#taking care of myself

[eggsdoodz]

i’ve not been doing too good so this post is a reminder for myself as well as u to take better care of ourselves </3

Something small happened, but somehow its happening made you break down again. Now you're thinking to yourself, "how could I have let this happen? I thought I was getting better, I thought I had it under control, I thought I was taking care of myself properly again. All my efforts have gone to waste again. My progress is destroyed."

But its not! Its not destroyed! Your efforts haven't gone to waste! Yes, you're still getting better, yes, you can still have it under control and yes, you are taking care of yourself even as you break down! Because self care is also just realizing that crops can't grow without rain. Its realizing that even though storms might scare you sometimes, they are still necessary for the world to go around. And most importantly, when they end, the leave the world a little more cleaner.

Its completely alright to breakdown my darling. I know it takes so much out of you, and it drains you most of the times. But you can choose how to refill yourself. You still have that control.

Friendly reminder if you are suffering from RSD and are just very insecure about what is ok in a relationship and/or friendship:

if your s/o or crush had a rough week at work and you have been fussing over them but they say they don't need anything right now, trust them. And if you're like me and now you feel like you're suffocating them, like you're the clingiest person ever and you generally messed it all up and they hate you now, breathe. Just breathe for a moment.

If that was the case, they'd probably tell you. Unless they told you you f*cked up, things are probably ok. And even if they aren't ok, you can't travel back in time (unless you have a TARDIS, in that case I'd like to re-visit some moments for... science) it already happened and you can only learn from it. I know, for this occasion it's too late and the rejection and the shame hurt like hell. Breathe.

You are still learning to love each other right (and I mean love in all kinds and flavours, like platonically or romantically or any and all of what this can be). There's no shame in that. You showed how much you care about them, that's nothing to be ashamed of. You maybe even made yourself vulnerable by asking them if you're being too much. That is intimacy. I hope they can respond in an equally honest and caring way. If they can't handle it, that's ok, it doesn't mean you did something wrong.

I guess what I needed to hear tonight, and I think some of you too, is: don't beat yourself up for caring a lot. And especially don't beat yourself up for being brave enough to show it. This was not a mistake. This was a tiny piece of a bigger puzzle that may eventually become an honest and trusting relationship. Now go get yourself a glass of water or a cup of tea, breathe a little more and cuddle your favourite plushie, pet or person.

how to get out of a slump🫧 ❃୭ৎ ࣪ ׅ ⊹

getting in slumps is completely okay and natural <3 giving your body the rest that it deserves is a good thing. sometimes when we neglect our bodies, we get into slumps. where we feel extremely lethargic or sluggish.

some reasons why you might feel particularly lazy is lack of movement, lack of sleep, stress, or depression.

usually when we are in this slump, we don’t feel like doing anything but don’t do that! give yourself time to stay in one place but don’t move backwards. make a list of “the bare minimum” list down small and easy things that you can do that don’t require much effort. doing the bare minimum is always better than nothing. for example if one of your goals is to maintain beautiful skin or a clean space but your in a slump, you can shorten your skincare routine or clean for 5 minutes every hour.

do everything on the bare minimum list and then give yourself the rest that you deserve. consuming media that influences u positively can also be a good way to get out of a slump. giving ur body adequate rest by taking naps when you feel like ur tired and getting 8-9 hours of sleep a night is an easy way to change ur mood. the most effective way i found to get out of a slump was by MOVING. doing some pilates or even just going for a walk while listening to music gets ur blood pumping and it’s an instant mood switch.

most importantly, when ur in this state you need to be gentle with urself. make sure to shower yourself with the rest, attention, and love that you deserve. <3

Sometimes you need to let go of those familiar people that you used to love so much but who only cause you pain and suffering now. They are not the same people anymore and they chose that. If the person you love was still in there, they would have seen how terribly their deliberate words and actions hurt you and would have tried to change things but they didn't. They didn't and they won't. And although it hurts to accept that the beautiful portrait in your head doesn't match that person anymore and hasn't in a long time, you need to do that for yourself.

Because you don't have to take that. You deserve more than they are willing to give you. You deserve love and comfort, not just familiarity and some begrudging toleration.

" Once upon time u were a little girl with big dreams that u promised you'd make real one day. Don't disappointed yourself. "

When u start taking care of yourself, you start looking better, attract better. It all start with you.

It’s not selfish to take care of yourself, it’s a must. When you’re happy with yourself you can offer chunks of your happiness to everyone around you.

It’s a shame no one is praising me, I’ve been awfully good lately 😞

So I need validation.

I’ve spent most of my life hovering around 120 lbs and was always a fairly skinny kid. Now, I used to be proud of this, but as I’ve gotten older, it started to become a sign of “I’m not eating enough” or “Im not taking care of Cass” as I really should be. Now, health charts say 130 is the ballpark for healthy weight. I just hit 165 and I’m ecstatic :)
