Kind Monday reminder

Hi all:)
It's Monday again.
And we face a new week.
Something that can help us through are glimmers.
I've shared about these before.
But I needed the reminder and thought some of you might too.
Glimmers are the opposite of triggers.
So it can really help and ease to try to be aware of glimmers when we come across them.
They can be very subtle.
But we can build on them.
And cling to them if we need to.
I wish you a good week - however that might look for you.

We did it! Wanna share a win?

Another week - check.
You made it - check.
However you got through;
you got through!
And I am proud of you.
I was able to work on acceptance.
By practicing accepting my circumstances.
I managed to accept my life as in small glimpses.
And that was a big win for me!
It gave me some peace with what is.
And I am working on educating myself in DBT.
Came across this goal:
"to accept yourself and your life exactly as it is right now, AND to work on new ways of coping with life's stresses".
And that's exactly what I'm working on.
Many of you are too.
And I am proud of us!
Do you want to share a win in the comments?
So we can cheer each other on.
I'll get us started as usual.

A cup of self-care

I'm working on making self-care a staple.
Like my morning coffee.
Or my afternoon tea.
Which actually both are forms of self-care for me.
Because that's my intention.
Working on being more mindful here🙋‍♀️
I think many actions can be forms of self-care if we have that intention.
It does require practice and awareness.
And I am working on it.
Because prior to my mental health issues, I really didn't have any focus on self-care.
Which probably contributed to me developing mental health issues in the first place...
I was wrapped up in others.
Not myself.
Now I am working on having a balance between filling my own cup and pouring from it.
I am not there... yet.
But I get points for trying.
So do you in your endeavors!

Hope

Fellow mighty @tropacero shared this quote the other day.
And I really loved it.
So I wanted to share it with you too.
Hope has been my fuel for as long as I can remember.
I once had a friend who told me my default mode was hope.
And that is a lifesaving default mode to have.
Especially when you juggle the diagnosis, I do.
But sometimes I need a boost of hope.
Then I look for glimmers.
Good quotes and pictures om Pinterest.
My children's laugh.
And I go The Mighty.
To be inspired and lifted my you mighties.
Let's continue on together.
Together we are stronger.
Together we can build hope.

The power of YET

Continuing the post yesterday.
It got me thinking about the power of yet.
I really love this.
One little word that can transform a sentence and a notion or a thought completely.
When it comes to healing (and many other things) most of us want it fixed now - or even better; yesterday.
But many things take time.
Especially healing.
And to use YET is a good way to cut yourself some slack.
And show yourself some compassion.
But also to comfort ourselves:
It's on its way.
You're doing your best.
You may not be there.... yet.
But that doesn't mean you won't get there.
Easy does it.
What matters is we keep showing up for ourselves.
And that we don't abandon ourselves.

Maybe there is in fact progress?

I am working on so many things on my healing journey.
Just like I can se most of you are too.
And sometimes it really gets rough.
And it's uncomfortable oftentimes.
And it can feel pointless because you maybe don't feel the benefits of your work.
Yet.
Such an important word; yet.
I don't feel the benefits of my work - yet.
But I am building the foundation for them.
Preparing.
Laying the ground work.
I am showing up, doing the work (most days at least;).
And that's so important.
The continuous cultivation of healthier thoughts, strategies and habits.
Keep going.
You are doing such important work!

We made it! Wanna share a win?

It's Friday!
You made it!
And you get a BIG trophy for that most important win🏆
No matter how you got through,
you got through!
And good for you.
Do you want to take a moment, look back at your week, and find a win?
You deserve the praise and recognition that comes from whatever win, you can find.
There are only BIG wins in my book.
Today I had a shower = big win.
Wednesday I had an important meeting = big win.
Made an appointment at the hairdresser = big win.
Do you wanna share a win from your week?
As always I'll get us started in the comments.
Just to round up:
I am proud of you!
