Embrace Your Changing Feelings

Accept the days you don’t feel great. Sometimes writing this shit is hard, especially with that Karac Plant piece. I was going to push forward, at least try, but realized that’s the definition of toxic positivity. I wasn’t okay. I let myself cry. Editing when it suited me and that’s fine. What kind of monster would I be if I were apathetic, having experienced what the child went through, myself? Point being, acknowledge your sorrow, embrace it as apart of the human & healing experience. Via: SunnyBloomInspiration

Are You Really Kind?

Being kind is great, except when it becomes martyrdom in the name of toxic positivity. I’ve finally learned my lesson in self sacrificing for love. Setting up healthy boundaries is difficult, for those who have blurred lines on what that looks like, here’s a chart. You can’t help someone else if you don’t fill your own cup. You can’t fill your own cup if you’re not prioritizing yourself. If it means losing something in a detrimental way, don’t do it. Ask yourself, are you really kind or just people pleasing (huge turn off for me, I find it spineless)? Why, can you find the root of this behavior? Via: Intuitive Annies Tarot

Beware Of Toxic Positivity

I’ll say it again, being positive all the time despite feeling otherwise is detrimental to your mental wellbeing. Pick something to work on for the week, is it accepting failure, staying balanced or better sleeping habits? Also figure out why you’ve built the toxic habits you need to dismantle.

Your Wits End

Feel how you feel. Let your emotions come and let your emotions go. Just don’t let them overtake you. Forcing positivity when you aren’t feeling your best is unhealthy and detrimental to your wellbeing. Cathartic release is the shit. What’s pushing you to your wits end currently?
