@caat I think you're doing exactly what you need to be doing. When in doubt, ask!
First off, I really appreciate your open and sincere post here. We all go through these types of struggles in one way or another, and I'm sure there's a lot of people who need to know that as well.
I totally get what you mean by not wanting to bring down your readers. One approach that I'd recommend is to experiment with feeling better.
You could write honest posts (such as this one) where you say, hey guys, today I'm not feeling well and thus I experimented with ______ to see if it made me feel any better. The blank there could be something like meditation, or art, or exercise.
There's a lot of ways to approach this, but I think if you took a proactive, empowering approach, I think you'd find it helpful and interesting for readers!
Thank you for being so awesome @caaat. I'm wishing you all the best.
I write all about empowerment psychology and often times I write about how to overcome difficult emotions. You might enjoy my stuff. I'd love to hear your thoughts about my recent post: How To Activate Your Mind's Propulsion Systems
Thank you so much for this. I read the article you made and it really is empowering. Sometimes I feel like my thoughts are just all over the place. Lots of things I wanna run away from and so are the things that keep me trying and going. I need to focus on how I think maybe? Because sometimes I’m thinking about something else and all of a sudden I’m lost to a different track.
I’ll keep in mind what I learned from your post and try my best to focus on identifying my pulls and pushes. I’ll try writing more. Drawing and singing more as well. It’ll get my mind off of negative things and hopefully relax me so I can focus.
Ugh. Sometimes I feel like I know what to do to help myself but I can’t execute fr some reason. It’s frustrating.
@caaat I think that the most powerful thing that I've realized, especially when I'm feel sad, anxious, or depressed - is that it's temporary. And because it's temporary, it means that things can and will change.
I've also noticed that oftentimes, what I'm feeling in the moment can change. So if I'm feeling depressed or even fatigued, I can change that. The simplest way to do that is to start doing the things that I know make me feel better. One of those ways is through art, another way is by moving my body through exercise or dance... there's a lot of ways to change how you feel.
But I think the most important thing to remember is that you can. And when you remember and believe that, then you're much more likely to do those things, more often.
Thanks for reading my post! I'm glad you found it useful :)
This is true. Sometimes I think I’m doubting that I can and so I couldn’t. I need to always remember this. I’m following you for more of this. It will help e a lot if I’m always reminded by these truths because honestly, sometimes, I just forget. I subconsciously create my own false truth and believe it (only when I’m in that phase).
I agree, reminders are so important! Until you establish it as a habit (AKA a subconscious pattern) you need the little things to get your mind to think in the ways you want. I think forgetfulness is probably our greatest weakness. With so much stimulation in the world, it's just so easy to forget. BUT its also easy to set yourself up for success by simply leaving notes for yourself, choosing to affirm what you are, and reading literature / watching videos that embody those truths.
So glad to hear you're following my channel. I think it will help :)
