My favorite way to treat myself is…

Happy Monday, Mighties! 🌅

We all deserve to treat ourselves to the things we enjoy—whether that looks like binging a 10-season show, snacking on our favorite ice cream, buying that item we’ve always wanted, taking a day just for ourselves, or spending an afternoon at the spa. Whatever it is, and in whatever capacity we can manage, it’s OK to show ourselves love by making space for experiences that bring us joy.

What’s your favorite way to treat yourself? 💛

What does creativity mean to you?

It’s a new year, and one of the words I want to guide me this year is creativity mostly because of how important it is to me. I want to talk more about it, explore it together, and learn how others experience creativity in their own lives.

For me, creativity is who I am. It’s how I get to know myself—my consciousness, my imagination, the way I connect to my intuition, and how I understand and navigate the world in my body. I see creativity everywhere.

What are your thoughts? What does creativity mean to you?

TRUE or FALSE: It’s easier for me to forgive others than it is to forgive myself.

We’ll be talking about forgiveness this week — a process we all experience differently, at varied paces, and for a range of distinct reasons. Some of our experiences are heavily influenced by the complexities of our daily circumstances, lived trauma/abuse, or health conditions. But when it comes down to it: how we manage the process of forgiveness, for ourselves and toward others, is an inherently personal journey.

For you, is it easier to forgive someone else than it is yourself? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below. ⬇️

I was watching a movie.. It’s based on mental health and overcoming depression.. A specific scene caught my attention which I could just relate so much.. It was the scene where the therapist was saying that for feeling safe, you have to let go of all the fears... Fear of losing, being alone, fear of what will happen, how everything will turn out, what will I do... Well, I am talking about all the fears I have been living with.. They are haunting me like forever.. And, then he goes, you are living with this and they are affecting you in the worst possible way.. And, in order to escape, you tend to say goodbye to things before they can say goodbye to you.. More likely, you are scared to go through the same pains.. Believe me, these last two lines were just so relatable for me... That's what I have been doing.. My therapist had also pointed out this.. You have escape tendency.. Yeah, I do.. The most terrible part is the fear of facing the same pain... I have that.. That's how I grew the fear that it’s repeating... It’s just I don’t wanna feel that again.. It still haunts me... At the end he says, you should just let go.. Just say hi to your life and live it.. And,I could feel it.. It was a great movie... Planning to watch it again.. Never knew that a movie could help me find my depression patterns.. But, it did.. I feel pretty good and hopeful.. Life is indeed beautiful and definitely worthy of living.. My uncle had once told me, you know what life is like that... But, you can't just miss the chance of living this beautiful life... And, he was right... #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe #hopeful

Any tips/advice for weight loss and clear skin?

I am on medications for my mental health and it makes me feel hungry plus I have really bad acne scars on my face because my dad took me to a dietitian a few years ago and the pill they gave me caused me to have marks all over my face. The pill was called Adipex. I did lose the weight but a few years later I ended up gaining back all the weight and even more weight than I was before

So, I try to stay as positive as possible with my posts here, but I think it's safe enough to open up a bit. I've struggled a lot these past few years, and it's all come to a boiling point recently.

My anxiety has affected my stomach to the point where I'm nauseous every day at random, and now getting random headaches. This morning I woke up to an excruciating migraine that brought me to tears.

There are a lot of things going on in my life that I'm uncomfortable talking about openly here, but I feel like this all stems from anxiety and my inability to process certain unresolved traumas. I'm considering medication at this point. I've been on Zoloft and Wellbutrin, but ended up with brain zaps and as an side-effect.

Are you taking meds? Are you not? Whats working for you, if anything at all? Can anyone relate to this? I'm feeling pretty isolated and alone in this because I hate to feel like a burden to others...
