Things to distract you from feeling sad:
- make playlists of songs that make you happy
- eat some fruits and mix them in yogurt
- have a long cry if you’ve been holding everything in
- don’t go on your phone, brew some tea, sit in a warm comfortable spot and read a book
- don’t stay in bed too long
- write a list of things that make you excited or happy
- listen to music and go for a walk if it’s sunny
- watch a feel-good movie and drink a mug of hot chocolate
- reminisce good memories, they’re proof that life can be lovely
- spray some perfume
- read posts or quotes that inspire you
“To love a person is to see all of their magic, and to remind them of it when they have forgotten.”— (via purplebuddhaquotes)
im just out here trying to eat fruit and stay moisturized and drink water and recover from childhood trauma and protect my vibes, man
august
may it be a month of love and light. a month of learning to pick up your pieces and sort them with clear judgement; to let go or to re-embrace. a month of motivation and increased energy for the tasks that present themselves to you. a month of understanding where you are in life and opening up to receive what the universe has in store for you. a month that will lead you into far more poweful changes to come.
I owe it to myself to focus on myself
I researched my ancestry recently and learned that I come from a slave owner who fell in love with and married a slave. I had to process that revelation over time. I questioned what it meant and tried to put it into perspective. I now believe it’s why God blessed me with my twins. Male and female energy was able to coexist and grow in my blood for the first time. I pray that I am able to break the generational curses in my family and that my children will have less complicated lives. – Beyoncé, Vogue 2018
