I went looking for some motivational words today; been having a tougher time of things lately. I thought I'd share some that resonated. (Not sure if all the attributions are accurate, but the meaning is the important part). In my experience, mental illness doesn't just disappear because you're treating it and working towards wellness. It's always there. The work you do means that some days you win and some days it does. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSHPr1WLVdhMhQm7SWfLaN3sbX73ART6aL270Q0/?utm_medium=tumblr
Sometimes a visual helps frame the context.
What do you do on a gorgeous, sunny lockdown day? You go snowshoeing on the lake with the pooches, obv. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhjXxBBa9Ki83rtgY3y9EfZZOPMXZWteikfdQ0/?igshid=g5t4285km5qy
Been getting a higher frequency of migraines lately. More anxiety + more insomnia = more migraines, and they're both triggers for me. Becomes a bit of a vicious cycle. Tried to make it through a work day but had to bail at halftime today. I came home to do a gentle yoga and meditation practice and got some help from one of my furry friends. She pretty much refused to get off of me. I think she believes that if she sits on me I'll feel better. I think she's right. #migrainelife #migrainesupport #therapycat https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RuGLLhOKb/?igshid=6ya9rnm7brja

A friend let me know that today is world kindness day. I didn't know about this, but I do know that we could all use more kindness in our lives, to ourselves and to people we interact with, so I wanted to pay it forward. It takes so little to choose kindness. https://inspirekindness.com/world-kindness-day #bekindtoothers #bekindtoyourself #worldkindnessday https://www.instagram.com/p/CWOsw0VLiWj/?utm_medium=tumblr
Just a few reminders that:
- This is not โthe most wonderful time of the yearโ for everyone
- Whatever you have achieved this year, this month, today: It is enough
- YOU are enough
It isn't the holidays at our house until this movie is on, so I thought while we watch it, I'd put together this meme. Maybe it will encourage others to enjoy this Christmas miracle? ๐คฃ๐๐ข https://www.instagram.com/raistlinsghost/p/CX2JPpVrNh5/?utm_medium=tumblr
100% me. No issues washing and drying the laundry. But folding it? Right up there with going to the dentist. Just one of the things @geminijaime gets to put with. But look at how the colour adds to the decor! ๐ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0JMRXgh2vX/?igshid=htv5xh8h88uh
