A fun mental exercise for character writing is thinking of the meanest, cruelest, most cutting thing you can say to them.

It's an effective but fun way to get to the core of their weaknesses and insecurities.

Im gonna do another exercise here. I’m meant to let my automatic thoughts  roam free for a minute and just track them as they go. It’ll probably sound crazy but I shouldn’t tell myself that, everyone has a weird and contradictory inner monologue to some degree.

     -I feel scared at the potential for storms. What if my tummy hurts. What if I got sick somehow somewhere. I know its not logical but its always possible. So much is out of my control. The weather predicts a low likelyhood for storms the next couple days but a big one could happen like that one time. Why am I so scared. I currently have to use the bathroom and Im always worried its going to point to me being sick. I know its stupid but its how I feel. I want to be productive and hang out with friends but I worry my fears will get in the way because they always do. 

Im supposed to do this 2 more times and I’m going to try to focus the topic a little more.

     -The power might go out in the next couple days. Realistically not but what if? I can never know how Im going to feel, not having that control upsets me. I just need to feel safe. I’ve done all my preparing so I should be okay. Its all realistic preparing I think. I’m not sinking thousands of dollars into this. Just a couple batteries and lights. I’ll be okay. But what If I’m not. I like to be in my parents house when there is thunder but my dad and sister are home from their trip with a new dog so everything would be chaos over there and very filthy. I feel like I lost that safe space, and the amount of times I’ve gone over there for something just to hear “One of us is sick” is worrying to me.

     -Im stressed that I can’t even trust my parents to tell me when they are sick. Its annoying and irresponsible. I should ask them to call me when it happens so I can know BEFORE I go over there for something. And they always tell me “you’re fine, its just *this* or its just *that* and I have no reason to worry.” I feel like my fear is valid on some level. I dont want to be sick. Its scary. It strips away my safe zone completely. I want to avoid it at all costs. I know its not realistic but maybe I have some kind of trauma I’m not remember about this. Which sucks because how do I remember something I don’t know that I know? 

Unfortunately I didn’t completely understand the instructions of the exercise. I’m meant to naturally start listening to my thoughts like they are someone else, or like arguing children. I guess I did understand on some level how these thoughts come from a place that isn’t my conscious mind. Its a rampant thought machine bent on survival.

Ok I think I made up a way to get myself more hyped to clean my room. Just, imagine it's not mine. If I wanted to make someone I love happy by cleaning their room I would do it without complaint, and be very proud. So, I just have to mentally disattach myself from my...self. and try. Boom.

But I'll have to guinea pig this on myself bc I don't know if there's anyone who has tried it before. Imma give updates once I try.

If you try before that update, pls tag or dm me I so wanna know if it works for other ppl.

Dementia, a condition marked by cognitive decline, is a growing concern, especially among seniors. Understanding the risk factors associated with dementia is crucial for effective prevention. When it comes to safeguarding cognitive health, considering options like home care Vancouver can play a pivotal role.

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.

And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.

But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.

Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.

So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.

Respect our rest.

#wrenfea.exe #DISCLAIMER: dont take this as me saying you should be pushing your mentally ill friends #this is more about how physical conditions often differ in how they are treated #also dont like. force your friends or anyone with anxiety to do things they dont want to #thats what therapists are for #also most mental illnesses require medication alongside therapy before they can get better #but even chronic illnesses and disabilities that benefit from exercise still require knowing your limits #and not being pressured to push past them #ive noticed some professionals who help both mentally and physically ill patients tend towards the push method #like my therapist and sometimes my counselors fall back on that method #and i have to remind them i am already pushing myself #and i need to adapt rather than push forward #chronic disability #chronic pain #spoonie #disability #chronic illness #cripple punk #cripplepunk #cpunk

One critical mental exercise for those with Anxiety

One critical mental exercise for those with Anxiety

No articles today, no witty quotes, I’m just going to share with you a little life experience here. Many of us have full lives. Spouses, In-laws, Children, Friends, Co-Workers, Pets on and on. Some of us have too full of a life, meaning we have so many ways to expend energy and time we often come up short. What does that mean exactly? In short it means we are expanding our mental energy and time…

Dementia: What you do while you sit may affect your risk

Dementia: What you do while you sit may affect your risk

A new study of sedentary behavior finds that doing mentally passive activities such as watching TV increases the likelihood of developing dementia while using a computer lowers them.The difference between the two is unaffected by how physically active a person is when they are not sitting.Other research suggests physiological reasons for the difference, and some studies find the same effect on…

self care ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚

what exactly is self care?

self care: the practice of taking an active role in protecting one's own well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. (googles version)

self care: self care is something that originates with you, makes you feel better and spiritually brings you closer to yourself. (my version)

self care could be a way of making yourself feel better, starting new habits, setting a new goal, and learning to love yourself. self care should be originated by you, not someone or something you see online. "the answer to your problem is never going to be someone else telling you what to do" - Dr Pooja Lakshmin, The real self care.

ideas of what to do for self care:

daily movement- going on a walk, doing some exercise, pilates, yoga are all great ways to boost moods and keep you productive.

meditation- meditation is a great way of embracing your inner self and keeping calm.

start a journal and journal everyday- journalism is a great way to achieve goals, reduce stress, and overall become a better version of yourself. ( i can give journal prompts is wanted ⊹˚. ♡)

read a good book!- i know this might sound a little nerdy or boring but reading is a great way to bust boredom and learn new things ( i can give book recommendation for different topics ⊹˚. ♡)

give yourself a positive affirmation everyday- this will improve your positive thoughts and self esteem.

do a face mask- find one for your skin type and put it on, they feel so nice and refreshing!

remember: "the answer to your problem is never going to be someone else telling you what to do"

thats all for now, thank you for reading!

no seriously though i cannot stress enough how a daily walk is not really a less healthy option than a gym membership with all the bells and whistles like if you're just trying to be healthy literally all the exercise you need to do is walk

i mentioned it there and i've mentioned it before but when my dad had his heart attack the doctors told him that all the walking he did for his job saved his life

and it was just walking. not running. not lifting weights. not even walking up and down stairs. not even pushing his limits further and further. he walked at a steady pace -- and not even a fast steady pace -- up and down sidelines to cover sports and he plateaued at however much that was per day on average and that's all he did.

and it saved his life. it made his heart healthy enough to withstand a heart attack and triple-bypass surgery and now sixteen+ years with no complications.

just walking.

you don't have to do ''exercise'' and you don't have to run and you don't need to feel like walking is somehow the weaker option or not good enough -- if your exercise goal is to improve your body's health, then walking is not only all you need to do but it's fantastic at accomplishing that goal.

#exercise #health #it's also great for your mental health to go on a walk #even if it's not feasible or safe to go on a walk outside of your house/apartment then just put on a podcast or something and walk #back and forth around the room #just walk. if you can walk then just walk. i promise you that it's enough.
