HOW TO BEGIN HEALING

ACKNOWLEDGE THE PAIN AND DAMAGE. Others will try frequently to avoid these feelings and the thought that they’re hurt or hurting. However, it is a massive roadblock to starting your journey. 

You have to truly confront yourself. Journal, vent to someone, draw or however you feel is best to truly express how you feel, you do. 

EXTRACT TRIGGERS. Don’t let your physical environment encourage triggers that resurface your hurt self or continue to hurt you. E.g. friends, social media, family, bad habits etc. 

DAILY REFLECTION. You have to start to confront your feelings and experiences, but I know, it’s scary and we don’t want to revisit bad times. Please try to do some self-reflection daily about personal feelings and experiences, as it gets easier when it’s so frequent. 

ESTABLISH ORDER & ROUTINES. Start putting in good habits in your life and slowly improve your mental and physical well-being. Healing is going to be all over the place and messy. So when we have a routine to fall back on when needed, it just makes us feel better. 

ACTUAL SELF-CARE. Everything showers and face masks are nice and all, but they are not the only aspects of self-care. Self-care is doing the things that are good for you, disregarding how you currently feel. E.g. cooking and eating a healthy breakfast instead of eating takeout. 

BE PATIENT AND PERSISTENT. Healing is going to be hard regardless of what hurt you. There will be days when you feel like giving up. However, I encourage you to fight those feelings of hopelessness and continue. 

REMOVE SHAME FROM YOUR MIND. Another roadblock, it limits you from all the help and lessons you get in life. It isolates you, from everybody else who does care about you and wants to help. Asking for anything is not embarrassing. 

RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF. Start doing hobbies that you love, learning about things you’ve been curious about, and reading books on your favourite topics. Reconnection is so important because it brings emotional and mental prosperity.

heyy i was gonna ask- how do you go to bed earlier? i’m trying to improve my sleep schedule 🩷

how to go to bed earlier ☁️🧸🌙

first choose a time you would like to be in bed by every night.

if you go to bed late because of doing a lot during the day then i think having a planner could help, write down all the things you have to get done and plan them out so that it won’t go past the time you want to get in bed.

if the day just gets away from you and you don’t realize how late you get to bed every night i would set an alarm. set multiple alarms.

example: if you want to be in bed by 9pm

set your first alarm around 8pm titled : finish things up, bed in an hour

then set one at 8:30pm titled : 30 mins before bed

then at 9pm titled : bedtime

an additional nightly alarm : idk if you have an iphone but if you do you can go to settings ⇢ focus ⇢ sleep ⇢ schedule and set a bedtime and an alert will pop up each night to tell you it’s time to go to bed.

i hope this helps, sending love, please accept ♡

favvv 😍‼️
