✵✵ Gentle Reminders ✵✵
A thread made up of simple suggestions and reminders to add some positivity into your daily life; Feel free to share any gentle reminders that you think will help people, or help yourself
Gentle Reminder: writing to do lists can help clarify what you have to get done, but its okay if you dont have the energy to do so - youre only human
Gentle Reminder: some people are incapable of self-reflecting, and instead put the blame on you - please try your best to remember that its not always your fault
Gentle Reminder: There's absolutely nothing wrong with you, you're not different from others. You're just stressed, exhausted, confused, mad, lonely, and you've been trying so hard, and these make you overthink. So, just stop. Stop feeding all the craps your mind is telling you to get you to stop living. You're okay. You're healthy. You're normal. You're safe.
Just adding a beautiful and true gentle reminder:
We are not given our darkness to STAY in it.
We are given our darkness to RISE out of it like a Pheonix!
Gentle Reminder: You are not your past, nor your abusive father, nor your failures, nor your mistakes, nor your illnesses.
Gentle Reminder: staying positive is good, but sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is admit that things aren't greatest
Gentle Reminder: doing nothing generates its own momentum, try your best to break the cycle - it doesnt have to be huge, try taking the dishes from your room to the kitchen or picking up some clothes off the floor; its okay if you cant, just try again tomorrow
Gentle Reminder: its okay, take as much time as you need: write down the things you can do, as little as they are, or specific, take up as many sticky notes, pages, or whatever; write them down and cross them off when youre done - take as long as you need to accomplish your tasks, whether it takes a second, hours, days, or more, and just know, no matter how long it takes, that youre going to get through them
