The Ultimate Pick Yourself Up Guide 💗✨

Hey loves, I'm back with another long post and today I'm writing about picking yourself up! It's something close to my heart as I have a condition I have struggled with for years that makes it hard to concentrate.

I hope this post is like cool water to your mind and will turn your focus to yourself and how you feel.

Ok ..

Ask yourself

Does my body hurt?

Am I mentally exhausted?

Does my heart feel heavy?

Is my head spinning?

If you relate or say 'yes' to any of these, I want you to take a breath and validate your feelings. Especially on this side of Tumblr were we are constantly acquiring new skills and becoming our best selves, you need to be very careful with your health.

Like I said validate your aches and discomforts, if you are feeling stressed and heavy make sure you feel the extent of your discomfort, let it weigh on you for a second so you personally realise how much you need to take a mental getaway.

At this point cry a bit if you want, nothings wrong with crying, you don't need to be sad to cry, it's just a form of release and surrender.

Step 1 : Take a hot bath 🌫️

Take a bath to loosen your muscles and calm yourself a bit. Become in tune with the temperature of the water and how it feels on your skin. Come back to yourself and sit and enjoy the water. You can burn some essential oil or essence sticks for energy as well as aromatherapy. The point is to get out of your head and get in tune with your senses. This is one of the methods used for calming anxiety, it brings you back to the present and away from all responsibility for a while. Massage your body after you get out with oils, it soothes your muscles a bit.

Here's a video that can be a basic guideline

Step 2 : Moving your body🤸🏽‍♀️

During this time where you feel out of it, your back may ache or you may genuinely feel disconnected from your body. I recommend yoga during this time as it's perfect for finding a centre in yourself as well as opening up your body. You don't wanna rush into something crazy like HIIT. Ease your body. The point of this is to romance your body, bring that love of yourself back into you. A little movement will also get some serotonin running in your system.

I'll recommend some yin yoga practices as those focus more on the lower body and hips which tend to be where stress and tension tends to collect for women.

My favourite yoga workouts come from Boho Beautiful, here are some of my favourite

Deep Yin Yoga Stretch for Releasing All That No Longer Serves You

Yin Yoga For The Upper Body and Stress

Yin Yoga For Flexibility, Sore Hips and Hamstrings

Yoga For PMS, Body Aches and Gentle Realignment

Step 3 : Meditation 🧘

Meditation is amazing, you just need to have a certain amount of self discipline and surrender to the practice.

Try out Hypnosis too, as weird as it sounds it works on certain people, me being one of them 😂

This part is really important as it caters to your hard working brain and muscles.

Michael Sealey is my favourite in terms of guided meditation and hypnosis

This is also a good one!

Even listen to ASMR if you like it.

Step 4 : Make food for yourself 🍳🍲🥗

You don't need to be a chef for this, all you need to do is prepare a home-made meal for yourself. It'll make you happier and make you aware of what you eat as a lot of tiredness and so many other issues are caused by certain foods you might be allergic to or have a low tolerance for.

I also suggest going vegetarian or vegan a few days of the week as meat weighs you down and makes you a bit slow as it takes long to process in the stomach.

Taking control of your diet is a huge part of taking control of your life as you are aware of what you put into yourself. I'm a full believer of the phrase "you are what you eat".

Step 5 : Talk to someone 👯

Especially at this time, some of you could be lonely and that's the reason for your discomfort, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Humans are social by a nature. Call an old friend, your parents or if you don't have anyone go on Omegle. Just talk to someone.

Step 6 : Learn or read something 📚

Some of you could be boardering brain dead territory. You need to exercise your brain, it's an organ that needs to be stimulated.

Read, download Duolingo, go people watching. Anything is better than looking at a screen all day. You might need to go on a deprogramming mission where you focus on what's real and around you. I've seen it in so many people who are so infatuated with their devices and the internet that they don't know the difference between what's real and what's not. Don't let that be you. I'm sure all of you are too pretty and smart to be having Alzheimer's in your 50s.

Step 7 : Clean your space !!! 🌊

This step is essential, look around your house and room. Empty the bins. Wipe everything down. Look under your bed. Check your pipe systems. Get rid of any dust, grime, mold, everything. I'm a strong germaphobe and I'm really particular about the cleanliness of my atmosphere because your atmosphere is the air you breathe and the air you breathe powers your whole existence. Now if you're sitting in a room with a moldy corner, dust mites and some 9 month old dirt living rent free, no wonder you're sad and lethargic. You're getting poisoned by your air daily!?

Here's some helpful stuff

A YouTube channel run by a cleaning expert that has videos on how to clean everything!

Step 8 : Sleep😴

You need to recharge every night. Make sure you get atleast 7 hours of sleep. You can't expect to function at 100% with a 60% full battery.

