This will pass

Whatever you're going through—no matter how overwhelming—it won’t last forever. But for it to pass, you have to loosen your grip. That starts with acceptance: not approval, not giving up, just recognizing what is. One simple way to begin is to name what you’re feeling out loud or write it down without judgment. This creates distance between you and the storm. When you stop fighting reality, you free up energy to move forward. You may not control what happened, but you do control what comes next. That’s your power.

What emotion can you name right now without judging it? Type one word below and give it space to move.

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~

Unloaded the dishwasher - would like to take a walk - too early- wait a bit - feels like I am on a roll… having a cup of my wind coffee/ my husband makes- my husband makes marvelous coffee- no place I have been beats it.

My sister who has stage 4 cancer says she drinks gratitude coffee every morning- i think I will try a spoon full of gratitude w my cup of coffee this morning- if at all possible

One grateful thing- is being grateful for this space-
Would like to bake some blueberry muffins before my husband gets up. Be very nice!!

Well, on to my first sip- would really like to take.a walk after

How to Train Yourself to Overcome Depression

This might be hard to hear…

But no one is coming to save you.

Not because people don’t care, but because your healing starts with you.

Mental strength isn’t just something you’re born with.

It’s something you train for.

🧠 Discipline.

🔥 Resilience.

💪 Daily action.

You’ve admired that strength in others—now it’s time to build it in yourself.

It won’t be easy.

It won’t feel fair.

But it will be worth it.

💭 Ask yourself: If this were a movie, what would the main character do right now?

Now go do that.

Because YOU are the hero of this story.

👇 Drop a 💥 in the comments if you’re ready to stop waiting and start training.

📌 Save this post for the days when the excuses feel louder than your strength.

Today's mental health exercise

Here’s a little experiment to help you quiet the mind: Close your eyes and become very still. Now silently ask yourself, “What will my next thought be?” and just wait. Watch your mind closely, without chasing anything. The goal isn’t to stop your thoughts, but to observe them from a distance. You might notice that, in the waiting, there’s a pause… a moment of stillness. That space is where peace lives.

This is a gentle way to step out of the constant stream of thinking and into the present. Even 30 seconds of this can shift your energy.

Did you try it? What did you feel in that space? Drop a word below to describe your experience.

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~
