P.S. This is a brush your teeth reminder blog. If this would be helpful for you, pls give it a follow. I implore everyone to take their oral health seriously. You will save yourself so much pain and money in the future. 🫶
i used to struggle immensely with this, and what helped me the most was thinking: i want clean teeth. i want clean teeth right now this instant.
just, stoking a momentary fervor in my soul for clean teeth.
before this, i knew i was on a path to my teeth falling out of my head in late middle age. that thought did not motivate me. i wallowed in shame for neglecting my future self and did nothing about it. HOWEVER. muttering to myself about clean teeth. i WANT them. i want them now now now!!!! has really worked for me.
This is so important: do things because you WANT it, not because you feel like other people expect you to, or it's what you're supposed to do, or because you'd feel shame if you didn't do it.
The only way to encourage yourself is with a desire to improve, not by escaping negatives. You can escape in any direction, your desire points you straight where you want to go.
This is true, but it's also okay to borrow motivation if you're not yet at a place to make your own. I'm not gonna lie, more than once I've convinced myself to brush my teeth when i really really didn't want to by thinking "if i do, @brosser-les-dents will be proud of me!"
And I am 100% pleased and proud. 😁
I am like, immune to physical reminders (I have failed to gain habits, even very important ones like doing physical therapy, through phone alarms or post it notes or anything like that), which made me feel like I would never be able to remember to brush my teeth for a long time.
However, it turns out other people learned how to notice when their teeth felt bad long enough ago that they don't remember that it's an essential part of learning to want to brush your teeth.
My success at starting to brush daily was 100% linked to making myself feel my teeth with my tongue before and after brushing and actively making myself connect neurons to the after brushing tooth feel being good. And now if I start going to sleep without brushing, I notice my teeth feel bad automatically and it bothers me enough that I have to get up and brush, 99% of the time (sometimes this subconscious instinct does not kick in if I am on vacation or quite drunk. That's alright, 99% of the time is so so so much better than 10% of the time).
So... yeah! If reminders that you're supposed to brush your teeth are not motivating, perhaps learning to desire the sensation of clean teeth will be more helpful for you. It was infinitely more helpful for me
i don't know what older adults were on about when they said being a teenager was good <3

He is absolutely copying you, and cuddling, and doing the slow close of eyes that is a cat kiss! #this is one very happy cat #i hope the two of you have many years of harmony and happiness
Perfect harmony
I’ve been cackling about this for like five minutes now
sometimes people experiencing psychosis and/or mania will come up to you on the street and talk in confusing or upsetting ways. your job is to either have a regular human-to-human conversation with that person or politely leave. your job is not to call 911. do not call 911. you might kill that person if you call 911.
I don't even have the energy to screenshot and respond to your tags- what the actual fuck is wrong with you? "the cops are scared and rightfully so" "mental health calls are the scariest for cops" OH so this isn't about the safety of psychotic & manic people this is about piggy feelings?
and no, actually, this is not USA specific and no, actually, people from other countries should not ignore this post. police violence and sanism weren't invented in the US and they are certainly not unique to here. if you (or anyone) thinks that this bullshit doesn't happen elsewhere then you are not listening.
cops r Some Guy with a Gun
do we want Some Guy with a Gun in this situation? answer is usually "NO"
This is legitimately useful reframing. A while ago I started replacing the word "cop" in my vocabulary with "a man with a gun." It really puts things into perspective.
This homeless person is making me uncomfortable. Should I call [a man with a gun]?
My neighbor is having a loud party. Should I get [a man with a gun] involved?
There are some teenagers skateboarding. Do you think [a man with a gun] would get rid of them for me?
It makes it very clear what you're saying. I can call a man with a gun to threaten or hurt someone mildly inconveniencing me. You're not calling the cops, you're calling A MAN WITH A GUN into a situation that does not warrant a firearm handled by a volatile lunatic who will not be held accountable for his actions.
