Reblog a selfie to remind yourself and the world how gorgeous you are

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real thing that’s effects us but I think women on this site should take more pride on their outer and inner beauty and what better way to do it than to rock your best selfie 🤳❤️

The Practice of Appreciation Helps You to Realize The Life You Want

The Practice of Appreciation Helps You to Realize The Life You Want

Appreciate myself. That’s what I do. I’m doing more of it lately than usual. Good for me. It’s healthy and feeds my soul. It can do the same for you. Once you get beyond your possible aversion to appreciating yourself. Loving ourselves is something we know we should do more of, but getting beyond the stigma of being thought egotistical – or egomaniacal, at worst – gets in the way of fully…

Thoughts from nine worlds 4 (last one, I promise)

On feeling smart and other personal shit Something got from this weekend that I didn't think I would was a kind of intellectual stimulation I haven't felt in a long time. If I'm honest,my current job doesn't stretch me. Emotionally, yes,but not intellectually. I think I was starting to believe that I'm not smart. Now, I'm not trying to say that I'm Tony Stark or that I'm the specialest of the special snowflakes buy I've got shit going on under here and for the first time in a long time I felt like I was really using some of that and stretching myself intellectually to put new ideas together and reach new understandings and that was awesome. Another thing which is something I've been thinking about for a long time is engaging with life. I spend a lot of time waiting for life to come to me. I wait for other people to start the conversation or the club or the movement, I just follow. I think maybe I come across to pole as distant? I find it very hard to shake the idea that nobody really wants me around and I have little to contribute to a social group (hello social anxiety my old friend). I haven't always been like this. I had a very successful few years where I really pushed myself and met new people and was doing well and then came the depression and everything changed when the depression attacked. I think I need to start being active in my life again. I'm already doing that to an extent. Going to Berlin was part of that. Writing original things (yeah, I'm doing that now) is part of that but I think I need to expand that to trying to initiate friendships more and making myself believe that I do have thing to offer new people!e and there are reason I am a good person to have I your life. It's going to mean putting !myself out there more but I'm realising more and more that I can't grow as a person in isolation. I have to open myself up to others if I want to become a better person and if it comes down to it there's no reason I can't ry and start local geek meetups or something. If I fail at least I'll have tried. People who start things and run things and organise things and live the life I want aren't magically better than me. They just try more.
