what's a blissfullyecho text post without being a problematic queen? i have no idea, but anyway, here i am spilling what i think is just not it when it comes to self-development ;) lol
saying/writing/listening to affirmations aren't as powerful as you think. if you don't love yourself, forcing yourself to say "i love myself" 100 times every morning and every night isn't going to magically change how you feel about yourself. i get that people like affirmations because it makes them feel good in that current moment, but actual CHANGE isn't going to happen. you have to work on what it is you're trying to accomplish and actually be hands-on.... not just saying shit that you don't believe in right now. saying "i weigh 120lbs" when you weigh 210lbs is ridiculous. saying "a lot of quality men are attracted to me" when you are a psycho loon with bad hygiene and no life direction is also ridiculous. affirmations will make you feel good and cutesy in the moment, but you need to be HANDS ON and actively work on yourself. being passive rarely ever works.
2. gratitude lists are so unnecessary. while i think it's important to remember that you're in a position that some people are dying to be in, i also think you don't have to write a gratitude list of 10 things you're grateful for every morning either. it's just a "filler" to add to your morning routine that gives you a sense of false productivity.
3. romanticizing your life is just a fancy way of saying "my life is just not where i want it to be right now so I'm going to settle for it and make it look better than what it really is" girl, go work on what you're trying to romanticize. if you really had a life you loved, you wouldn't try to come up with ways to make it feel more cutesy and comfortable. work on it.
4. NOT EVERYTHING IS TOXIC. i had an anon tell me the other day, the word toxic has been thrown around so much that it holds NO weight. just because your little feelings were hurt, doesn't mean you can label someone as toxic. toxic requires manipulation and malintent. if your feelings were hurt over someone else's opinions, they aren't toxic. not everyone will see things how you see them. i shouldn't have to tell adults this.
5. some of you abuse the fuck out of rest days. "oh I'm resting because it's good for my mental health". listen girl, you taking a rest day 1-2 days a week is a lot different than you taking a rest day EVERY DAY. be an adult and tackle your responsibilities. life waits for NO ONE.
