Promise to myself

💭In the mist of having two babies, working from home, being a wife, trying to take care of myself, trying to make time to do the things that I love. I haven’t been feel inspired or motivated. What do I do? Sometimes I get lost or I feel like I’m losing myself. Who am I now? Depression seems too easy to fall into. But I refuse to be a victim to depression. A victim to overthinking and self destructive ways to myself. I am who I am NOW. I am where I need to be NOW.

💭I have to make a consent effort to do small things that make me feel good and be present. That’s why decided to stay off certain social media platforms and show up for myself. Some days I’m very successful at my routine i created for myself and some days I’m not and that ok.

💭 I have been very motivated to create videos like I normally do and that ok too. Just get up and do something for myself is the goal regardless if it’s waking up early, meditating, exercising, creating videos, doing my hair, looking cute in the house.

... Read moreIn an ever-demanding world, it’s crucial to take a step back and reflect on our well-being. Balancing responsibilities like parenthood and work can lead to feelings of overwhelm. The struggle to maintain motivation and self-identity is relatable, especially for new mothers. Prioritizing mental health is essential; establishing a self-care routine can shield against depressive thoughts and self-doubt. Engaging in enjoyable activities, like creating content or simply practicing mindfulness, can contribute significantly to emotional wellness. Techniques such as meditation and setting aside time for hobbies provide a sense of fulfillment. Moreover, staying disconnected from social media may help clear mental clutter and foster a deeper connection with oneself. It's important to remember that not every day will feel productive, and that’s perfectly acceptable. Embracing the journey of self-improvement often involves celebrating small victories. Whether it’s waking up earlier to meditate or allowing oneself to enjoy a leisurely moment, these actions cultivate growth. The hashtags like #selflove, #workingonmyself, and #selflovejourney reflect a community dedicated to empowering one another in this shared experience. Following stories that resonate with personal struggles can inspire and create a sense of belonging. This evolving narrative of self-love and mental health advocacy underscores the importance of being gentle with oneself, acknowledging that transformation takes time and patience.

I’m done repeating the same cycles that keep me stuck. This time, I’m choosing growth even if it’s uncomfortable. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but it starts the moment you decide you deserve more. Don’t wait for another year to pass doing the same things that drain you. Make that promise to you
