You cannot live alone on the fantasies you feed to your mind, eventually you have to touch your life for real, assess and analyze your habits, understand your character, try not to hate yourself for your character as it was shaped when you were very young by circumstances outside of you, and begin learning how to cope with your character, how to build habits that work for you, finish small projects, finish big projects, expose yourself to more uncomfortable situations, assess why you want to leave that friendship before you leave it, raise your anxiety levels on purpose, so that you can grow, raise your work load on purpose, so that you can grow, so that you can build resilience, so that your life expands, and can be experienced by you in full and in reality

things i realized in therapy:

i am allowed to be angry with people when they hurt me, even if they are sensitive and cant cope well with being told they did something wrong. their sensitivity does not mean i have to bottle up my feelings & their lack of coping skills does not make me expressing my anger abusive.

shocking, i know. truly shocking.

How To Help Your Kids Reframe Their Anxiety — And Reclaim Their Superpowers : Life Kit

Kids have anxiety — but it's not always a bad thing. Renee Jain and Dr. Shefali Tsabary have some ideas about how to help children use those feelings to their advantage.

They believe anxiety is normal, but that instead of accepting it, we try and reject, diminish or get rid of the feeling. “We live in this culture of denial and avoidance of difficult, challenging feelings. And because we are illiterate to our emotions, we don’t understand how to feel and how to be,” Tsabary says.

For kids, that can lead to unhealthy ways of coping, including self-medicating, cutting or other addictive behaviors. Tsabary says they wrote the book for children “to honor, validate, give permission, give space for feelings to be allowed to be just felt.”

All children are born with superpowers, they write, that get ‘zapped’ as they grow older. The book is chock full of examples and exercises for kids to get back their natural abilities, which the authors say, helps them manage their anxiety.

One of these superpowers is resilience. When young children learn to walk, Jain says, “They will fall and they will get up and they will fall and they will get up. They don’t say, 'you know what? I’m just not going to do this,” she laughs. Children keep trying because they don’t equate falling with failing, she says. Other super powers include children being curious, being original, being whole and being energized.

If it applies to other people, it also applies to you. If other people are born deserving of love, kindness, respect and support, so are you. If no one else are born deserving of pain, suffering, trauma and abuse, neither were you. If other people deserve to have their needs met and accommodated, so do you. You don't have to love yourself if you don't know how to do that. You just have to keep reminding yourself that you are not an exception. That you're a person like everyone else who is worthy of everything a person is born worthy of, no matter how negatively you may still feel about yourself.
