Positivity Post #2

Hello! It's been a while since my last positivity post. This time, I'd like to share a few words of wisdom that I personally find helpful when going through hard times. I hope that this brings some positivity into your life! :)

Always remember that you know who you are better than anyone else. Nobody can decide for you how you feel.

On dark, cloudy days, you can't see the sun because it's covered. That doesn't mean that the sun's no longer there. Eventually you'll see the sun again. Remember this when you feel hopeless. It may seem like things aren't going to get better and you'll never be happy again, but you will be. Just because you can't see a way for things to get better, that doesn't mean that there isn't a way for things to get better.

Do you feel broken? When you are 'broken' the parts of you can be put back together, in a different way than before. You are constantly changing and growing. When you feel broken, remember that this makes room for change and growth.

If you feel like a bad person and you don't like being this way, then you're probably not a bad person. A bad person wouldn't feel bad for not being a 'good' person.

You may feel weak, but considering all you've been through and survived, you're actually very strong!

That's all for this post, but there's more on the way soon. I'm going to make positivity posts regularly from now on, as I think these kinds of posts are important for those going through tough times. It makes me happy to know that this post could help someone feel a little better. Thank you for reading this post. Goodbye until next time! ~Jay

I'm going to start a new series of posts with positive messages, for anyone who might need them. I feel it's important to spread positivity, especially when life can get pretty rough!

If you're someone who struggles with 'ordinary' things such as taking showers regularly, eating regular meals, brushing your hair, etc, you're not weird. You're not 'just lazy'. You're not the only one struggling with this - you're not alone!

If you managed to make yourself do the things you normally struggle with, I'm so proud of you! I know how difficult it can be to do that. Well done :)

If you tried to make yourself do something you usually struggle with but didn't succeed, I'm still proud of you! You tried and that's what matters! Trying is the first step towards doing the thing! You're making progress, which is wonderful.

If you had managed to start brushing your teeth/hair regularly, getting better sleep, showering regularly, etc, but have now relapsed, don't feel bad about it! I'm in the same position myself right now with sleeping, so you're not alone! It doesn't mean you've failed. If you can do it once, you can do it again! :)

Please remember to make sure you've eaten enough, that you've drank enough water and that you've taken any medications you need :) Thank you for reading and goodbye until next time! ~Jay
