Sometimes we need the reminder that our story is ours alone.💙💜💙
It doesn’t need to be explained or understood by everyone..only honored by us.

Sending love to anyone who needs this today.

DBT : Wise Mind Skill.
Life's challenges require us to draw on both emotion and reason. Relying too much on just one of these creates an imbalanced perspective. In dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), wise mind balances emotion and reason, helping us make healthy decisions and lead a fulfilling life.

This Wise Mind: DBT skill worksheet describes wise mind and how it differs from emotion and reasonable minds. Emotion mind is when we use feelings alone to determine our decisions and behavior, whereas reasonable mind is when we use only logic, ignoring our feelings. With wise mind, we recognize and respect our feelings while responding to them in a rational way.

Please never forget
How brave it is
To continue to show up
In a story
that looks so
Different than what
You thought it’d be.

Please never forget
How brave it is
To dream up next chapters
While honoring the ones
That closed so painfully.

Please never forget
How brave it is,
To continue
To explore next pages
Despite feeling
Fear and anxiety.

Please never forget
How brave it is,
To hope and dream
Amidst the uncertainty.

If you’re feeling , remember you’re not alone and support is available. Try reaching out to a friend or family member and take small steps like going for a walk, journaling, enjoy a hobby or listening to music. Most importantly, consider talking to a healthcare provider—depression is treatable, and help can make a difference. Take care of yourself and don’t hesitate to ask for help. 🩷🩵💜
