It took me a long time to understand that the oppo

It took me a long time to understand that the opposite of depression isn’t happiness – it’s expression. Maybe you know that feeling too? That quiet disconnect, like part of you has been muted, hidden behind routines, roles, or even just the weight of holding it all together.For me, movement, creativity, and letting go have become lifelines. There’s a freedom in expression – in dancing out the mess, in creating something beautiful (or messy!), in letting the parts of us we’ve hidden have a voice again. When we’re expressing ourselves, we’re not performing; we’re giving life to the parts of us that depression quiets.I used to think healing was about feeling happy all the time, but now I see it’s about making space for my true self, every bit of her, to show up. So, if you’re holding something back, or if there’s a part of you longing to breathe – maybe this is your nudge to let it out. It doesn’t have to look perfect, and you don’t need to have it all figured out. Sometimes, just a tiny act of expression is enough to remind us we’re here, alive, and full of magic waiting to be seen.#HealingJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #EmotionalHealing #ExpressYourself #BreakTheStigma #YouAreNotAlone #CreativityForHealing #InnerPeace #FindYourVoice #HealingThroughArt #MentalHealthMatters #WellnessJourney #InspirationDaily #CreativeExpression #DancingThroughLife #LetItOut #MindBodySoul #VulnerabilityIsStrength #FeelToHeal #Authenticity

It makes sense that you’re avoiding pain and all

It makes sense that you’re avoiding pain and all of those feelings - It’s uncomfortable, and terrifying, right? That being said, avoiding it is like leaving a pot to boil over - eventually the pressure will spill out uncontrollably.Know that it’s completely normal to want to avoid pain. We’ve all been there—trying to stay busy, distract ourselves, or push it away. But avoiding it doesn’t make it go away, and it’s okay if you’re not ready to face it just yet. Healing is a process, and sometimes, just acknowledging that you’re struggling is the first brave step. Whenever you’re ready, know that you don’t have to go through it alone. 💛 Take your time; healing happens when you’re ready.If you’re ready to stop avoiding and start healing, drop a 🌱in the comments or DM me. Let’s take that brave first step together.#FeelToHeal #feelittohealit #EmotionalHealing #FaceYourPain #PersonalGrowth #HealingJourney #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheCycle #GrowthMindset #Mindfulness #MentalWellness #TherapyJourney #InnerPeace

The more I notice that fear of others judging, the more I realise it’s my own self-judgement perpetuating it all. The little voices in my head can be a bxtch at times but I notice theyre just trying to keep me safe, but that safety doesn’t serve me anymore. We often magnify our flaws in ways that no one else ever would, how can you be kinder to yourself today #selfjudgement #therapy #innercritic #personalgrowth

At least I do… Comparison often robs us of joy and self-compassion, pulling us into a cycle of inadequacy and frustration. When we compare ourselves to others, we’re measuring our worth against someone else’s highlight reel. I’m sure we all spend time doing the above - who else??#SelfAcceptance #realitycheck #letsbehonest

Just like trees shed their leaves in autumn, there

Just like trees shed their leaves in autumn, there are times when we need to let go of the parts of ourselves that no longer serve us. Whether it’s a habit, a belief, or even a relationship, holding on too tightly can prevent us from growing into the next season of our lives. It’s not always easy, but remember: letting go doesn’t mean losing something. It’s creating space for healing, transformation, and new beginnings. Trust that, just like the trees, you will bloom again.

Do you feel like whatever you do… it’s never e

Do you feel like whatever you do… it’s never enough?It’s common to feel like you’re not enough as you are, convincing yourself that love has to be earned through constant self-improvement. But this belief could be rooted in early experiences where love may have felt conditional. Chasing love from others can become a pattern, a way of seeking external validation to fill that inner void. What we often miss is that the love we crave begins with us. When you stop withholding love from yourself, you break that cycle of seeking and start to nurture the most important relationship — the one with you. You are enough, without needing to be ‘fixed.’. 💛Disclaimer: for educational and inspirational purposes only. This is not a substitute for professional therapy. If you’re struggling with deep-rooted feelings of unworthiness, it’s important to seek support from a qualified therapist. #TherapeuticInsight #SelfCompassion #InnerHealing #YouAreEnough #BreakTheCycle #RelationalTrauma #WorthyOfLove”
