really embracing compliments/having a compliment journal!
yes i have a compliment journal HAHA i am just so difficult on myself and whenever people compliment me i think they’re lying/just saying it to be kind but i’ve been writing them down lately in a journal i have to celebrate that even if they are Lying (which people never are btw and i’m working on believing that) they at least took the time to notice u to formulate this compliment holding space for being noticed and allowing yourself to be appreciated!

*holds your finger* 🤏 I need to do this, I was just talking about this in therapy today, how I immediately try to disagree with a compliment a receive. 2025 is the year of agreeing and accepting your compliments

Journaling my heart out
I’ve had a diary/journal ever since I was in 2nd grade (shoutouts to Amelia’s Notebook for sparking something in me). My journal is one of my most prized possessions. It’s my confidante, my source of inspiration, my friend. Journaling has always allowed me to unapologetically express myself. I’ve learned to embrace my voice through writing. I love when I read back on past journal entries and be like, ‘Damn I wrote this?! This is poetry.’

journaling
I've realized that I have a hard time accomplishing the goals I want to because I don't actually verbalize them. Journaling has been a great way to record my thoughts in a concrete space, process feelings, and conceptualize goals. I HIGHLY recommend https://www.fivehundredwordsaday.com/. Feels so accomplishing and you can reflect on previous entries to see how far you've come.

happiness journaling
still new to this but i just decorated the cover of this little notebook to write down one thing each day that made me happy. been an avid journal-er for a while but i’ve found i tend to write to untangle negative emotions and i want to remember the good things too! plus now i’m actively searching for and remembering happy things throughout my day to write down :)

showering in the pitch dark
1) i don’t need to be on the lookout for bugs. not my problem 2) it almost is like replicating the feeling of the womb? 3) i am just constantly so overstimulated so like instead having to Seek stimulation (via the shower water, reaching around for my shampoo and stuff) is really nice

gatekeeping. said what i said!
and it’s not because i feel superior to others by keeping a prized possession to myself but because i prize it enough to preserve its experience to only be mine when so much of what i do is shared?
