Just to say Hope All are having a really lovely day. 😍

During depression,
I avoided my quiet corner,
feeling unworthy.
But that's when I needed it most.
Creating it for myself
reminded me of my self-worth.
You are worthy of peace.

The gift of quiet is powerful.
If the world at home is too loud,
invest in earplugs
or noise-canceling headphones.
Sometimes, silence is golden.
And quiet is vital for your tiny sanctuary.

Bring nature indoors!
A small plant,
a seashell,
or fresh flowers
can ground you.
My calm corner is by a window,
The view connects me to the outside world.
How will you connect?

Want to feel instantly better?
Watch kitten (or panda) videos!
What you see changes how you feel.
It’s not a cure,
But maybe it can get you through the next hour.
Curate your calm corner with visuals that uplift your spirit.

The daily fight with a mental illness is exhausting.
Acknowledge how much work it takes
just to be you every day.
You are a warrior,
and even warriors need to rest. ⚔️

True friendship and love aren't about keeping score.
Some days you give more,
some days you receive more.
Focus on being present and getting well.
Your contribution is simply being you.

A therapist once helped me see that rest wasn't a personal failing;
it was a necessary part of fighting an illness.
Your rest is productive.
Your rest is part of your recovery.

That feeling that you’re a burden?
It’s your mind playing tricks on you.
Let's call it what it is—
a symptom—
so we can challenge it.
You have nothing to feel guilty for.

Friday Mantra: The Power of Connection

To Our Writers, Poets, Bloggers, Photographers, Artists, Teachers, Advocates of Justice/Injustice, and Child Advocates.

Thank You to "Skircle" for its creation....July 2025

Repeat after me:
Self-care is not selfish.
It's essential.
Filling your own cup allows you to be there for others later.
Prioritize your mental well-being without an ounce of guilt.
(I know, easier said than done, but let's try)
