be you

The word healing has different forms. It can be healing from a physical wound, or healing yourself. I’ve done both, but more healing myself than a wound I got.

Isn’t it crazy how someone can change you in such a positive way? But if they suddenly leave, you’re just stuck with picking yourself back up. Everyone heals differently, and at different speeds. Personally when I realized I didn’t have that person to talk to anymore that really scared me and I got that lonely feeling which also gave me horrible anxiety for the longest time. But I knew I could pick myself back up, make myself a stronger person mentally and psychically.

Hang out with family and friends more. Talk about how you’re feeling with anyone you trust, never bottle it up. Make sure you still try to eat 3 meals a day, get at least 8 hours of sleep every night, and try to get a little exercise in. Never keep yourself cooped up inside the house all day, as much as that may seem to be the best thing to do it really isn’t, trust me I know the pain.

You have to rediscover your love for your everyday life. You got so used to having someone by your side that had promised to always be there to show you how beautiful life can be when you two are together. Just because you may not have that person by your side doesn’t mean life isn’t beautiful anymore. If anything it just shows you how much life has to offer you everyday, and once again you’ll find the beauty in everyday life.

Yes, it’s going to hurt and you’ll start thinking about where it all went wrong. Yes, you’ll start to blame yourself, and think what if’s. But, in reality you did everything you could and it had nothing at all to do with you. Focus on your self love. It’s what makes a person shine so brightly. Everyone deserves to have self love within them.

At the end of this healing journey, you’ll look back at the struggles you once faced thinking it was your nightmare, and they will become your stepping stones to a path that’s something grater for you. Take that path and never look back at the past,

You’re not your past self anymore, you’re a new person that has new love for yourself. Pain doesn’t last forever, neither do we, so take care of yourselves and your bodies.

As my boyfriend would tell me. “If you’re breathing and alive, you are WINNING.”

So let’s all win together.

Hello everyone, and sorry for the little break I took from blogging.

Everyone deals with this one emotion in particular, more than we would like to, and that is called STRESS.

Have you ever cried over homework? Or even get a bad headache over stress? Been there done that way too many times than I’d like to admit myself. I wish stress just didn’t exist period, but that’s just another part of how we express our emotions as humans. Did you know the right amount of stress can be beneficial, but too much can be deadly, why? Because too much stress can make your brain cells grow at a much slower pace than it normally should, and also it can affect your immune system. Of course stress is also associated with depression, and anxiety.

Not trying to scare anyone, but this is just another reason why we should take care of our bodies! We only ever get one body, and honestly researching new stuff to do like exercises, or finding new hobbies is a great way to let some stress off of your body and helping your immune system get back into normal function.

Take me for example, I take breaks (which you all already know I’ve taken a few) and it’s okay to step back for a breather every once in awhile. I’ve been looking up painting classes cause that’s my other hobby besides blogging, and I want to get better at it but also it’s a great stress reliever for me .

Your health will always be number 1, and when you start taking care of yourself more than you normally would you will notice the change not only on your body but your face because the face is like the beginning chapter of a book you started reading. Your body will thank you.
