Coping After A Breakup

Image result for coping after breakup

Grieving throughout a process that has happened before feels like hell. I'm sure a lot of people can relate. As of now, of course memories still come from time to time but i've been coping in a healthy way about this. I've been writing in my journal everyday, that was something i did before the break up, and it's something i want to continue because i talked to my therapist about it and thats how a habit forms. This is a healthy habit i want to continue and although some days will be more difficult than others in terms of what to write about, it'll be fine because not everything has to be so deep and personal, a simple check in will work. I've been reading more as well as playing a game i really enjoy which is the telltale's walking dead. I've made my own reading journal and made it look cute and i'm going to write down the books i read within each month and give sort of a review of what i read. I'm motivated to do some boxing/ kickboxing... i want to become more active overall and play some tennis with my old coworkers and my supervisor. We have a punching bag at my home but we don't necessarily have space to hang it up in the garage so we are waiting to clear out some space and then hopefully soon i'll be able to just have fun while working out with that punching bag. I've also just been busy with work, and a lot of what work does for me is distract myself of some of the burdens i may carry. I focus on something else and eventually the thing that i worry about fades away naturally. Plus i may have a chance to work somewhere that i think i would actually enjoy working at, if i have the chance which i'm hoping i will. Seems like this new chapter for me was well needed, and it shows that i've done all i can and i have no regrets about it, if someone doesn't value you for what you are and what you've done... then just walk away from it, someone else will definitely appreciate it when it comes by.

JOURNAL PROMPT #1: WHAT IS ONE CONSISTENT PRACTICE YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THROUGH THIS QUARANTINE?

Hello everyone, I wanted to start a new project in this time that I believe would help the most to reach others with. I want to make my own journal prompts for people to view and to hopefully write to. I would love to see any responses if anyone feels comfortable to share, there is no pressure at all, just love. I've always had a comfort in writing and the connectedness I feel when I write something not only for others to view by for myself to reflect on. I hope that throughout these weekly journal prompts it will ease a bit of the quarantine tension and unite us through writing. With each journal prompt I make I will be responding to my own prompt to give others a view of what I personally think at the time.  My Response: The one consistent practice that I've been trying to do is at least write once a day. Whether that be in my planner or if I just write out a whole letter to someone to give later on. I want to be able to keep my spirits high by at least writin...

Learning To Be Assertive

I've always been more on the passive side, and i think it's due to my upbringing. Each experience i've experienced has leaned me to become more passive rather than aggressive. I love my sensitivity and i love the strengths i have with being a bit more passive,  but there's definitely a line that needs to be drawn to where no one could also take advantage of me. So just recently i was confronted with the idea of being more assertive as it would help out in my career but it'd also help out in my overall daily life. I need to be able to step back and analyze my conscious decisions of always saying yes to people. I want to stop that initial thought of saying yes just because i'd like to help out, i know my intentions are good and what my truest form is, i'm a helper, naturally i like to exist and participate with anything i can. I would like to even mention that at times i can switch and become this leader, an advocate who wants to speak out for things i...

Coping With Isolation

I hope everyone's doing well with all that is going on. I'm sure one day we will all be able to engage in the lives we once had before any of this happened. But for now all that we can do is keep ourselves afloat and balanced. How do you cope with isolation? How are these times treating you? Are you doing stuff you love? Stuff you wished you had more time for and now that you do are you trying to take advantage of it? One of my loves has always been writing because it's my form of expression, I think sometimes written words convey a lot more of my emotions than when I say them out loud. And throughout this time I've been at least trying to incorporate writing, and I've started to write letters to my friends. My friend reached out to me recently and asked if I wanted her to write me a letter, and honestly words can't describe just how giddy I felt in that moment. Of course I would agree to it, why haven't I done this sooner? Why are we not connecting like ...
