#sundaysareforselfcare and #SELFCAREISTHEBESTCARE. what are you doing to heal your #spiritualwellbeing? do you #speakhealing in your self-talk? is #spiritualhealing a #divineresponsibility in the harmony of your #wellbeing? do you take time to #clearoutyourmentalspace and #declutteryourthoughts? what steps are you taking to #MAKESELFCAREAPRIORITY? when was the last time you took time to #stretchyourbody? do you have the patience for #selfobservation? do you practice the #divineduty of exploring all that you are? if #selflove is a manifestation, when are you going to #manifestyourdreams and bury those #emotionalscars? when was the last time you took time to #spendtimewiththestars? for on the road to self-discovery #thepath is both near and far, sometimes you just gotta reach for the stars, get your feet on the ground, look at the sky and ask: who am i?! if #tothineownselfbetrue resounds with you, why's it so hard to #behonestwithyourtherapist yet so easy to live a lie? why do you keep forgetting to #bekindtoyourself? why the constant search for love when you have yet to love yourself? on the road to recovery, why's #thejourneywithin off-grid along the path? what steps are you taking to become fully present and get past your past? do you have supportive rituals? are you surrounded by supportive individuals? what self-care strides are you taking to #practicehealing? how long are you gonna let that self-fulfilling prophecy keep you from embracing #healingprinciples? if we are to #normalizetherapy, when are you gonna designate time to discover what your trauma is truly revealing? how long must your broken trust keep you from breaking through the glass ceiling? -Stevie #mypoemsarenotpoems / #thebookofquestions • #selfcareisadivineresponsibility revisited https://www.instagram.com/p/CgIrHfegw5b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#speakhealing / #traumaawarecare #Repost @rikki.e.lee ・・・ When we outsource our worth we outsource our power. The oppressor wants to tell you that in order to be free, in order to be worthy, in order to be valuable and maintain self worth you must comply by shrinking yourself to fit with their confines. . Our oppression can start early in childhood with compliance. . It can be snuffed out when our creativity and imagination become “bad”. . It can be to please a domineering parent. . It can be out of abandonment or fear of abandonment. . And of course, it can be dictated by family structures, culture and society. . No matter which way oppression comes our way we rectify this by learning how to illuminate from the inside out. . It is in our own illumination that our freedom is no longer dependent on the approval of the oppression. It is in our own illumination that we can liberate ourselves over and over again. 📸 @traumaawarecare https://www.instagram.com/p/CNFVzOohGJi/?igshid=1j6ufdp29z5wd

#blackmentalhealthmatters / #speakhealing Repost @curly_therapist ・・・ ⁣☀Gentle Reminder ⠀ The trauma you experienced was not your fault. I hope you truly believe this. ・・・ #vibewise: Sometimes I just wanna see my sisters and brothers heal. If you're reading this, I just want you to know that #YOUARENOTALONETHIS. Although #traumaispersonal, The #collectivetrauma is real. Through the pain and despair, We all share the #collectivegrief. While #survivingamerica, We've become too familiar with bottling up our feelings. What's it gonna take for #theBlackManWomanandChild to blow the lid off the #mentalhealthstigma And pour into one another with #healingandpeace? How long before we teach #selflove and #traumahealing? If the Universe is constantly working in our favor, Why don't we greet our trepidations with "What is this revealing?" As silent cries don't leave tears on cheeks, pretending your #traumaticexperience didn't happen will not erase the #psychologicalscars. I want you to know, #YOUREXPERIENCEMATTERS. Those that love you #HONORYOUREXPERIENCE And where #loveispresent, There's never a need to hide your #emotionalscars. Why rehash the past when all ye have is #thismomentintime? I hope you know the trauma you went through is not your fault, #trustyourintuition, don't believe every thought that comes to mind. Although I know a part of you died the day you were traumatized, I hope you realize there's people out there that #loveallthatyouare. Why self-medicate when ye could meditate? Why drink away the pain when you could pour your heart out? How long before we #normalizetherapy?! Why suffer in silence when ye can #SPEAKYOURTRUTH? O, how long must we fail to #seektherapy?! How long before you #LOVEyourself like you love everyone else? Should you ever fall back into a dark place, May the warmth of thine smile remind thee to #stayclosetopeoplewhofeellikesunlight. If nothing else, #mypoemsarenotpoems, Should you ever forget what to do with all that #healingenergy, May these lines I write remind thee of thine #loveandlight. -Stevie | Collective Trauma https://www.instagram.com/p/CFkpLwWB-yg/?igshid=1pz2emdbkib2q

And never let ugly or hateful words come from your mouth, but instead let your words become beautiful gifts that encourage others; do this by speaking words of grace to help them. Ephesians 4:29 TPT https://bible.com/bible/1849/eph.4.29.TPT The power of words. I think sometimes we forget how powerful words can be. Words can heal or destroy. Suicide, bullying, low self esteem, tearing down your mate or those you supposedly love... Just be more thoughtful before you say a thing. #DailyWord #speaklove #speakgrace #speakhealing
