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

self care | Self care, Mindfulness, Mindfullness

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 writing the emotions I have, ones that are related to this or even emotions that are not even relevant to this pandemic at all. I've also tried to be consistent with drinking a cup of tea, I love tea and it's something that I like to have to calm my energy down. It's good to unwind, I even like having it while I'm writing. It sort of helps with my focus. The last thing that I've wanted to be consistent on is quite silly but it's animal crossing. I love that game so much, it's such a treat to be able to play it again, and playing it in the morning really helps me set the calm tone I want for the rest of the day.

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 ...

Overcoming Self Harm Trigger Warning

Before I begin to talk about everything that's happened with me lately i want to put this up in case anyone who is reading this needs to talk to someone... National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255 . I'm not exactly sure where to start with this post. I have a lot of racing thoughts as to what exactly i want to say. I'll start off by stating my age, i'm currently 20 i will be turning 21 in august. I'm very young, i'm aware of it but it doesn't mean my emotions and or feelings are not credible to this topic because i've dealt with a lot of shit from my childhood up until now and experiences always give a lasting impression to me at least of how you can shape yourself as a better person.. what do these experiences give you? whether it's bad or good.. do you make something out of it? I'm still trying to process that within myself. I have had a traumatic event happen in my life when i was very young... and till this date it is my bi...

My Big Secret

I've had a big secret that i've kept to myself for a long time and basically within last year and this year i've come forward and told a couple of people of what's happened to me. There's only two people that actually know everything about it which was my ex and also my health counselor. But i've told more people now about it... probably about 3 more people know about this as a general topic more than knowing each detail... but any progress that i made helped me a lot in the end. It's hard to even type this out but i was sexually abused as a child by someone that i consider close to me. I don't want to give out full details on anything at this moment. But i do want to use this space as something that i could both learn from as well as heal from. This whole blog has really shaped my view on what i've been wanting to do my entire life.. and mental health is such a big influence for me. I've always love learning about psychology and it's a...