Recommendation 🍑

Delete all unnecessary social media, it'll reduce a lot of stress <3

That's all I have for now

Justin Foley-Jensen Adoption Headcanons

This was not requested, and I have requests I need to fill, but I’m feeling extra about this rn so I’m doing it

After Justin and Clay have their talk, they share the news with Clay’s parents

Lainie beams and embraces both of them

Matt just smiles and claps a hand on both of their shoulders

They ask Justin if he’d like to make their guest room his room

And he says yes

But it’s on the first floor and it’s too quiet and lonely at night

So he ends up sleeping in the upstairs hallway one night after a particularly bad nightmare

Clay wakes up early and literally trips over Justin’s head

Once Justin explains what happened, Clay just rolls his eyes, and says, “Jesus, next time just come sleep in my room. It’s not like I mind.” Then he shoves Justin good-naturedly, and says, “Listen, you fucking detoxed from heroin all over my bedroom floor. You should know by know that you can come sleep in my room whenever.”

Lainie is the one who notices Justin’s been using again

She finds his stash when she’s doing the laundry one day

When she asks him about it, he denies it, but once she shows him what she found he knows he’s busted

And then he just cries

It’s like everything that’s been building up for so long, and the shame within him for relapsing after he promised to get clean just hurts so bad

They took him in, and he feels like he doesn’t deserve it

She just hugs him for a while and rubs his back, which makes him cry harder because he never really had comfort like this from his mom (or a mother figure) before

She tells him that they’ll get him into a program for recovery from substance abuse

It slips out before he can stop it, “Thanks, Mom.”

It surprises both of them

But Lainie just smiles and kisses his forehead. “You’re welcome, honey.”

When Clay finds out that Justin is going into a program, he tells him of when he had to sign up for a substance abuse program because of the weed that was planted on him at school

He assures him that the program will be good for him

Because obviously Clay knew he was nervous

Clay and Justin seem to have an intuition for each other’s feelings 

Matt is the one who tries to get Justin back into his hobbies

He offers to shoot hoops with him, even though he’s really bad at it

He helps Justin with his homework and is always patient with him in a way Clay sometimes isn’t

They have family game nights and family movie nights

They’re always disgusting adorable and cliché

Matt never stops making dad jokes

Matt teaches Justin how to cook

Justin discovers that he really likes it

And he really likes having a family to cook for

On his adoption day, they all dress up and take lots of pictures (much to Clay’s and Justin’s dismay)

Justin decides to hyphenate his last name because as he put it, “I don’t think I want to forget my past and where I came from but…I want to commit to this family, you know? I want your last name. You guys are the best thing that ever happened to me”

It’s a very emotional moment

A big family group hug ensues, started by Clay’s mom 

They throw a big party for Justin’s adoption day with all his new relatives and friends

After people are starting to clear out, Justin and Clay are sitting on the side by themselves

Clay says, “You know, I kind of always wanted a sibling growing up. Being an only child can be kind of lonely sometimes.”

Justin just smiles and punches his arm and says, “You’re tellin’ me.”

They both just laugh

The Jensen family never felt so complete or whole

Even if they argue, they love and accept each other at the end of the day

And they make each other better people

unfortunate that twilight (the book and movie franchise) was marked overwhelmingly in its relevant years by petty criticism in the vein of “vampires shouldnt sparkle and yucky girls like it” cause now whenever any substantive criticism is levelled against twilight (ie the racism, abuse apologism, among many many other things) people want to come wildly at its defense with a great internet anger

@starryjuno i love you more than u love five

the japanese government has approved the revision of ALL jp textbooks scheduled to be released starting next year (2022) that state dokdo is japanese territory illegally* claimed by koreans. furthermore, they've outright eradicated any prominent mention of comfort women.

they are even utilizing the tokyo olympics for their propaganda, including dokdo under the japanese map for their promotions. the ioc is letting this pass due to the massive amounts of funding they receive from the jp government.

we cannot let this pass. the japanese government's aim is to erase their crimes without a single word of apology. they have already half achieved this through global soft power and covering the ears of the new generation. fighting against this NOW**, and for generations afterwards is the way to hold our rightful place.

*you dense bitch, how can it be illegal when dokdo has always belonged to korea? it is closest to OUR peninsula. furthermore, if japan claims dokdo, they will also gain control of the waters close to korea, which is another political can of worms I will not discuss here.

**activists of previous generations have already been up against right wing jp propaganda bs for literal DECADES.

“I am the daughter of the witch you couldn’t burn”. -White “feminists”

…

People were no burned because they were witches.

People were burned because of paranoia and superstitions, severe misogyny, xenophobia, people thinking epilepsy and other disabilities were demonic possession, people fearing red hair, wearing colorful clothing, jealousy, blemished skin and skin conditions in general, birthmarks, and fungi, which caused the hallucinations which were thought to be demonic possession and “the devil”.

The fact that white women are taking this part of history, and twisting it to make themselves look cool and hip is absolutely disrespectful and disgusting. Real people suffered and died. This is not something to glorify and praise.

comfy?
