Are you a Godess

potentially

[marinaraistyping]

life is too short to not live. dance in the rain. run barefoot. stargaze from the middle of the street. sleep in the bed of a truck. close your eyes and listen to the ocean. tell that stranger you like her earrings. wear whatever you want. tell them how you feel. wander down random streets and pathways just to see where they lead. cut off all your hair. sprint through a field. learn what your own definition of really, actually, fully living is.

Some songs to help you if you’re feeling down // pt.2

Part 1 // Part 2 // Part 3 // Part 4

If you need to cry:

Here’s a favorite of mine. It’s very soft and mellow, like staring out of a car window or lying on your bed and watching dust glisten in the sunlight as tears roll down your cheeks.

Another

And another

It’s okay to cry. I promise.

If you need some comfort:

Maybe this one will help?

This song is soothing to me

Try some cute French music

If you need some quiet for a moment:

Close your eyes for 3 minutes and 36 seconds. Breathe.

Don’t think, just listen

Here you go

This is from a video game I haven’t played, but it sounds nice

If you’re feeling nostalgic:

This is my favorite song. It’s good to listen to sort of loud. Just tune everything else out

Listen to this one. It reminds me of what it was like to be 6, and it never fails to warm my heart and make me smile

This one too. (If you’re feeling a bit resentful about no longer being young.)

If you need to remember where you belong:

I know it’s popular, but a little Ed Sheeran always helps me

I’m recommending this one again

Think of home

If you’re feeling angry:

Listen to this on full blast. (Warning: cursing)

Or this (Warning: more cursing)

Or maybe this (Warning: even more cursing)

Or this one! (This one is clean!)

We all need a little more P!nk in our lives

If you need a confidence boost:

You can do it!

I believe in you! (no, this isn’t Disney. Shhhh)

You’re unbreakable

♥♥♥♥♥

Wonder Woman!

Do you just need a light-feeling song?:

Try this one

Or this one

Try some more Disney

Listen!

THIS is my go-to happy song

Weird feelings that have to do with love?:

I like this one a lot

Emmylou by First Aid Kit is nice

Maybe this one will give you some comfort?

♥ I hope you feel better soon, but for now, it’s okay if you want to cry, or scream, or close your eyes and shut out the world. Everyone has rough days. Take your time. Breathe. Listen. ♥

Anxiety symptoms and why they happen.

Understanding your anxiety and the symptoms is an important part of recovery and learning to calm anxiety attacks. Hopefully this can help somebody.

(based off of a hand out I got in the psych hospital)

Anxiety & Helping Someone Cope.  I didn’t want to make it overwhelming or too long remember, so I kept it to the main points that benefit me greatly when I’m experiencing an attack. 40 million of Americans alone suffer with anxiety; it’s a horrid feeling when you know someone just wants to help you but you cannot even construct a simple sentence at the time, so please share this in hope that it benefits even just 1 person. Muchos love.

If no one has told you today:

🌻 I’m so proud of you

🌻 Just concentrate on your breathing, it will be okay

🌻 You deserve happiness

🌻 You are not your mental illness

🌻 You deserve to recover

🌻 I’m super proud of you

🌻 I love you

🌻 If I could, I would hug each and every one of you

🌻 Please eat something today and make sure to drink some water. If you are tired, take a nap

🌻 Please look after yourself

🌻 You deserve love

And then some.

[marinaraistyping]

I want to radiate love. I want to pursue happiness and peace in every aspect of my life. That’s all I ask of myself.

[absentlyabbie]

if all you can do is a half-assed job, then half-ass it.

if all you can do is part, or get started, then do that, go as far as you can.

it’s okay. do what you can, give what you’ve got. if you can only clean half the mirror, or the bathroom sink but not get to the toilet, or only vacuum one room, then okay. you did something. and that means something was accomplished.

fuck the yoda wisdom of this shitty world.

try.

Self care tip: Fill your dash with content that makes you happy. Don’t be ashamed of unfollowing or blocking blogs that stress you out. This is your internet experience, so follow blogs and tags that help your mental health.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Valentine’s Day is a day for love. Not strictly a day for couples. You can celebrate love without having a partner, because romantic love isn’t the only love that exists. You can have love for your family, for your friends, for your pets, for yourself. For whatever you want, honestly. I had been dreading the holiday because I didn’t have anyone to spend it with until I realized it was still a day I could participate in. It’s not exclusive to anyone. In fact, I plan on using it to be extra kind to myself, since sometimes I’m not. I’m going to practice self love on Valentine’s Day to make up for the times I haven’t. I am the most consistent thing in my life. My body does what it can to keep me alive. I deserve to treat it well. I deserve love, too, whether I’m in a relationship or not. I want some flowers, so I’ll be getting some. I want some hibachi, so I’ll be getting some. I want a nice bubble bath, so I’ll be taking one. You don’t have to be “in love” with someone else to celebrate; you can use it as an opportunity to show love to yourself.
