Forms of Self-Care

Unlearning your own toxic patterns is a form of self-care.

Seeing this line made me want to create a blog post. It is one of the most true statements that I have read in a long time.

In order to heal yourself and truly care for yourself- you do need to unlearn your toxic patterns.

One thing that I have been doing really well at lately, was changing the way I talk about myself. I used to be very negative about myself, about the things that I do, and the way that I look. My negative self talk was truly making me my own worst enemy.

I am currently a ray of MF sunshine and I am embodying the color yellow. I have done a lot of work to get to where I am today.

I know a lot of what I appear as may look like luck to others. I know I am built the way that I am, and have my genetics that I was given. It does feel like luck; however, we all have our own struggles. I may appear as happy, healthy, and a woman who owns her sh*t. I was not always this way.

It does take a lot of work in order to be here. I do have days and times where I am very down on myself, lost in my head or worse. I do always find a way back to myself. It really takes time to find what helps you the best truly. Try all of the love languages or explore more options to get yourself some self love. You deserve all the love in the world no matter who you are, no matter what you look like.

I used to be a very jealous person, I was focused on my own lack and not being thankful for what I have. Once I started focusing on being present, grateful for what I have, living in joy while others experience joy and know my turn is coming- I have been so much happier.

Lately, new people I meet will talk about how they appreciate my authenticity, that I have such a good energy to me when I am near them. That is my goal, bring positivity and joy around me.

Don't get me wrong, I still experience all emotions. I might go through most of them every day as well. I am never afraid to express my emotions.

This image here is something my roommate sent me. She finds me cringe all the time, it doesn't mean that she feels any different about me as a person.

I find a lot of weird things fun, and I love that about myself. I am loving my weird brain, I find more things that bring me joy and I actually like.

People will not always like the things that you love. That gives you more room to love it! The people who also love it will find joy in it and community.

Be your authentic self, treat yourself the way you'd want to be treated by others and know you deserve nothing but the best. You are the prize that people will want to be around.

Let your stars shine bright. If people are being inconsiderate do not consider them. Let them be and you be your best self. Live in the mindset that you are already living your best life. Stay focused on the positivity and feel all of your feelings.
