ID: A two-panel comic featuring two dinosaurs. One is tall and green, while the other one, labelled “you”, is small and blue with a small bandage on their back, and is tearing up slightly.

The green dinosaur says, “I know it’s been tough for you,” and lays their head reassuringly on the blue dinosaur. They continue, “I think you’re doing great despite it all. Get some rest. It’s all going to be okay.” /ED

Only Yesterday is a film for all of us struggling with finding direction in your life.

Only Yesterday is a Studio Ghibli film that deals with adulthood vs childhood, careers, and lifestyle.

I rarely see this movie get talked about, which is such a shame because it deals with such powerful themes of reflecting on your childhood as an adult and considering what you want your life to be like. Are you happy? Would your younger self be happy with where you are now, and does it matter to you?

This movie is heartwarming, it calls out to you when you're lost, in a slump, or just struggling through things.

hey. hey you!

i hope you find that thing that gives you the spark and motivation to go about doing things again. continue actively trying– you're already doing fantastic and taking initiative is the most important part of your own journey.

Sometimes "getting better" means it hurts less to get up in the morning. Means it is a bit easier to step into the shower. Means small things make you smile again. This is okay. "Getting better" doesn't have to be giant steps. I'm so proud of you, no matter what.

watch out for yourself.

in the same way you might watch what you say out of fear that you might hurt someone, don't forget that other people don't deserve your time of day if they have nothing helpful to say. unsolicited criticism? focus on yourself, love.

Distraction works wonders when you're struggling to get started on exercising.

putting something on in the background, listening to something, watching videos you love, talking to someone, etc...anything that can distract you from focusing on how difficult exercising is so helpful. there are always ways to make this process easier :)

over winter break, i kind of stopped maintaining a healthy lifestyle and let myself go. this lasted for about two weeks before i got sick of it and forced myself to get back into exercise because it felt terrible not doing anything for my body.

i guess moral of the story is once again that consistency is key. once it gets easier, it'll be easier to maintain. but if you stop it and break your streak, getting back into it is going to feel so so so much worse.

you guys can do it!! <3

How I motivate myself to take walks outside:

[smnshealth]

Frequent + Small, or Infrequent + Large meals?

As a part of figuring out what works best for you, reconsider your meals. We were likely told that we should have three meals a day, once in the morning, noon, then evening. What if I tell you that isn't necessarily true?

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not encouraging you to eat more or less, just to reconsider the time in between meals. I personally grew up with two large meals a day, and I always hated it because I would end up processing it way too quickly and snacking within the next two hours.

It took me a while to finally realise that I should eat smaller meals, but more frequently. Who likes feeling like they're bloated with food, anyway?

Who knows, maybe it might work better for you! :)

Food is beautiful.

Period pains and nutrition

In 2021, after 5 years of having my period, I experienced the worst period pains I had ever felt. I know some of you who have uteruses have those too. Well..

1. If you're super concerned, go see a doctor!!

Period pains can be a result of serious conditions that can be very harmful. If you're truly worried, please get a diagnosis.

2. Take care of your nutrition and your habits throughout your cycle.

When I experienced pains at the level of fainting, losing appetite, and being bedridden, I started taking better care of my nutrition because I just wanted the pains gone. GONE! There are some things you can change and start doing to take some of these pains away. I'll admit I didn't feel too much of a change, but it may just be my body and the fact that I wasn't too strict with maintaining better nutrition. It did gradually get better though, even though it was still difficult.

3. Don't feel bad for taking time off just to cope with the pain.

You shouldn't be expected to just endure the pain. If you can, take breaks and allow yourself time to deal with the physical pain instead of putting yourself through other things at the same time.

Don't do anything you're not comfortable with, but always put your health first. Things will get better.

I'm proud of you

[angeloncewas]

If you had a horrible year. If you had a good year. If you're moving away for college. If you're staying in your hometown. If you have too many bad memories. If you can't remember anything. If you're just barely getting by. If you're in the best place you've ever been in. I'm proud of you for all the victories you've managed to claim along the way, and for the ones that lie just ahead of you too. Keep going, you're doing great.

have a flower. <3

how do you cope with the hardships of fitness?

for me, i enjoy poking fun at the movements i do as part of my different exercise sets. it makes working out a lot more fun and in a way, makes me feel like i'm not alone. it is a bit weird, i'll admit. but it does work for me!

[smnshealth]

guilt.

tw // eating habits

if you, like me, have been ingrained with the belief that 'eating a lot is bad' or 'you'll gain weight if you eat that', then i'm sorry. i'm sorry you have to feel those negative emotions from doing things that you enjoy, that you want to do. you don't deserve that.

feeling guilty after eating just makes me feel guilty-ER and it just creates this terrible cycle. how can we break free of it?

one things for sure: its not easy. it took me a week to get away from this mindset after it was recently triggered. its a vicious cycle thats hard to get yourself away from if you don't have anyone to snap you away. reach out for help. talk to your support systems about this. these are just some ways you can get rid of the feeling of guilt eating you up inside. i hope it gets better for you, too.
