Do you actually love yourself… or just the version that has it all together?

Self-love isn’t about always being the best version of yourself.
Sometimes it’s saying no, even when it makes you feel guilty.
Sometimes it’s choosing rest, even when your brain tells you you haven’t earned it.

If this hit something in you, you’re not alone.
💛 Drop a heart if you’re learning to love all versions of you — even the messy ones.

Your body feels it before your brain explains it.

Science calls it interoception: your body’s way of telling you what your mind hasn’t caught up to yet.

Try this head-to-toe check-in to calm your system, regulate emotions, and reconnect.👇

🧠 Head racing? → Brain dump + breathe
😬 Jaw clenched? → Open wide + massage
🪨 Shoulders heavy? → Roll them + let go of the “shoulds”
💓 Chest tight? → Breathe in 4, hold 4, out 4
🌀 Stomach tense? → Sip something warm + ask what’s going on emotionally
🦶 Legs restless? → Walk, stretch, or ground down barefoot

In the 1960s, psychologist Martin Seligman gave dogs mild shocks.

🐶 Group A:
Dog gets a shock → presses a button → shock stops.
✅ Learns: “I can control this.”

🐶 Group B:
Dog gets a shock → no way to stop it.
❌ Learns: “Nothing I do works.”

Later, both dogs are placed in a box where they can easily escape the shock…

Group A escapes.
Group B stays put.

Group B had developed learned helplessness and gave up, even when freedom was right there.

👤 Just like us, when we’ve been hurt or let down too many times.

But here’s the truth:
💡 Learned helplessness is learned — and it can be unlearned.
With support, self-compassion, and small steps, you can reclaim your sense of control.

Your attention isn’t just watching life unfold—it’s shaping how you experience it emotionally, mentally, and physically.

Neuroscience reveals that our brains filter reality based on expectations—and we have the power to rewrite that filter.
Change your mindset, change your reality. 🧠✨

Ever feel anxious, stuck, or unsure what you’re doing with your life?
You’re not alone — and you’re not broken.
There’s a Japanese concept called Ikigai that helps you reconnect with purpose, even in the messiness of figuring it all out.
Start small. Follow what feels good.
Let meaning come to you one choice at a time 🌿

A lot of us feel “off” lately.
Tired, unmotivated, disconnected… like something’s missing.
And we think we need to fix ourselves.

But maybe what we actually need is a few real friends.

Not more followers.
Not more hustle.
Not more self-help books.

Just… safe spaces.
Honest convos.
People who really see us.

Because friendship isn’t just fun — it’s protection.
From burnout. From addiction. From feeling like you’re doing life alone.

We talk a lot about healing… but not enough about how up and down it can feel.
Some days feel like breakthroughs. Others feel like breakdowns. Both are valid.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

The dips don’t mean you’ve failed — they’re part of the process. You’re still on your way. Always.

Exercise + mates = free therapy (and questionable playlists)
10/10 would recommend for mental health 🤍
