#HealingJourney #SelfCare #MentalHealthAwareness
Hey everyone! 🌟 Let’s dive into this thought-provoking question: Is healing a proper goal? 🤔
– It’s totally valid to prioritize your mental health and well-being above traditional “grand” goals.
– Taking time to heal from past traumas and work on yourself can lead to long-term fulfillment and growth.
– Slowing down and focusing on therapy, self-help, and creative activities can be incredibly beneficial for inner peace and self-discovery.
So, what do you all think? Is it okay to take a step back and prioritize healing? What are some ways you practice self-care and self-love in your own life? 💖 Let’s share our experiences and support each other on our healing journeys!
Honestly yes. a couple years ago after being fed up with similar things you mentioned that I felt were seriously effecting me I decided to make an effort to find a therapist and get some shit sorted. For reference Im 25, started at 23.
I paid out of pocket because my insurance wouldnt cover it and it was one of the best choices I made for my brain. Therapy helped me, my relationships, and continues to do so. Life is filled with ups and downs but therapy can give you the tools to work through existing problems and help the future you.
I think you have no excuse to not go. You mention your salary instantly. At our young age our problems are miniscule but give them 10 years and will start to seriously effect us and others. Invest in empathy fuck crypto.
Of course its ok to slow down life is long and if its painful then figure how to get through it especially if you have the assets. Most men dont even consider this instead its continue to live on and be a piece of shit
The only thing ive heard is it can be a challenge to find a therapist sometimes I got really lucky and connected well with mine who had a practice I agreed with and learned a lot from, that being said everyone is different
Long winded but yes, its a helluva lot better than not thats for sure
edit : u also pretty much answered your own questions in ur post, go to therapy lol
Yes, healing is a proper goal so long as you define the perimeters of how you’ll achieve healing, and what healing actually means/looks like.
Yes. Absolutely. If you don’t take care of yourself, you will eventually crash and burn.
Healing does not mean doing nothing. Healing means taking action to get better, which is what you are planning to do. So do it!
The best successes in life come from a healthy and strong mind that performs very well. It doesn’t sound like you have that right now.
Until you are a mentally healthy person, you will never reach your potential.
Edit:
I did not see exercise as part of your healing journey.
Exercise should absolutely be part of your healing journey. It should be a priority.
You should include both weight lifting and cardiovascular workouts (swimming/biking/running). The benefits to your body and mind are undeniable. The research is very clear.
It should be something you do almost every day unless you are sick or fatigued. Don’t push yourself too hard.
I didn’t think exercise was very important until I took physiology classes at university. They completely changed my views on health and wellness.
I think it depends on many things, so in the end you have to decide if the risk is worth it.
I took a year off after my degree, but in my case I had so much anxiety I struggled to go to the supermarket. In the end it has been two years, because I was in a very rough spot, and I’m still not working (I have savings).
It’s easy to slow down too much, I have missed having a close friend to motivate me and don’t let time pass. I know of other friend that took a year off and after that he came back to studying and I think he is doing pretty well.
