Make Your Damn Bed

felt wholesome and grateful and cheesy AF today, but whateeeeever I AM NOT CRYING, YOU ARE CRYING.

I lied, it's me. I am crying. You mean more to me than words can express. THANK YOU.

I've been catching myself "productively procrastinating" by prioritizing the issues/problems/concerns of those around me in order to actively avoid my own without a ton of guilt + boy oh boy, is that a good way to lose energy + motivation to take care of your own shit.

we may not be able to completely change + affect our reality where it is currently - but with persistence, we can learn to enjoy the experience of where we are now, and set mindful motions towards where we'd like to be.

different days will call for different things, especially when it comes to what your garden needs to thrive. even if it feels like most days are just spent "waiting" for your harvest to sprout up + show ya something. that said, if you can find some joy in the process, the weeding, the tending, and the nourishing - you crack the code to loving the garden through loving the gardening.

Not every day will be harvest day but not every day has to be a fertilizer day, either. Most days will involve some nourishment + hydration (normal tending) but most days will feel like a whole lot of waiting. Learn to love the wait. Learn to embrace the down time. Learn to lean into the faith that your foundations + experience are working below the surface of the soil to provide you with whatever you may need, when it's ready.

The Technique: It may help to think of our mental health like our own personal garden.

Everyone's foundations, needs, goals, and process will be unique + nuanced. Adaptability + balance is a big part in sustaining a flourishing garden. We can (+ will want to) apply general tips + tricks but what we need to be successful will be hyper specific to our personal situation.

When we plant seeds, we must plant them firmly + confidently then get comfortable waiting. Never dig 'em up too early, just to check Trust your prep work was enough to set you up for success.

Mental health is our emotional, psychological, + social well-being (as well as our past experiences + heredity) all have an impact on how we think, feel, + act. These factors combine + affect the quality of our mental health, which influences how we deal with stress, interact with others, + make decisions.

Generally, if our mental health sucks, so can our outlook, which can make us feel like our whole lives suck, too.

Luckily, if we are tactful, patient, and honest with ourselves + others - with time, intentionality, dedication, consistency, (+ a lil support) you can improve your mental health, thus improving your quality of life.

Give yourself adequate time to process the process.

When life gets a little too: 'go, go, go!' I have to schedule in processing time to sit + think about my day so I don't get bogged down with experience. I find the more I just push + power through any experiences or feelings (big or small), the less comfortable I feel in my body. My brain feels stressed + it takes a while to decompress at night, but when I am intentional with my processing time, I find myself far less stressed in general.

When you fall the slightest bit behind, do you feel overwhelmed by all the shit you're not doing? If so, you're probably like me + instead of doing the thing you're freaking out about not doing, you spend all that time freaking out about the freak out, instead.

I've begun to embrace my "it's on the list, it'll get done" energy by intentionally utilizing the list but never overthinking the list.

The list should be a way to let go until you're ready to pick it back up. The key is to remember why you started the list, which was to reduce stress. Use the list to ease all the things you've not done, but not be an additional stressor to remind you of all the things you've not done.
