25.01.2022 Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up. As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was n...ot dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean. He came closer still and called out "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?" The young man paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean." "I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?" asked the somewhat startled wise man. To this, the young man replied, "The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them in, they'll die." Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, "But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can't possibly make a difference!" At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one.

19.01.2022 #Repost @the.holistic.psychologist with @get_repost Consciousness is the path to healing. Most people call this awakening because that’s what it is: awakening to your own unconscious behavior. There is a lot of confusion about what it is to live a conscious life. Being conscious isn’t choosing to not eat meat, to not use plastic, or to be a minimalist who does not consume.... Being conscious isn’t about knowing every government conspiracy theory, or boycotting corporations, or railing against big pharma. It is not a one time choice and then poof!: we are ‘woke.’ Consciousness might bring you to these choices, but if the focus is external, this is just ego. Consciousness is inner work. To become conscious is to begin to practice observing your thoughts. There’s a train of thoughts going through your mind at all times (even as you read this post.) It might be telling you a story as you read this. Consciousness is to become aware of that story. Consciousness is to see you are not your thoughts, you’re the awareness who can observe those thoughts. As you practice, your awareness will get wider and wider. You’ll start to see how you speak. You’ll start to observe how you spend your time. You’ll start to see just how much you resist reality by trying to control it. You’ll see how you’re constantly projecting, assuming, and denying. This is what we do when we are not aware: we project our past into the present moment. And in doing so we create our own suffering over and over again. To live a conscious life is work. It’s something to commit to and practice daily. When we become conscious, we are unlearning. We are shedding the conditioning, the labels, and the stories that kept us safe so that we can become the powerful, limitless creator of our own lives. Are you becoming more conscious? #selfhealers #consciousliving #awareness

18.01.2022 The ego trap. The ego serves a purpose, to keep us safe. But sometimes it takes the reins and that’s not ideal. Learn to tell when your ego is making decisions. Notice it. Don’t berate yourself. Just notice. Awareness is the beginning of real change. #ego #egotrap #selfhealing #awareness #selfcare

16.01.2022 Healing is our responsibility because unprocessed pain gets transferred to everyone around us, and we are not going to allow what someone else did to us to become what we do to those we love.

16.01.2022 That little voice in your head; what does it sound like? Does it make you feel strong and capable, or weak and hopeless? Is it compassionate and supportive, or indifferent and discouraging? Would you speak to your best friend the way you speak to yourself? Our inner dialogue matters. #bekindtoyourself #selfcare #selflove #innerdialogue #alwaysdoingyourbest #bekindalways #bekind #selfworth

16.01.2022 Real change is possible when we focus on the cause and not the symptoms. #areyourneedsbeingmet #accountability #selfcare #behaviour #behavior #health #mentalhealth #wellbeing

07.01.2022 Who else can recognise these patterns? I know I can. As Dr LePera states, codependency is nothing to be ashamed of. It is learned behaviour. Anything we can learn, we can unlearn. The first step is awareness and acknowledgement.

07.01.2022 Our path to healing begins with an understanding that all of our behaviors, patterns, thoughts + beliefs are simply our conditioning. They are not who we are, they are a reflection of our past. Nothing is wrong with us. We are not damaged or mentally ill, we are resilient humans who have learned certain ways to cope.

04.01.2022 Self-care is often a very unbeautiful thing. It is making a spreadsheet of your debt and enforcing a morning routine and cooking yourself healthy meals and no ...longer just running from your problems and calling the distraction a solution. It is often doing the ugliest thing that you have to do, like sweat through another workout or tell a toxic friend you don’t want to see them anymore or get a second job so you can have a savings account or figure out a way to accept yourself so that you’re not constantly exhausted from trying to be everything, all the time and then needing to take deliberate, mandated breaks from living to do basic things like drop some oil into a bath and read Marie Claire and turn your phone off for the day. A world in which self-care has to be such a trendy topic is a world that is sick. Self-care should not be something we resort to because we are so absolutely exhausted that we need some reprieve from our own relentless internal pressure. True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from. And that often takes doing the thing you least want to do. It often means looking your failures and disappointments square in the eye and re-strategizing. It is not satiating your immediate desires. It is letting go. It is choosing new. It is disappointing some people. It is making sacrifices for others. It is living a way that other people won’t, so maybe you can live in a way that other people can’t. It is letting yourself be normal. Regular. Unexceptional. It is sometimes having a dirty kitchen and deciding your ultimate goal in life isn’t going to be having abs and keeping up with your fake friends. It is deciding how much of your anxiety comes from not actualizing your latent potential, and how much comes from the way you were being trained to think before you even knew what was happening. If you find yourself having to regularly indulge in consumer self-care, it’s because you are disconnected from actual self-care, which has very little to do with treating yourself and a whole lot do with parenting yourself and making choices for your long-term wellness. It is no longer using your hectic and unreasonable life as justification for self-sabotage in the form of liquor and procrastination. It is learning how to stop trying to fix yourself and start trying to take care of yourself and maybe finding that taking care lovingly attends to a lot of the problems you were trying to fix in the first place. It means being the hero of your life, not the victim. It means rewiring what you have until your everyday life isn’t something you need therapy to recover from. It is no longer choosing a life that looks good over a life that feels good. It is giving the hell up on some goals so you can care about others. It is being honest even if that means you aren’t universally liked. It is meeting your own needs so you aren’t anxious and dependent on other people. It is becoming the person you know you want and are meant to be. Someone who knows that salt baths and chocolate cake are ways to enjoy life not escape from it. -Brianna Wiest [Illustration: Yaoyao Ma Van As Art ]

01.01.2022 So many people don’t know the signs to look for in their friends when they’re having a tough time. Check in on your friends once in a while, it may just save a life, or at the very least, help them to not feel so alone #ruok #ruokday2019 #reachout #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth

01.01.2022 What these people needed was for me to hear them and acknowledge what they were going through. Instead, I forced them to listen to me and acknowledge me. We’ve all done this. Holding space for someone is something that comes naturally for some, but anyone can learn it.
