We should still feel good about the little things we do! For tidying up, for eating a healthy snack, for going to bed on time, for not criticizing ourselves for a mistake. While it might not seem like much, the least we can do is thank our selves. ♡ All the little things make a big difference in our lives!

Jun 17, 2020 - Stuck in automatic negative thoughts can be mentally exhausting. Learn these 6 steps to challenge and reframing thoughts in

In therapy, you might hear the phrase “reframe your cognitive distortions”. In simpler terms, it means redirect your negative thoughts.

I have seen many therapist and even been in a rehab facility for 2 months and I thought this wasn’t important. I have come to find this is one of the most effective ways to relieve depression and anxiety.

Changing the way you think is hard. You can’t control your thoughts, but you can control what happens after. It’s painstaking work to do this every time you need to. I have to do this probably every 5 minutes!

But, it is worth it. Try it out and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Best of luck and XOXO 💙

Poems & Words

[oncesophanatime]

Mental Illness makes you feel so insecure about relationships with friends. You wonder if they will leave you. You wonder if they really like you. You wonder if you’re a burden to them.

Don’t let anxiety and depression win. You are loved. You are valuable. You are wanted. You are not a burden or mistake.

If you’re having these thoughts, CHALLENGE THEM. That is the shitty committee in your mind talking. Shut. Them. Up. You are loved and highly favored.

People who do not struggle with a chronic illness don’t always understand how taxing it is just to do everyday activities.

They need to be educated and open to having understanding and compassion.
