You might feel weak, broken and lost but that does not mean that you are. You need to realise that you are not your feelings and that you are not your thoughts. Your worth is not defined by the way you experience emotions or by the amount of times that you feel like failing. None of these negative feelings and none of these dark thoughts are a reflection of who you are, my love. You are so much more - and remember that all of those bad times will pass and fluctuate; your worth will not.
Do not listen to your brain when it tells you that you are being too much, that people would be better off with someone else, that you are too much of a mess for anyone to handle. Your thoughts are lying to you, because even on your worst days, you are not being too much and you are not too hard to handle, my love. You may feel these emotions intensely and think that they are the truth but they are not. Your head portrays the situation so much more dramatic than it actually is; you are still worthy, still beautiful and there is still so much good left in you. People would not be better off with someone else, they need you. We need you. I just wanted to let you know that you are loved even if you are convinced that everything about you is unlovable. You are loved.
A lot of us are feeling stuck right now. We have love, passion, rage, and joy swelling within our hearts – as if at the brink of eruption. These feelings are so alive yet they can not breathe. We feel the urge to release these emotions yet we are unsure of how to do so. We want to create but our mind goes numb. We want to move but we don’t know where. We feel a call but we don’t know how to answer.
If you are in this place, I encourage you to just be present. Do not be frustrated by the uncertainty. Instead, be content in the stillness and the fullness of these emotions. You will move when you are ready.

This is some good stuff!
We all have an attachment style that impacts how we are in relationships with family, friends, romantic partners, and others. Exploring attachment styles and providing support to make the necessary changes is one of my first places I intervene in my practice with clients.
Our attachment style is formed in our early developmental years by our caretakers. It can be fluid throughout the years as you’re impacted by life experiences. Attachment styles aren’t fixed but they can take a lot of inner work and healthy relationships to change.
Most people tend to be a mixture of them all ☺️
Hi everyone, things are difficult and often I’ve found myself wondering what I can do to pass my time. So here are a few activities you can do indoors and ways to take care of yourselves.
Please remember to take care of yourself. Eat, sleep and breathe. These 3 things are of utmost importance. It’s okay if you don’t have the energy or the capacity to do any of the things in this list, don’t feel bad for that. But do take care of your mental and physical health the best you can.
It is okay to want to leave your therapist for a new one. Doing so doesn’t make you bad or mean you are insulting them or their practice.
If a therapist makes you feel uncomfortable, unheard, invisible, scared, reminds you too much of an abuser, talks over you, unhelpful, unprofessional, does not take your issues or disorder seriously, takes everything too seriously, or insulted, you are allowed to say you don’t want to be with them.
This may be a result of their practice or maybe it is just a trauma / personal issue, either way, it is okay to say that the match is not good.
Finding a therapist that makes you feel comfortable and heard is important.
Therapy is not easy, and there is a margin of discomfort expected, but if you do not feel respected, heard, and safe, you do not have to say with them
It is okay to change therapists
When it comes to witchcraft, I don’t really believe in conjuring fireballs and making people float. But you know that feeling you get when you feel connected to the earth? When you feel called to heal yourself? When you fall into a trance-like state and feel the universe inside you and out of you all at once?
That’s what real magick is, at least to me. If you know, you KNOW
Twilight
Light the candle so that the crystal glows. Call the person or animal or name the place to be healed.
Say, “Pain and sorrow, sickness and distress, be transformed and blessed by the power of this crystal and this flame.”
Place the crystal on the table, holding your hands over it but not quite touching it. Repeat the words softly and mesmerically.
When the power buzzes through your fingers, hold your hands vertically, palms outward, waist height, and say the words again. Ask any favorite archangel to help you.
Return the hand you do not write with to the crystal and with the other hand push toward the healing target.
When you feel the power diminishing, change hands until your feel the power of the crystal slowing down and your energies ebbing. The healing is now complete.
Wash the crystal in running water and leave it to dry naturally.

Ohhhh hell yeah
Jujur, aku muak dengan pembahasan kriteria laki-laki shalih ataupun perempuan shalihah, tanpa melihat sisi lain dari setiap personal. You know, setiap dari kita ini hina, kita rendah, kita tak punya daya apabila bukan atas kehendakNya.
Namun, bukankah setiap dari kita berhak diberi ruang untuk bertumbuh? Bukankah setiap dari kita pantas untuk diberi kesempatan? Bukankah setiap dari kita berhak untuk melakukan usaha terbaiknya, meski tak selalu dinilai baik di mata manusia? Seperti yang kita tahu, Allah Maha Mengetahui.
Tidak ada yang mutlak shalih atau shalihah kecuali yang sudah dijamin surga, sebab hati itu yataqallab (terus berbolak-balik). Setiap orang punya kekurangan masing-masing, dan setiap orang punya kesempatan untuk terus berbenah selama nafas belum sampai ujung tenggorokan.

it’s okay to cry. it’s okay to feel sad, angry or confused. it’s okay to let yourself feel. healing isn’t “you must feel good all the time to make progress”. it’s letting yourself feel what is there to feel but not let it overcome you. healing is a messy and lonely process, healing is never easy, but it is worth it. remember that.
