the progress you’ve made is not lost, even if you’ve relapsed. the lessons you’ve learned and your recovery journey aren’t wasted or forever gone. progress is not linear and having your ups and downs is completely normal when you are recovering. it may feel like a definite setback, but please be gentle with yourself!!!! you have already struggled and hurt so much!!! you don’t need to extend your hurt by punishing yourself for not being “healed or recovered enough.” you are worthy of your own utmost respect, especially in your worst moments.
if we could all stop pretending we are whole, and instead embrace our constant becoming…
…perhaps we could begin to love the process of growth and change, rather than anxiously awaiting the final form.
Someone asked me, “Aren’t you worried about the state of the world?”
I allowed myself to breathe and then I said, “What is most important is not to allow your anxiety about what happens in the world to fill your heart. If your heart is filled with anxiety, you will get sick, and you will not be able to help.
Yes, there is tremendous suffering all over the world, but knowing this need not paralyze us.”
- Thich Nhat Hanh
~THE ROOT CAUSE OF WHY ARE WE SO WILLINGLY GIVING OUR POWER AWAY ~
In our society we are not welcomed to express our authentic self and our authentic emotions. If we try anyway we get mocked, attacked or ignored. This causes a lot of emotional wounds that we are not able to process. The only way we can handle these disturbing circumstances is to put unwanted parts of us and our painful emotions into our Shadow.
Our Shadow are the parts of us that we:
⚘ Reject
⚘ Suppress
⚘ Deny
⚘ and then Project
This is how we completely give our power away and create weak minds and weak bodies, where illnesses have the perfect conditions to fester, because we don't understand that we need to take responsibility for it. We "become" disempowered victims making everyone else responsible for "saving us" and "hurting us". This is a distortion and a delusion.
We allow the mind to drag us into the future and the past where we feel even more powerless because we can't change the future and we can't change the past. Where our true power lies is always in the present moment. We are always in our power when we are present and willing to feel and confront everything that is hiding inside us, now. When we commit to loving and caring for ourselves, now. When we make peace within us, now. When we stop running away, now. When we accept ourselves, now. That's how we make true, concrete change in us and in the world.
It’s okay that you are still learning. You will always be learning for as long as you are here. It is a necessity of the human experience.
There is no such thing as “time wasted”... everything you’ve ever done in your life has led you to this very moment! That nap you took that was longer than you’d liked, those hours you spent researching a topic you will probably never think about again, “lazy” days where you just sit with yourself... even if it doesn’t feel productive, all those are moments of your life that have shaped you and led you to the here and now. Because nothing in your life could have happened any other way. Life really is just little brushstrokes to create one big picture...

Self Care Tips From Tumblr: When you feel like everyone hates you, sleep. When you feel like you hate everyone, eat. When you feel like you hate yourself, shower. Someone out there feels better because you exist.

Honestly this is pretty good. This will settle a lot of issues.
you can’t heal in the same environment that made you sick.
