Just a reminder that while positivity is a great tool it is not healthy to:
- repress negative thoughts/feelings
- feel guilty for having negative thoughts/feelings
- feel that you can’t express negative thoughts/feelings
Negative emotions are a part of life, and a truly balanced cognitive strategy will accept this (while working to change the balance of good to bad and teaching you coping strategies/self care/distraction etc)
“i’m in kind of a weird mental place right now” i say, as if there are times when i am not in a weird mental place
sometimes i am so overwhelmingly sad about every single thing i’ve ever been sad about and i think the sadness will kill me
i like to get inspired and then not act on it and waste away in my bed
