay in my head. If I wasn’t thinking about some unrealistic scenario, I had moments of blankness. During conversations, If I didn’t overtake the conversation talking endlessly I would be in my head while they were talking thinking of what to say to what they were sharing. At work my peers and boss felt I wasn’t present with the work responsibilities they always felt they had to guide and tell me what needed to be done which was true. I was always focused on one aspect of the job and not the whole picture. While I haven’t tried working while on treatment I notice a change now in my conversations with people. In my conversations I could now actually be apart of the conversation, this has the been the first time that I have been able to have conversation and actually listen and take in the information. I have been able to experience what it feels like to be an active participant in a conversation and not an outsider waiting and calculating what needs to be said next.

I’m still learning about more things that ADHD is not and I look forward to sharing more of these discoveries with you as I experience them through my eyes and being. Is there anything that you learned about ADHD that you didn’t expect in relation to your life right now? I’d love to hear from you ladies !

Sleepy Night Time Self Care Routine ?

It’s late. I am exhausted. I’ve over eaten. I’m emotionally spent for the day. what to do ? What to do when you don’t feel like doing anything here’s my lazy sleepy girl self care routine~

Brush Brush Brush Your Teeth

As much as I may not want to, first I will brush my teeth. Got to keep them clean and healthy because we only get like one pair after we lose the baby ones so best get ‘er done. Annd don’t forget to floss boo-boo..

But Do I Really Need To Wash My Face Thoo ??

2. Yes. We do. Our skin is the largest organ we have so we better. (I’ll probably use the same line in another skin related post) The real question is how much effort should I put into it tonight ? The answer will be very minimal cause we’re exhausted don’t forget. I find I go in phases. Either I’ll rinse my face with water. Pat dry. Then cleanse with Witch Hazel. Or I’ll wash my face with a gentle face wash.Pat dry. Moisturize. I then to do the first one if I really don’t have the energy. I might moisturize if I’m feeling adventurous.

My hair My Hair

3. My hair. I have a love hate relationship with her. Sometimes I love her 4cish glory and other times I would strangle her if she were a person. I’m learning though what she likes and what she doesn’t so I play by air. My hair is usually already in a protective style (i.e. twists, flat twist,etc.) so this saves me so much time and suffering compared to if I didn’t. I just give her a quick spritz with water cause shes always thirsty cause she love water & some leave in to keep her juicy... even though shes frizzy af in this flat twist but its okay! we’re learning..( that and I just learned how to flat twist...)

It’s Time To Settle Down~

4.) This is my lazy girl routine so I think it’s fair that it only has less than a hand ful of steps. To settle down, I make sure I have some water take so delicious gulps to keep my body happy and hydrated. I lie down, make sure to plug away my phone but before this sometimes depending on how Im feeling I may play an audio or a guided sleep mediation because following the rules makes me go to sleep. Usually I drift away by like minute 5-15. If I don’t use audio I try to self meditate.. usually I get bored and fall asleep.. but I don’t think that’s how meditation is suppose to go... anyway it helps. (I’ll try and get it right one day)

That’s Alisia’s Lazy Sleepy Girl Self Care Routine for sleepy time....What’s your night time lazy routine ? Leave a comment below. (I think you can leave a comment. I’m not sure yet but I think so so please do!)

Have you all felt a heightened need for self-care in the last few weeks/months? I know I have. • As if the health crisis that brought months of frustration, uncertainty and sadness wasn't bad enough, now we have to contend with more instances of racial injustice in the midst of it all. I find it infuriating and mentally draining. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, for me, self-care has never been more important and, today, I'm sharing three things that I've been doing to help me maintain my sanity during the last few weeks over on my blog (link in bio). . . . . . . . #selfcaresunday #melaninbloggers #blackcreatives #naturallyshesdope #plussizeinfluencer #plussizeblogger #plussizeblog #browngirlbloggers #blackinfluencer #naturalhairsistas #blackgirlswhoblog #blackcreators #blackbloggersclub #browngirlblogger #blackcontentcreator #melaninrich #blackselfcare #blackwomenhealing #blackhealing https://www.instagram.com/p/CCBtSEhpMyh/?igshid=d0agq0q7ksup

I am team hypergamy so ladies do not let his statement bother you, not all men think like this. A REAL provider, competent MASCULINE man will buy his woman anything in the world whether or not if she could afford it. Real men don’t care about tax brackets, degrees, career titles, etc. A real man secures the bag and doesn’t mind investing it into his woman/family. A real man wouldn’t mind his woman asking him for anything if he got it, if he doesn’t then he will find a way. And women shouldn’t be afraid to ask for anything. Tory Lanez has a stingy mindset and will only attract low vibration women. Let me know how you feel in the comments below 👎🏾. I would love to know your thoughts! #hypergamy #levelup #luxurylifestyle #dating #goaldigger #selfcare #selflove #blackselfcare #blackselflove #blackbloggers #blackhomemaker #blackfemininity #feminineenergy #feminine #singleness #blackwomen https://www.instagram.com/p/B570kJAnYqM/?igshid=8heejg6auc2a

Grandmother, the alchemist, you spun gold out of this hard life, conjured beauty from the things left behind. Found healing where it did not live. Discovered the antidote in your own kitchen. Broke the curse with your own two hands. You passed these instructions down to your daughter who then passed it down to her daughter. #thankyou #gratitude #blackgirlhealing #blackselfcare #blackgirlmagic #warsanshire https://www.instagram.com/p/B5hDekTAPwf/?igshid=18xu7rzpth748
