Another walk through the park to the woods for birds. Hope you’re not too bored with the same scenes all the time. I love watching how they change

I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of stargazing, no matter how old I get, even to old and gray white hair. To think God created everything in this universe and has us here on this planet in the perfect conductions to sustain life. It’s incredible. God is so amazing. I’m so thankful to be alive!

[descensos]

hate this idea of "you are ok the way you are" but I am very fond of the idea that God made you as you are with intent and for purpose

[thewritingautisticat]

YES

God made you this way for a purpose. He made you in His image; He wove you in your mother's womb.

BUT

He also made you to change. The Image of God in you has been broken, and He made you to be transformed back into that image. God made you to GROW and DEVELOP and become the person you were made to be. And that process of growth glorifies Him.

As my favorite quote says, "God loves you the way you are, but He loves you too much to leave you the way you are."

"You're crying over space travel?"

I'm crying over how science is love, all the way down - love of the world, love of learning, love of the bold explorer and the curious at home alike, love of humanity, love of the God who made us in his image and all of this around us as his fingerprints for us to seek and discover.

my mom taught me the therapeutic power of cleaning. open all the windows. throw out the old. wipe down the entire house. burn some incense. roast some coffee. then rest. that way the tears from last night don’t feel as heavy. 

[umushingwe]

She just wanted you to clean the house

[plants-andgames-deactivated2021]

No it’s actually been studied and proven that for people with anxiety and depression that it’s really good for us it gives us a sense of control, setting, and being well grounded. It allows to make a new place out of the old and is really relaxing

[mysticorset]

It is such a catch-22, that cleaning when you are depressed (and likely less able to gather the executive functioning to do so) also alleviates it. After having a good clean, I always feel more in control and less stressed. It’s the getting started that is the hardest part. The good news is, even a tiny bit of cleaning has a positive effect, so start with what you can manage.

[ariverofmilk-deactivated2019041]

Even if you just clean up the immediate area around you, even if you clean a little at a time or spaced out over days, you’ll feel lighter.

[thedemonsurfer]

This!!

Even if all you can do is put three dishes in the dishwasher, or move the dirty laundry pile to outside the laundry door, or throw out that box of leftovers that have been sitting in the fridge for 2 weeks

it counts.

[robinontherun]

My therapy professor always gets his patients to just wipe the bathroom mirror when they’re feeling that way. Just the mirror, nothing more. But then by the time his patients are done with the mirror, most of them report “well, I was already in the bathroom, so I did the sink and tub too.” And before they know it, they’ve cleaned an entire bathroom.

[wishful-thinkment]

My therapist once told me that, every day, I should try and do at least one thing that I either enjoyed, or gave me a sense of mastery. And honestly, the enjoyment thing can kind of seem overrated, especially when you feel like crap, but the mastery thing? Doing laundry or taking out the trash or whatever else I can bring myself to accomplish?

Holy shit, man… it’s /good/

[illogical-bullshit]

This stuff saved my ass back when I had depression. Vacuuming the room, spraying some febreze shit and wiping some countertops works wonders.

tiny baby steps are helpful

do what you can, forgive yourself for what you can’t, and challenge yourself to do better tomorrow (and it’s okay to fail at this; just try again the next tomorrow)

adhd demand avoidance/paralysis is the fuckin enemyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[nitw]

SAY IT WITH ME KIDS (AND ADULTS)

it doesn't need to be perfect, try not to expect it to be

the hypothetical feeling of unfulfillment you're trying to avoid is nothing compared to the shame you'll almost certainly feel if you end up not trying at all

it's easier to pick up from step 1/10 than step 0/10

if you need to get moving and are currently not moving, try moving in an unrelated way. do something else. literally anything else outside of The Thing just don't stay frozen

yes this will happen again, no the solution won't always be the same, no your past experience won't always make it easier. BUT if you can internalize these things at least you might not be as surprised or feel as guilty(!!!) when it happens and THAT can do a lot of heavy lifting

Okay, I gotta say this nuance aloud, though maybe everyone already understood it.

When people discuss the importance of using things, such as special plates, candles, special clothes- they will say that it's best to use them all the time, and that this makes each day special or something like that.

Which is only part of the picture if you ask me.

It's good not to hoard things forever, but if you use everything all the time, it also leaves certain special times as kind of indistinct from anything else. Like having a Christmas tree up all year kind of takes something away from it.

So here's my rephrasing: special things should have a concrete time of use, not an abstract one.

If you have an outfit you love but have it dedicated to only wear once a year on a specific day? Totally fine! You are using it, and it is contributing something to your life.

If you have plates that you'll only use 'for a special occasion' but haven't touched them in years? Evidently you don't know how to recognize a special occasion and should try and think of more specific qualifiers.

Some nice things make every day special, and others make certain times unique. It doesn't have to be one or the other, there's also joy in restraint. You just have to make sure perfectionism isn't slipping into how you use the ones that are only for some of the time.
