Taking care of our mental health means being mindful of our thoughts and how we speak to ourselves. Instead of focusing on negative thoughts, let's try shifting our mindset with these positive affirmations: "I wish they wanted me." 👉 "I choose people that choose me back." "I feel so unwanted." 👉 "Am I in the right place?" "I’m not moving fast enough." 👉 "Slow growth is still growth. I’ll get there at my own pace." "They’ll think I’m making excuses." 👉 "I will say what I need to regardless of their perception." "Why are they like that?" 👉 "I can’t control others’ actions. I can only control my reaction." "I didn’t do enough today." 👉 "All days are not the same. I did what I could and that’s enough." "I am not having a good day." 👉 "Not every day is going to be great, but I’ll do one small thing to make it better." "I am a disappointment to everyone." 👉 "Satisfying others' version of my life is not my responsibility." Remember, self-love isn't about being perfect; it's about accepting ourselves as we are and growing from there. #SelfLoveSunday #SelfCareSunday #Affirmations

🎶 I'm looking for a man in finance. Trust fund. 6'5". Blue eyes. Finance.🎶 We’ve all heard the viral sound, but let’s take a moment to reflect on what truly brings us happiness and stability. While a 6'5" man in finance might sound appealing, relying on self-care and taking charge of your mental health can lead to lasting, positive changes. Check out our comparison to see the real benefits of self-care over seeking external validation. PRACTICING SELF-CARE ACTIVITIES: • Improves emotional stability by reducing stress and anxiety. • Boosts self-esteem by encouraging self-love and acceptance. • Enhances relationships by promoting healthy communication. • Increases productivity by improving focus and concentration. • Promotes physical health by encouraging regular exercise and healthy eating. • Fosters personal growth by supporting lifelong learning and development. A MAN IN FINANCE (6'5", blue eyes, trust fund): • Financial stress due to being worried about market fluctuations and a pressure to maintain a high-earning lifestyle. • Work-life imbalance with long hours at the office. • Emotionally unavailable and possible difficulty expressing feelings. • Superficially focused on material wealth and status. • High expectations and possibly unrealistic standards for self and others. • Risk of burnout in a high-stress environment with increased risk of mental health issues. (Please note: This is just a playful stereotype about men in finance and is meant as a joke. Everyone deserves love and care regardless of their profession!) #ThursdayThoughts #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare
