Meditation and journaling and reading about all the truly horrific times gone by. Like there was a period in history where hills were made of human bones. So many skeletons that when they wanted to pave a road they ground the skeletons into the ground and mortar because they had no where else to put them. Fun stuff… lol

It’s a daily battle and lately I’ve been losing 😔 but I try to do daily walks, engage with inspiring media and podcasts, talk to loved ones, love on my two cats, go to therapy, and listening to a lot of music. I also think of brighter days and try to hold onto instances of hope & breakthroughs when they come. It’s tough out here, but every day is another chance to work on building a brighter future 🥲 ☀️ ❤️‍🩹

Some obvious and not so obvious things that have been life changing to minimize that feeling of overwhelm/spiralling — #1: Intentionally limit social media (we all kind of know this one), #2 start a therapy journey (as in, finding a good therapist ain’t easy or cheap, but it’s not a one-time solution. It’s an investment in yourself, your career and relationships that will pay back 10x), #3: Somatic shaking (look up somatic work to get into your body and physically heal trauma vs taking up a hobby like running which gives you a short distraction from trauma but wont actually allow your body to relearn & trust itself), #4: Play 396hz noise if you’re effected by music to help ground yourself. (This is the frequency of your root chakra, whether you believe in chakra work or not, helps immediately bring you back to your body). Take care 🫶

Walking. Just walking and listening to music. 💗

So this is for sure not recommended but the attention of a man helps
