โMy head is everywhere. Meditating is ๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ for me.โ ๐ฅ
Meditation, like everything else, takes a little practice - just like learning an instrument ๐ธ playing a sport or game ๐๐โ๏ธ learning a language or new skill ๐ผ cooking/baking a new meal ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ณ โฆ we get better with practice โบ๏ธ
Start small; set a timer for 5, 10, or 15 seconds of rounds of intentional deep breathing. ๐ฎโ๐จโ๏ธ
Meditation isnโt about having a perfect, quiet environment. Itโs about developing mental muscles and building mental strength ๐ช๐ฝ๐ง โฆso when things are a sh*t storm ๐ช๏ธ we have the ability to stay grounded ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธโก๏ธ

Feeling so overwhelmed that it's debilitating... can't get anything done.. ๐ตโ๐ซ
What is it that you are telling yourself about the situation? ๐ญ
๐ญ โIโm drowning"
๐ญ "I can't figure this outโ
๐ญ โI don't know how I'm gonna get through thisโ.
Whatever you're telling yourself about the experience that you're having, it is contributing to how you're feeling ๐ญ ๐ฅ
If your thought is โI'm drowningโ ๐ญ then the thought of 'I'm drowning' is going to have you feeling angst ๐ฅ anxious ๐ฅ stressed out๐ฅ overwhelmed ๐ฅ or some debilitating feeling.
Try finding balance in your thoughts ๐ญ ๐ญ "this is gonna pass."
๐ญ "this is temporary."
๐ญ "Is this really something that I should be stressing about right now?"
Also, is there a different way for you to look at things? ๐ Is there a way to reframe your perspective or look at things with different eyes?

when we talk about surrender, what is the practice? have you surrendered today?
if you've been having a crazy day or weekโฆ
pause and ask yourself : have you surrendered? ..and with awareness?
๐ญ say to yourself, "I am no longer attached to the outcome of any situation because life (or your Higher Power) knows better than me"
โจ embrace things as they are, not as you think they should be
how do we do this?
๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธrefocus your mind; do something else..
pull yourself out of the intrusive or obsessive thoughts and engage in some other activity ๐ง

๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ How do the 3-5 people you spend the most time with leave you feeling?
Do you walk away feeling inspired? Motivated? Or do you find yourself feeling drained?
If people around you...
...are in a negative mood
...unhealthy for you
...or toxic for you
...it can influence the thoughts you have ๐ญ
Take an inventory of your relationships (intimate, friendships, peers, etc) - rather than paying attention to things like 'what should I say?' 'Should I say ___?' 'what if I say too much or not enough?' INSTEAD, pay attention to how YOU feel around the other person. Notice if you feel drained or energized.
With regards to intimate relationships - sometimes the person someone is dating or pursuing can be a reflection of an unhealed wound.
โ what are you getting from these dynamics?
โ how is it serving you?
there's something underlying when we ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐ฉ๐๐ฃ๐ช๐ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ค ๐๐๐๐ to an unhealthy relationship (friendships included)

I don't get how some people can be happy or let things go
Notice what you're telling yourself...what you tell yourself can be contributing to how you feel ๐ญ
There are different ways that we think - we have rational thinking and irrational thinking ๐ญ๐ญ Rational is facts - water is wet; rocks are hard. Irrational is based on feelings, emotions... it's not always accurate...it can be a little skewed.
A lot of times, our thinking will be based on irrational thinking (for example, jumping to conclusions, or things are always ___ and never _____).
We all have a tendency to have irrational thinking patterns - thinking that's based on feelings or emotions.
๐ง๐ฝโโ๏ธ ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐
๐ญ Identify the thought.
๐ญ Recognize that's irrational.
๐ญ Get yourself into the ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ of recognizing that the thoughts are irrational
๐ญ Practice shifting going from negative to ๐ฃ๐๐ช๐ฉ๐ง๐๐ก (not necessarily 'positive' but to a place where you could say...'okay..that's fair'), for example
๐ชด 'I have always figured this/things out.'
๐ชด 'Next time, I'll handle things differently.'
๐ชด Making mistakes doesn't mean, I'm stupid, broken, weak, or bad.

Why do we fall back into old habits or behaviors?
Sometimes we'll try our best ๐ค๐ฝ set ourselves up for success..make promises to ourselves..
Yet somehow, we'll have a break down๐ฅ
Fall back into old behaviors. Reactive. Old narratives. Judgement.
๐ค Why is that?
Some reasons include
๐ตโ๐ซ Familiarity. Familiarity can be like a subconscious comfort (your sogie binkie blanket, if you will). It's known..even if it's unhealthy.
๐ตโ๐ซ [Relapse] Justifications. We will justify (irrational) reasons to 'relapse' into old, unhealthy behaviors ๐ญ Our thinking/thoughts can persuade us.
๐จ๐ค ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ค?
๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐:
๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ป First, get honest with yourself and identify those unhealthy behaviors! ๐๐ฆ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ ๐จ๐ฆ๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ค๐ญ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ช๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ค๐ญ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ๐ต, ๐ธ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ค๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฅ ๐ค๐ญ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ง๐ช๐ณ๐ด๐ต, ๐ข๐ด ๐ ๐ญ๐ช๐ฌ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ข๐บ.
๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ป Journaling. Use it as a self reflecting tool.
๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ป Identify the new, healthy behaviors you're looking to shift to.
๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ป Begin to make it a ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐๐๐. Practice every time you want to engage in that old, unhealthy behavior swap it with your new identified behavior.

feeling stuck in your current situation? crave progress and growth, but find yourself holding back?
it's a natural human tendency to seek comfort and security, but sometimes that can hold us back from achieving our full potential.
progress only comes when we are willing to take risks and step outside of our comfort zone. it's not easy, and it can be scary to face the unknown, but it's worth it.
when we challenge ourselves and push past our limits, we discover what we are truly capable of.
if you're feeling stuck or stagnant, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you have the courage and strength to step outside of your comfort zone.
embrace the challenge and trust that the journey will be worth it. you can do this!
