reacting vs. responding
do you sometimes tend to react out of anger or emotion but then later wish you would have handled things differently?
well, thankfully knowing the difference between reacting vs. responding can help you, not just in heated situations but in all situations and conversations. it'll show that you're a person of elegance, thoughtfulness, and maturity. so, here's an explanation of both and a guide on how to apply this to your life effectively:
·˚ ༘ "When you react, you let others control you. When you respond, you are in control." - Bohdi Sanders ·˚ ༘
REACTING:
an immediate & emotional reply
instincts and conditioned behavior take over
no second thought for whether the reaction will have a negative or positive outcome
comes from a place of defense and possibly fear
ᡣ𐭩 reacting is instant and often driven by emotion, it's like a reflex. reactions don't involve much thought, like snapping at someone when you're upset. reacting tends to lead to escalated situations which leads to unintended consequences.
so next time you're stuck in traffic or there's a long line at the store you really wanted to buy something from, pause and acknowledge your emotions. say to yourself "this is not in my control but i will do what is in my control". and this could involve calmly finding a new route to take to avoid heavy traffic or just deciding to order online from that desired store. think logically! 😊
RESPONDING:
you evaluate the situation and slow down
you can identify and become aware of unpleasant emotions
weighs long term effects
comes from a place of love and respect
shows you are mindful and have self control
ᡣ𐭩 responding, on the other hand, involves pausing, assessing and choosing the logic/right course of action. it shows that you are secure within yourself and thoughtful. RESPONDING = UNDERSTANDING
so next time someone criticizes you or you get into a disagreement, always PAUSE FIRST, acknowledge that whoever is criticizing you is coming from a place of anger and insecurity, then calmly respond by saying "i'm sorry that you are frustrated, could you explain your concerns further?" and go from there. a simple understanding goes a long way. it doesn't only help the situation but it leaves you with a good self conscious.
another great way of responding is to simply walk away!
choosing to respond empowers growth, strengthens connection and helps you to stand out in a world full of overly sensitive people. remember, every situation is an opportunity to practice this skill and grow. happy living and au revoir!😊
Don't force, don't beg, don't chase, just flow.

The love you give to others is a reflection of the love you're capable of giving yourself. Nurture both equally.
You did the best you could, and that is always enough. You can't replay your life. Be kind to yourself.
40 Examples of Self Abandonment 🤕👎💭💔
Self-abandonment means not taking care of yourself, your needs, and your feelings. It's like ignoring what's good for you and not being kind to yourself normally in a way that benefits everyone but you.
Not eating well or exercising.
Pretending to be happy when you're not.
Working too much without breaks.
Staying in a bad relationship.
Letting people use you.
Forgetting about things you enjoy.
Not saying what you want.
Always doing things for others.
Not asking for help when you're sad or stressed.
Being alone when you need friends.
Saying mean things to yourself in your head.
Giving up your dreams for others.
Avoiding problems instead of solving them.
Never taking time to relax.
Ignoring how you look or feel.
Not asking for help when things are too hard.
Trying to be perfect all the time.
Doing things that hurt you, like drugs or danger.
Changing who you are to fit in.
Not being yourself and doing what others want.
Ignoring your body when it needs rest or sleep.
Letting others make decisions for you all the time.
Keeping your feelings bottled up inside.
Surrounding yourself with people who bring you down.
Not pursuing your interests or hobbies.
Saying "yes" to everything, even when you're overwhelmed.
Putting up with disrespect or mistreatment from others.
Not giving yourself credit for your accomplishments.
Skipping important appointments or check-ups.
Holding onto grudges and negative emotions.
Comparing yourself unfavorably to others.
Not taking breaks when you're stressed.
Neglecting your financial well-being and overspending.
Ignoring signs of burnout or exhaustion.
Avoiding seeking help for mental health struggles.
Ignoring your own intuition and gut feelings.
Overcommitting and spreading yourself too thin.
Constantly seeking validation from others.
Letting fear hold you back from trying new things.
Dwelling on past mistakes and not forgiving yourself.
Replace "I need their validation" with "My worth was never up for negotiation. Their approval is irrelevant to my existence."
Before you get someone to be your valentine and call you their pretty girl or their goddess, become your own valentine. Treat yourself like how you would want your loved one to treat you. It might sound weird at first but call yourself a pretty girl. Call yourself a goddess. Make the most of valentine's day alone and cherish yourself. And remember that valentine's day is not just a one day 'I love myself and others' trend, everyday should be valentine's day. Treat everyone with love on all days, not just on occasions.
From me to you, I sincerely which all of you a happy valentine's day and I want to let you all know that each and every one of you is worth it. I love you, good girls! xx
rotting vs resting
there’s a fine line between giving yourself the rest you need and slipping into a cycle of neglect
resting is recharging. rotting is escaping
resting feels nourishing. rotting feels numbing
resting is taking a break to come back stronger. rotting is staying stuck in the same loop
resting is letting yourself exist without pressure. rotting is avoiding the things that would actually make you feel better
resting is choosing peace. rotting is letting exhaustion make choices for you
rest isn’t lazy. you deserve slow mornings, cozy afternoons and nights of deep sleep. but if “rest” is leaving you feeling drained, uninspired, and disconnected, maybe it’s not rest, it’s self-abandonment in disguise
