How to hold on to happy emotions

Emotions are not meant to be controlled or contained. They are meant to flow. The more you try to hold on to happiness, the more it slips away. The more you resist sadness, the stronger it becomes. Peace begins when you stop fighting the natural rhythm of your emotions. Let yourself feel everything — joy, sadness, calm, fear — and then let it move through you. That is how healing happens.

What emotion have you been holding on to lately? 👇

Do you ever feel like you’re constantly busy but not actually doing what matters to you?

You don’t have to fill every moment of your life with plans, people, and responsibilities that drain you.
You don’t need to say yes to everything.

During lockdown, many people realized how much peace came from stillness.
Now that the world is loud again, it’s easy to lose that clarity.

Protect your energy.
Cancel plans that do not serve you.
Say no to things that take you further from yourself.
You are allowed to live life on your terms.

What’s one thing you can start saying no to today? 👇

You are already beautiful when you are real.

We spend so much energy trying to look or be a certain way.
To be beautiful, impressive, admired, or accepted.

But the truth is, when you are real, you are already enough.

Realness has its own kind of beauty — the kind that doesn’t fade when you’re tired or sad or unsure.

It’s the way you show up even when you feel messy.
It’s the way you care when it would be easier not to.
It’s the courage to be honest instead of perfect.

You don’t need to chase beauty.
You just need to come home to yourself.

Because authenticity is what the world truly recognizes as beautiful.

What part of yourself do you want to stop hiding and start embracing? 👇

Are you waiting for no more problems to solve?

Most people are waiting for life to finally settle down before they allow themselves to be happy. But that moment never comes. There will always be another challenge, another deadline, another reason to delay your peace. True strength comes from learning to stay calm while life is still messy. You don’t need to wait for everything to be perfect before you feel good again.

Start today.
Start where you are.
You can still choose peace right now.

What’s one thing you can stop waiting for today? 👇

Give yourself a minute before reacting.

The mind is like water. When it is turbulent, it is difficult to see. When it is calm, everything becomes clear.

So the next time you feel yourself caught in anger, sadness, or anxiety, give yourself a minute before reacting.
Let your thoughts settle.
Let your emotions breathe.

Clarity doesn’t come from control. It comes from stillness.
Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause, take one slow breath, and wait until the water clears.

When your mind calms, your next move becomes obvious.

What helps you stay calm when your mind feels chaotic? 💬👇

You’re not meant to fight every battle or fix every problem. Sometimes peace means putting the boulder down.

There are so many things in life that can weigh you down, but not all of them are yours to carry.
You do not have to fix everyone.
You do not have to solve every problem.
You do not have to pick up every boulder that crosses your path.

Protect your energy.
Choose your battles.
Focus on what brings you peace.

Taking care of yourself is not selfish.
It is how you stay strong enough to do what truly matters.

What is one thing you can put down today?

Feeling Stuck

Hello everybody, I hope everyone is doing well this December though it is very cold and I have resorted to using a heated blanket.
I’m feeling a little stuck at the moment. Around 5 years ago my A1C was 9.3% and my average glucose was 220. I was told by a family member I wasn’t diagnosed with diabetes or anything.
But I feel like whatever it is creeping back up in my life again.
-Blurred vision
-Extreme hunger
-Slow healing sores
-Tingling/Numbness
-Fatifue
-Increased bathroom trips
-Lightheadedness/Dizzy
-My hands shake
-Irritability
I’m not sure how I would ask a doctor about this but I’m getting a little concerned because diabetes’s does run in my family.

I know believing in yourself sounds simple, but when life breaks you down, it can feel impossible.

Believing in yourself is not about constant confidence or never doubting.

It is about having a small bit of faith, even when everything feels like it is falling apart.

Sometimes I look back at the times I thought I would not make it, when I had no idea how to move forward.

But somehow, I did.

Somehow, I am still here.

That is proof.

Proof that I have survived every single one of my hardest days.

If I could do it before, I can do it again.

And so can you.

Believing in yourself does not mean you always know how.

It means you trust that somehow, you will find a way.

What is one thing you want to start believing you can do?
