The Art of protecting yourself

One of the most challenging parts of being an activist or anyone who is basically speaking up for themselves is the sense of security.

When we talk about security, we don’t really always talk about security in a sense of physical protection per-say, but also protecting our mind, emotions and taking time to watch over our own mental health.

I can only speak for myself for the most part, so I will start with this:

Being an activist is a full-time work, not just in a sense of hours of editing and creating posts (even though this is true), it’s also the mental and emotional investment in your set of believes with the fact you know this is a long-life journey with some intense learning curves. Growing up into this beautiful idea called Zionism, being part of the Jewish people and the Jews on Yemen in particular gave me this sense of understanding who I am and who I will always be regardless of where I go.

Moving to the Diaspora and taking the job of being a representative of my community has been a beautiful road so far but yet to be easy, and probably will never be. I realize I have to make sure I take care of myself, continue this hard work and learn to not let the haters the power of weakening me or my people.

What can you do to protect yourself from Antisemitism? 1. Be aware - be aware who is someone who is judging you, who question the way you feel about it and who around you have a very little knowledge on you but with a lot of opinions about how you should take actions. all of these can be a sign of unhealthy communications and you should have conversations with these people. With that being said, it doesn’t mean that you have to cut people out of you lives because they don’t know (a lot of them would want to know!!) and definitely don’t be afraid. 2. Take care of your mental health - I posted advises of how to take care of your mental health on my Instagram (@theisraelijoy) but let me mention them here as well: take a break from social media and disconnect from this overwhelming information; Write down what do you love/proud of for being Jewish; learn something new about your Judaism so you can share it, maybe even a fun fact. 3. Life-Long Journey - embrace the fact that this is a life-long journey not just for you but for many jews out there. You can reach out to other communities and individuals and don’t let go, teach the next generation what matters and how we can grow as people. There are things you will not be able to change, and this is okay, focus on what you can! All the love, Hadar

Guess I’m doing it right. Small victories. I count my own loss & victories. It’s called staying balanced. Thanks for all the support but I ain’t done. I’m on all streaming services. We all can win. #weAllCanWin https://www.instagram.com/p/Clrd-Y4O3J8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you can hold on to that same faith when things are good. You can have that same faith when they are not. You need Grace & Mercy. #tedyism #motivation #inspiration #share (at Fort Baker Pier Sausalito) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqPdUbujMZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My gracious people. During this series we have evolved the conversation from just Hurt vs Heal and covered several different things. Like: how to be a devils advocate, BDSM and it’s forms of pleasure threw pain and why do we need both? Know we discuss how we have grown from our own hurt and started to heal. The conversation gets deep in this episode. So join in.
