Positive Vibes Only

Hello! I'm a 20-year-old university student from Finland and recently I've felt like this world needs more positivity than it already has. I strongly believe in accepting everyone the way they are and loving the world we have. This blog is my way to support body positivity and feminism and the LGBT community and EVERYONE out there. I'm still learning to love myself the way I am but maybe we'll learn together. ✨

New Year's resolutions?

I didn’t make one. I’m not going to make one. Why? They put way too much pressure on me and I just don’t see a point in making one. We say ourselves that it’s ok to live this old way for this one more week and then the year changes and so do we. But why not start earlier? If we feel like something needs to change - why do we wait until the end of the year?

Perhaps I could say that this year I want to be even kinder and more loving than ever before. But it’s not really my new year’s resolution - it’s my everyday goal.

So what I’m trying to say here is this: if making resolutions feels a little forced or distressing in any sort of way, don’t make them at all. It’s unfair to presume we can change over one night. Just give yourself some time and understanding.

Love, Positivity warrior.

P. S. I hope 2017 will be beautiful for you all!

Merry Christmas!

Over the holidays I want everyone to remember that you don't have to earn what you eat - you deserve every single bite. Treat your body and mind with love. Do what you love to do. Eat what you love to eat. Have a holly jolly Christmas. Love, Positivity warrior

Health is not just about what you’re eating. It’s also about what you’re thinking and saying.

This Comedian Nails Why The Mental Illness + Creativity Connection is Ridiculous

[merindab]

I used to really worry that medications would harm my creativity and it’s part of why I resisted taking them. It hasn’t. If anything it’s allowed me to be more focused and able to complete things. My imagination hasn’t changed just because I’m on anti-depressants.

[hollowedskin]

a lot of my family didnt want me to start medications because they thought it would impact my ability to create, and I believed them. Now im getting better and better with my art because i dont have to fight through the brainfog or the constant panic attacks and can dedicate my energy to my work. Antidepressents didnt take my emotions away, they made them easier to handle.

[dubiousculturalartifact]

also Van Gogh was literally in an asylum receiving mental health treatment when he painted ‘Starry Night’. It was one of the most stable & productive periods of his life, despite the fact that wasn’t hugely effective treatment, because they didn’t really have modern understandings of what things work on mental illness. Like, you know. Medication.

[hirakumblr]

This is why we don’t romanticize mental illness or chronic disease.

[atomatowriter-deactivated202211]

ALSO because I am reading a book of his letters right now, Van Gogh himself addressed the idea that the best art came from pain and said that his art tended to suffer when his depression was hitting pretty hard. So don’t even pull that shit where you give his untreated depression credit for his art. Van Gogh would have hated that, and if antidepressants/better treatment of mental illness HAD existed then we might have even more of his work now.

Lane Bryant has enlisted actresses Danielle Brooks and Gabourey Sidibe in the brand’s powerfully simple new ad, aptly called #ThisBody Is Made To Shine.

Actresses were there to inspire women of bigger sizes not be ashamed of their bodies. The point of the campaign, according to a release from the brand, is to “spotlight what it means to unapologetically celebrate themselves in spite of any adverse feelings or feedback.”

These beautiful Black ladies show us how to stay confident with our bodies no matter how we look. Women are always targets of standard beauty propaganda and whitewashing and have troubles loving their natural appearance. This picture is saying LOVE yourself no matter what flaws you have.

Am I too fat for this dress?

The question above is something that I asked myself maybe two years ago. I used to ask that kind of questions myself pretty often. But by now I have learned the simple answer to that question:

NO.

Mine or no one’s body and its shape is not a reason to not wear a certain dress or shirt or whatever. We are all allowed to wear whatever we want and wherever we want. Today I’m gonna go out to see some friends and I’m gonna wear a dress. Because that dress is beautiful and so is my body.

Love, Positivity warrior.

[positivitywarri0r]

Yes. Listening and just being there for the person in trouble is far more important than saying something incredibly wonderful.

[rottenbutrecovering]

This is your merry reminder that it is 100% okay to be mentally ill on Christmas. Your symptoms don’t disappear just cause it’s Christmas- and anyone who says anything like “it’s Christmas cheer up!” Or “it’s Christmas, stop being moody!” is uneducated and rude.

Eating disorders do not have a weight limit. They are all dangerous and they can kill at any weight. End the stigma.

[fuckyeahbodypositivity]

you don’t have to be in crisis to deserve help you don’t have to be bleeding or starving or dying you don’t have to reach some mythical level of “sick enough” or “sad enough” you don’t have to keep struggling alone you deserve help and love and care right now, no matter what, even if you feel like you don’t
