The voice in your head

Healing does not mean the inner voice disappears, it means it loses its power over you. When you stop believing every thought automatically, space opens up for calm, self compassion, and even humor. That moment when you notice the voice and no longer feel controlled by it is a quiet sign of real progress. Have you noticed any changes in how you relate to your thoughts lately?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts.

If stress is draining your energy, try this today

Most people think stress is only mental, but prolonged stress affects your memory, your immune system, your focus, and your energy levels. Over time, it can leave you feeling foggy, tense, and exhausted without knowing why. Simple tools like slow breathing, relaxing physical tension in your body, and writing out what is weighing on your mind can interrupt this cycle and give your nervous system a chance to reset. These practices are not about fixing everything at once, they are about releasing pressure instead of carrying it all internally. Which of these tools do you feel like you could try the next time stress starts to build?

Remember

Making healthy changes isn’t about pretending the past version of you didn’t exist. It’s about acknowledging who you were, honoring what you survived, and meeting yourself exactly where you are right now.

Real change doesn’t start with shame or pressure. It starts with honesty. With noticing what worked, what didn’t, and why you coped the way you did at the time. Those choices made sense then—even if they don’t serve you now.

Growth is less about forcing yourself into a “better” version and more about building a bridge from where you are to where you want to be. One small shift. One kinder thought. One realistic step at a time.

You don’t have to rush, erase your past, or have it all figured out. Progress happens when self-compassion leads the way. Be patient with yourself—you’re learning, not failing. #MentalHealth #ADHD #ADHDInGirls #Anxiety #SubstanceRelatedDisorders #BipolarDisorder #Neurodiversity #Addiction

So much of our suffering comes from leaving the present moment.

Anxiety pulls you into the future and sadness pulls you into the past, but peace lives only in the present moment. When you stop obsessing over what might happen and stop replaying what already did, your mind finally gets a chance to rest. Staying present does not mean everything feels good, it means you are no longer fighting reality. The more often you return to now, the more your nervous system learns that it is safe to settle. What helps you come back to the present when your mind starts to spiral?
