Part of self-care is thinking positively. Most of the time, I do this for myself and others, but there comes times when I struggle to not be so hard on myself. With as many good things going on right now in my life, you would think it would easy to shut out the negative thoughts and be able to balance my mind’s attention. I get stuck and dwell on the one thing that is bothering until I can hardly stand it anymore, despite every other positive thing around me. I know this is one of my downfalls, and I am working on making it better and have a healthier coping mechanism; I just have not gotten there yet. Saying kind and encouraging things to your friends and the people around you comes so naturally to most of us, but when it comes times to be that voice of reason for yourself, something gets completely lost in translation. Not all self-care is doing one thing for yourself and calling it good. Self-care is a constant practice that involves clearing headspace. It is time I start listening to the advice and support I hand out to others and be able to see past the one thing that continues to drain me. Out with the negative and in with the positive.
