here to remind you...

...that your struggles have always had to give up against you.

you might think that you had to lose against certain situations in life, but guess who is here today?

it's you! maybe not the version of yourself that you imagined but a version of you that has fought, gotten hurt, and yet prevailed to reach here, today.

be proud. you've been amazing. and keep going, no matter what ✨

being "outside your comfort zone" is doing something unfamiliar and daunting while having the skills, support, and resources to get through it - safely and healthily. it helps you.

"pushing yourself past your limits" is doing something that distresses your body/mind without the skills, support, and resources you need. it puts you at risk of further illness, trauma, injury, etc. it hurts you.

and you are the only person on this planet who can decide which category something falls in. you do not need a doctor or therapist's approval in order to have limits. no amount of schooling or practice can make someone know your needs, mind, body, or life better than you.

please trust yourself. go outside your comfort zone and grow when you can, but otherwise? don't sweat it. you're a person. not a machine.

Btw it's okay to half ass things. If a task seems too big? Half ass it. If it seems like too much effort? Don't put in all the effort. Just put in the effort you can. Cleaning your room is too much but it feels gross to be in? Clean your desk, or the floor, or the dresser, or whatever. It doesn't need to be all at once.

You can half ass things. It's better than not doing it at all. I love you, you've got this. <3

Is it invalid to worry about your environmental impact as a person who lives on this planet (especially when loads of other people seem to live in ignorant bliss or openly just do not care)?

Not at all.

But as disabled people* I really think we should allow ourselves those accommodations we need/that would make our lives easier.

Bottled body wash lathers easier and saves you that tiny bit of energy while you're washing up? Can't seem take care of your bar of soap so it runs out fast because it's always wet and actively makes your bathroom harder to clean? You deserve to preserve your energy and keep yourself clean. Use it.

Bottled water means your executive dysfunction won't get in the way of you getting hydrated? Means you can keep water by your bed so you don't have to endure the physical pain of walking to the kitchen? Means your OCD symptoms won't prevent you from drinking water for hours-days at a time? You deserve to drink water without stressing. Drink it.

Paper plates and plastic utensils mean you get to eat without having to worry about dishes + prevents you from having an overwhelming sink full of every dish you own covered in rotting, smelly food that may even attract bugs and cause them to breed in your sink? You deserve to eat freely and live in a clean and safe environment. Use them.

Can't wash clothes on the regular let alone cleaning rags due to energy/executive function, ability, finances, ect.? Use paper towels. For whatever reason you need them. Spills so you don't take up your only clean towel and risk it sitting + developing mold and mildew. Wiping off your counters. Dusting. Drying your dishes. Drying your hands. I literally do not give a fuck. Use them!

Use frozen vegetables that come in plastic bags and frozen meals that come in single use plastic and floss sticks and plastic cups and precut fruit and veg and whatever little necessary 'convenience' you can think of that makes your life easier. Just because you Technically, Physically can pull it off doesn't mean you should and it's important we think about the consequences of our actions even if we're the only ones really impacted by them. You're important. And for a lot of us, these things are what makes the difference between Getting Things Done At All and sitting in shame because we can't bring ourselves to make our own everything and do everything the long or right way. We put too much pressure on ourselves to make up for what abled people aren't doing themselves. If Anybody deserves a break it's us.

Don't misconstrue this as discouragement from doing what you can or whatever, but I need all of us to be a lot more realistic about what impacts our lives and which trade offs are worth it for our own sake.

It's unfortunate that we don't have options for more sustainable resources when it comes to taking care of ourselves, but it shouldn't fall on us to choose between a significantly more difficult life or feeling guilt free. Advocate where you can for better treatment of the planet, and until that can happen-- non-disabled people can and should pick up the slack for us. They literally have that option and the impact they face is an infinitesimal inconvenience compared to the real health/quality of life consequences that build up in such a severe way over time. We deserve that little bit of leeway.

*disabled includes both physical and mental ailments on this post btw

Want a *quick* science-backed way to reduce stress? 🙌

Have you ever heard of the "physiological sigh"? It's a natural and automatic deep breath that we take throughout the day to reset our respiratory system and calm our mind. But you can also use this technique intentionally to reduce stress and improve your focus.

To practice the physiological sigh:

Breathe in through your nose (if you can), pause, and then take a second short inhale.

Followed by one long slow exhale through your mouth

This breathing pattern helps to reduce CO2 levels in the body, slows your heart rate, and leaves you feeling calmer, less tense, and more focused. It's a great technique to use anytime you're feeling overwhelmed or need to regain your composure.

So next time you feel stressed, try the physiological sigh and see how it can help you feel more centered and relaxed. Research has even found that when done for five minutes per day it is more effective than meditation or box breathing and can have a lasting impact.

Check out this article to learn about the physiological sigh (aka cyclic breathing).

just a reminder...

...that your best today doesn't define your calibre in life.

maybe you did very well. maybe you didn't. either way, one day cannot define your capabilities.

you're amazing everyday because you do your best everyday, no matter what that 'best' looks like. you're the best ✨

You deserve to make room for yourself the same way you do for others.

⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹

Just like others, you are a person! If you are struggling to love yourself, consider how you treat yourself. Would you authentically love someone who talks to you the way you do? How can you expect to love yourself when you wouldn't even be friends with someone who treats others that way? It is an act of self-disrespect to ignore your own needs and desires.

I don't say this to make you feel ashamed of your self-talk, but rather to invoke a look outside for a change. We are always looking inside ourselves so often that we don't notice our simple worth as a person, a human, a being on the earth. Millions of people consider themselves the one exception.

You deserve to eat yummy foods like our friends do. You deserve to be treated with respect like our peers do. You deserve to feel the sun on your face the same way a flower does. You deserve to forgive yourself for things that you regret. You deserve more than "I'm used to it." You deserve to move your body the same way a dog deserves to be taken on a walk. You deserve to live a fulfilling life where your needs are met.

It's time to apologize to yourself. It's time to take accountability for all the ways you antagonized yourself. It's time to mend the relationship with your own body and your own mind. You don't have to keep fighting with yourself, you are allowed to repair things that have been broken. Offer yourself grace and kindness, just as you would for others. Forgive yourself by making it up to yourself.

#my life changed when I recognized that I am not an exception for who is deserving of happiness #How can I ever be happy without energy sources or safety or love #having better relationships with ourselves also sets the stage for better relationships with others! but I'll take about that later #text #self love #self acceptance #mental health tips #mental health #self care #self worth #healing #self reflection #mental wealth

Some days, I wish I knew how to give up. I wish I knew how to stop and just... not do this anymore. But I don't know how. All that pain instilled such a drive in me, a sense that quitting is not an option. It's been a blessing and a burden. But I'll persist, because honestly I don't know how to stop.
