my therapist advised, "learn to calm your own storm instead of venting to others. it may feel therapeutic to let it all out, but you reinforce negative thoughts. it’s no one’s job but yours to pull yourself out of your problems. journal, meditate, exercise,and release." felt that
lately, i’ve been including this in my prayer: "if I'm not meant to have it, lord, please remove the desire from my heart to want it, and help me find peace in its absence." 🙏🏾
whatever you do, pray for the ability to see your own sins, your own hypocrisy, and your own shortcomings. never lose sight of that. never get so carried away pointing fingers that you forget that you too, have excesses that need tending.
saw a quote that said, “anger is the part of you that loves you the most. it shows up when you're being mistreated, ignored or disrespected. it's a signal - calling you to step away from what's harming you.
whether it's a room, a job, a relationship or an old version of yourself, anger let's you know when it's time to walk away. if you learn to listen to it, to trust it and make it your ally, it won’t need to shout so loudly."
