I'm not a Christian, but this is hilarious to me because my conservative Christian mother spent most of Obama's first term calling him the antichrist based on nothing but him being a charismatic black democrat

[kitchenwitchupinthisbitch]

I said this before he got elected. But after seeing him in office, it seems too easy to point and say this cartoonish villain of a man is the anti christ.

Idk y'all. It is eerie though.

No matter how many times you fail to meet your own expectations, you have to forgive yourself. Despite contrary belief, dwelling on and badgering yourself over your faults doesn’t ever help you grow into who you want to be.

It’s like gardening: if your flower isn’t blossoming like you want it to, you don’t rip out its leaves as punishment for failing to satisfy you. You recognize the problem and figure out what’s going wrong with its environment so you can modify it, giving the flower a chance to bloom in its own time.

Accept your shortcoming or setback, forgive yourself, and figure out what’s going wrong so that you can plan for how to prevent it from repeating in the future. Thank your past self for trying in the first place and then give your future self the love needed to flourish.

I am almost affronted at how good and forgiving this advice is.

Flawless positivity.

Listen.

I read once, don’t remembet where or know if it’s true, that in order to train an animal and to remain good friends with it, you need a 5/1 ratio of positive vs. negative interactions. So for every interaction that the animal considers negative - pilling a cat, for example - you need FIVE positive interactions, such as treats, cuddles, play, or praise if you want to remain on the best possible terms with it.

This applies to your relationship with yourself.

If you aren’t positively interacting with yourself but are instead consistently berating, punishing, or being disgusted with yourself, you are 100% going to have a lot of emotional pain.

You aren’t perfect. Nobody is and nobody should feel like they have to be. You will make mistakes. And contrary to what a lot of folks, self included, seem to believe, being mean to yourself because you think you “deserve” it won’t actually help you learn or becone a better person.

All it does is teach you not to trust yourself, and teach you that you will always disappoint yourself. You take on a toxic relationship with yourself where you play both parts. It’s terrible.

So yes, you HAVE to learn to forgive yourself. You actually cannot grow effectively in the confines of a toxic relationship. Including one you have with yourself.

I know it isn’t easy, I have a hard time too, but it is so, so necessary.

You can’t hate yourself into being happy.

I don’t remember where I read this but it literally changed my life and how I approach growth and personal development. It can be hard to keep in mind sometimes, but it puts it in a way that’s hard to argue with.

been seeing a lot of those awful weight loss ads on here again specifically for losing stomach fat so just a little reminder for myself and everyone else: having fat on your tummy is GOOD, having a flat stomach is not the ideal we should be pushing ourselves toward, its 100% natural to have a tummy that sticks out, your stomach is literally holding all your important internal organs that let u eat & make energy & grow, having fat there means your insides are nice n protected, tummy fat is natural & good & healthy, its also very cute which is less important but still true. theres nothing wrong with your stomach and you dont need to change it

[cilly-murphy]

Why don’t we leave tomorrow? That is, if you give me another chance to prove myself a worthy travel companion. We could head to the coast. Get away for a while. Sounds like something Borch would say, doesn’t it? Life is too short. Do what pleases you... while you can.

I dont care about anyone not liking me you bitches barely like yourselves

let’s have a recovery blog moment and remind ourselves that restricting our food intake will not improve our health, will not protect us from viruses, will not protect us from fear, will not help the world by placing less demand on it. we don’t need to be smaller because things are hard. we want to be well-fed, full of energy and connection and courage. we want to take up space and be present and demand our human rights. health may be elusive but let’s give our bodies the very best chances they can have; let’s fuel them and trust them. it’s what they deserve.
