in this post i'll be talking about how i deal and manage my stress in ways that work for me, and how i soothe myself…💬🎀
AFFIRM ;
if ur an anxious manifestor, affirming will be ur best friend. affirm what u know to be true until it soothes you. if ur not into the law of assumption then thats fine too, affirming can still help you. affirming to urself that everything is going to be okay really helps.
some things that i like to affirm when im going through a lot of stress are ->
♡ ik that i am in control
♡ everything is going to work out fine
♡ i am at ease because everything is working out for me
♡ everything is coming together so beautifully for me
♡ i am totally in control, this is MY reality
REGULATING NERVOUS SYSTEM ;
so we have this thing in our bodies called the vagus nerve. it regulates ur heart rate, digestion, speaking and stimulating it helps anxiety and stress. to stimulate it you can ->
♡ hum or sing
♡ gargling
the reason behind these two points so far is that because ur using ur vocal chords it stimulates the vagus nerve (see chart above)
♡ exhale for longer than u inhale (DEEP BREATHSS)
TAKE SOME TIME OFF ;
you deserve to take a break from the world sometimes. take a day or two off of school if u can, or take a day or two off of ur work if ur able to and just get it together. do some meditation, take a nice long shower and a soothing nap. some more things to do while taking some time off/time to urself are
♡ meditate
♡ journalling
something that i do when i have a lot of stress is a healing journal "dump page" so i go into my healing journal and dump whatever has been on my mind, like literally everything and just get everything out of my system…💬🎀
♡ take a nice long shower
♡ take a nap
take the shower BEFORE u take the nap. i promise it feels so good to be clean and in fresh clothes and just bury yourself under ur blankets and RESTTT…💬🎀
♡ do some yoga
♡ do some breath control
♡ talk to yourself (it actually rly helps)
RELIEVE ;
relieve the tension and stress that u feel by doing things that are strenuous. like working out or something. just find ways in which to relieve the stress and tension from your days through doing something. that way it can become a habit and it can cue ur body to know when its time to relax.
18.02.2023 // today, I said a gentle goodbye to my old journals and thanked them for providing a space to untangle my thoughts and emotions. I also doodled on the cover of my last journal – copying a sketch from pinterest – while watching uncarley's ranking of all the books she read in 2023.
Isn't it wild when tons of guys are all about your looks and brains, but you're just craving validation from that one special person? Like, sure, it's flattering, but nothing beats hearing those sweet words from the one who truly matters to you. Quality over quantity, always. 🌟💖
Some women are like "Oh no, I'm not a feminist" or just shitting on feminism in general while getting equal opportunity in their education, getting paid equal to their male counterparts, wearing pants outside their home, posting things on social media, giving opinion about the government and so much more which feminists fought for. Babe, u are living ur privileged life because of feminism, stop being delusional.
