I'm so having an anxiety attacc rn :)) I decided to try and put on makeup on myself but I'm not sure if it looks good (grandma said it looked good but...) and now I'm dying internallyneldmdldm hELP -Dawn⚘
please look at this and breath with it. Take a few minutes. JUST to do this.
Once you feel it subsiding a little. Try listening to these cats purring and breath with it some more (you can adjust the frequency so make sure you make it even/stable)
Take a minute to think that:
You are doing your best. You did your best in the situation even if you can’t be proud of that now, try to recognize when you’re berating yourself and stop doing it (like hit a pause button).
You can’t control everything. And it’s ok to feel grounded and stable in the fact that things are some what out of our control. It’s not your responsibility to make/take it out on yourself.
We’re trying to be better one step at a time , so it’s ok not to be “perfect” for however long it takes you to get there. What matters is the effort– take a page out of ‘slow and steady wins the race’
One thing doesn’t determine everything. Try to get back, struggle if you have to– into a less analysis/self-examination and listen to those who tell you positive things about yourself.
If it triggers your anxiety, learn to be cautious around it. Get to know that it does, but it doesn’t have to stop you from trying. Just take pre-cautions cause you know you’ll need extra help. it’s ok.
I hope these are somewhat helpful. As for the make up thing, not every style is our taste and I hope you know it’s an experimental project? A part of make up is trying to find what ‘feels’ right, so it’s ok to fail because that’s literally part of the process. We all have to figure out what’s good for our skin, what does and doesn’t work. That’s why we have beauty channels, because our skin type and face types are all different. There are many factors and that does not mean it’s coming from you.
I hope this helps you out a bit? 💕 I feel like I’m not good with taking selfies, but I’m constantly trying and learning how to do it. Even if I don’t like taking photos– I look back and enjoy noticing the evolution of my face/hair-style because I forgot about it sometimes 💕
