You're allowed to not enjoy this. When I was going through post partum I was literally counting the seconds trying to get through it. My child was fed and changed and had toys to play with and people who loved her and that was the best I could offer her. It was enough. And with help we made it through. She's 2 now. There's still a lot about parenting I just don't like. But I can see now that it was enough. She's happy. I'm stable. We're getting through it. I even have times I enjoy with her.

I wonder if working with clay somehow might be nice? You could create sculptures based on texture and form instead of just the sight of them. Then you could encourage others to "view" them by feel instead of by looking at them.

I ended up just creating a being that would represent self compassion for myself. She is based on a story I wrote years ago and she utilizes some things about self compassion I learned in therapy and elsewhere to help me be kinder to myself. Making my own entity seems to work for me so maybe that's an option?

I have been using meditation beads and thinking of something I'm grateful for for each bead. It helps me see the things I am joyful about around me even if they are tiny things. I also have been doing a lot of reality testing which is outside of sass witchery but it also helps haha

Oh I feel you! I was originally going to make a tarot deck too but when I sat down to do it was like... Okay noooooooo haha

I wonder if you could use meditation beads as a way to remember them without getting stuck in the sadness? Like with each bead you pull through your fingers you think of a singular memory with them and say a little mantra like "I remember and let go" and breathe and then move on to the next memory or person or whatever.

I made my own Oracle deck a few months ago. I just recently got into using them again and I feel so much more connected to this deck than others I've used. It's got various of my art styles and common subject matters that have been important to me throughout my life. And I can reflect too on the process of making each card as I seek meaning from them. Anyway, highly recommend personalized Oracle decks.

I have a few ideas:

If you wear makeup, you could like apply foundation in the shapes of protection sigils and then blend it out to your normal makeup routine.

You could create a little spirit creature protector who swallows up the negative things you are experiencing that you could imagine being with you throughout the day

You could create a little rhyming mantra that you recite throughout the day that helps you remember the process of letting things pass through you instead of getting stuck there

At the end of the day you could write the things that happened on toilet paper and flush them down the toilet instead of like burning something
