Nerd Church - Some Reminders To Myself (And Maybe You, Too)

 

'Some Reminders To Myself (And Maybe You, Too)' with a pretty purple-y sky background


It's been a rough week, mental-health-wise.

So I figured I needed to remind myself of a few things - and hopefully some of them will be helpful reminders to you, too.


Disclaimer time: I am not any kind of mental health, medical, or psychological professional. I'm a chick with a blog.


  • Your worth is not dependent on how hard you work

  • Your worth is not dependent on how much you do or do not get done in a day

  • It's OK to be tired, even when you think you 'shouldn't' be - the world is a tiring place, and Depression and Anxiety are tiring enough all by themselves

  • You are not useless; you are not worthless

  • You are not a failure; you are not pathetic

  • Other people's milestones do not apply to you, it doesn't matter if you haven't met them

  • Your capacity to love and be loved is not affected by the number of relationships you've had - or terminal-feeling lack thereof

  • You have mental health problems in a global pandemic while climate change sinks in and there's war in Europe - you're an actual bada**

  • Yes, you're an actual bada**

  • Your worth is not dependent on how much money you have

  • Your worth is not dependent on your level of perceived attractiveness

  • ...And you probably look better than you think you do

  • Age is a number - nothing less, nothing more

  • Mental illness is not your fault







So that's some stuff I needed to tell myself! Hopefully it helped some other people out there too.
Do you find yourself having to teach yourself the same lessons over and over?

  2. Sorry you've had a rough week. I hope writing these affirmations out helped you to feel better. I definitely needed to hear these. I'm off work right now and I find it so hard to just rest. I always start beating myself up for not being productive.
