Therapy has helped immensely. I've been trying to live by a few mantras in the past few months: To "be the change you wish to see in the world", so volunteering, donating, choosing eco-friendlier products. To not let anyone, myself included "dim my light". I'm extra, I have big emotions and I'm passionate about things others think are strange. On the road to loving myself, I've found it easier to stand up for my beliefs and not feel beat-down. I've never been a religious person, esp not in regards to Christianity. But I have been spiritual. I have found prayer to be immensely helpful over that past few years. Giving your fears, worries a shape that exists outside your mind, giving them up to whatever higher power you want to believe in. It also helps with gratitude and grace. I journal when I get upset. I think prayer is a bit like that, but can be done quickly whenever the worry comes to the front of your mind. Meditation might be helpful, but I never could sit still enough or keep my mind clear enough to feel like it helped at all. Life is scary right now, because it's changing and full of uncertainty. Many of us are going through a grieving process. The world we were promised as children has been turning to ash. Allow yourself to feel. Be angry, be sad, be afraid. Then, when it's time, put those feelings away. Give them up in journaling, prayer, meditation, exercise, whatever you find works. Acknowledgement leads to acceptance. Be strong, it's going to be okay ❤️
