✨ Something I’ve been struggling with lately is “too much” self care. Too much “treating myself”. I use quotations because that’s what I call it to make myself feel better - when in reality, it’s unhealthy. My anxiety and stress have been getting the better of me. I use food and material things as a comfort. On the bright side, at least I’m aware I’m doing these things. Admitting you have a problem is the first step, right? Self care isn’t binge eating or charging your feelings away on your credit card. I can make excuses all day of “but that’s how I was raised!” or “it’s not so bad, I can afford it” - but I know it’s a problem. I’m trying to fill this void inside, one that I’m not entirely sure why it’s there. I suppose that’s the mystery of anxiety. Self care is realizing there is a problem. Self care is taking steps to actually do things that make you feel better instead of worse. Taking baths, reading tarot cards, yoga, pole, exercise. Most of these things I’ve been neglecting due to work and just being constantly exhausted but that’s changing this week. I need to take care of myself. My health and well-being depend on it. How do you take care of yourself when you feel your anxiety rearing it’s ugly head? Any tips and tricks are appreciated ☺️ I will also be seeking out a therapist to see here in Vegas. I saw one regularly in Chicago but have yet to find one here. Therapy helped me a lot - hopefully this is the sign someone needs to reach out and find help! ✨ #selfcare #selflove #wellnessjourney #wellnessblogger #bingeeatingrecovery #bingeeating #recovery #takecareofyourself #health #happiness #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/BqqmuXBFKw4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jexdzg9ueptu -- source link
