We love to watch & support black actors but we have to be careful how those movies affect our moods/mental well-being. We need to be honest about what those movies do to our mental health. We may need to watch those movies at an appropriate time, when we can handle & possibly enjoy the movie. Also, we may want to simply our goals ( breaking them down to baby-steps). so we can realistically, achieve those goals, without giving up on them.

Two ways to help Black Women practice self care.

We need to learn to affirm ourselves and to stop letting others dump their emotional destress on you.

We all could use a cry every now and again; don’t be afraid to release those endorphins. And after you’ve had that good cry, work on limiting people from your life who don’t really add value to your way of living/being.

Get ready to accept all the good things people compliment you on and be careful what you allow to feed your mind. No negative junk here!

Watch something that will motivate you and make you laugh(laughter is like medicine). Don’t shrink yourself for anyone.

We all need ways to cope in this world, skills that help us regulate our emotions, in a manner that is healthy. Using social media, like all things, should be in moderation, and not to pass judgment. Social media can be a good tool to use, but sometimes, we must take a break from it.

We must validate our experiences and in doing, we validate our existence. Sit in your emotions and process them, and don’t forget to start your day in silence.

Taking a break from social media can increase your mental & physical wellness. Challenge yourself to decrease your time in social media. Also sistas, don’t suppress your angry to please others, hit’m with the truth and keep it moving.

Ladies, we must prioritize our lives and what we are doing, especially, that which is not helpful to us. Also, remember, no is a complete sentence, no explanation needed.
