7 Things To Do If You're Feeling Depressed.......

Nobody said life would be easy girl....In fact, it can get incredibly hard...like to the point where you get pretty discouraged and just want to give up on everything...Trust me, I know the feeling...Anyway, here's some things you can do to stay calm, grounded, and focused...

  1. Take A Mental Health Day🙇🏽‍♀️- That's right, take an off day from school or work to focus on yourself. On this particular day, you can turn your phone off, lay in bed  and eat pizza and ice cream, pig out, turn your phone off, put it on DND, and just chill.🙅🏽📱
  2. Take A Moment to BREATHE😚- So what if you can't take the day off. Often times when we feel shitty, we experience an anxiety attack, like everything is going wrong at one time, and there no way it can be stopped. Listen, breathe in, breathe out. Repeat it. Take a step back, play a game on your phone, drink some water, and then go back to work.😌😅😂
  3. Be Childish👧🏽- After a long day of being an adult, you gotta admit it will feel good to just be a kid again. Ok, so don't call your ex and tell him that his refrigerator is running. However, you can take some time out to watch some of your favorite kid movies. I personally love the movies Inside Out, Up, Despicable Me and Lion King. If you don't feel like watching a movie, feel free to get lost in a coloring book. They do sell ADULT coloring books everywhere now including Walmart, Target, and numerous dollar stores. 🖍🎨
  4. Listen to Music🔊- I promise there's a song for everything you're feeling. Whether you're depressed because something went wrong such as a relationship, a job, or a you're just not feeling your best, turn up your headphones and embrace it. Get them feelings off and let that hurt go ma lol.  🎧 🎶 
  5. Write📕- Nothing is better than getting your feelings out in the open in a journal or just period. Write it out, everything you're feeling. Then burn it. You read it right, burn that shit and release those feelings. I promise you will feel so much better. ✏️ 📝 
  6. Bathe!!!! 🚿 - Whether your in the shower or taking a bath, make the process relaxing as possible. Light some candles, get a bath bomb or your favorite shower scrub, play some Sade', Erykah Badu, or Anita Baker and just let your mind wonder. 🛀 
  7. Talk to Your Friends👭- It's ok to talk to your friends about how your feeling, go out for drinks with them, go to the movies, out to eat, or bowling. Laugh and enjoy yourself. Being around people you enjoy will ease your mind.👫
Remember, your mental health is important and it does matter. If these tips are not working for you, always be brave enough to reach out to some caring professionals to help with whatever you're feeling:

The Art of Just Taking A Leap of Faith...

You know, it's amazing how we work our whole lives just to earn a paycheck to pay bills. Have you ever just really paid attention to the life you're at the moment? It's crazy. We work our whole lives for nothing. We slave away at a desk all day and have nothing to show for it except a bad back, extra pounds, and a low tolerance for patience. IS THIS THE AMERICAN DREAM??? Not being able to live life on your own terms? I hate it here lol. It's definitely more to life than that. Well, guess what love? We don't have to deal with any of it. Now granted, we do need a job to buy nice pretty shit that keeps feeling and looking exquisite. However, if we just have to work, why not do it how we want? Why not live life how it should be lived, UNAPOLOGETICALLY! With No Regrets! If it's time to change something, why not just go ahead and change it? I bet you're like, "Nah Bih, I can't just decide to get up and change my life." My response is WHY THE FUCK NOT...

Putting Broken Pieces Back Together🤞🏽

 You ever looked in the mirror at yourself and just think "Wow I really went through some fucked up shit" or "Did that really happen?" "Why did that happen?" or more so, "Why did that happen to me?" Going through some traumatic shit will really fuck you up like that. Like to the point that you’re looking in the mirror and you see how badly life has bruised you up. You got scars, war wounds, and bruises that just hasn’t healed yet. It’s probably because you’re experiencing pain after pain and loss after loss. You probably had a rough childhood where your parents were never there. Your mom and dad probably wanted you gone You could’ve been raped, molested, or touched by someone, or even a family member. You could’ve been bullied throughout your whole life and never found out or developed skills to fit in. You’re probably like me. You’re fed up and tired. And hell who wouldn’t t be? Going through shit will fuck you up to a point where you’ll end up ...

How Holding On to Toxic People Can Hinder Your Blessings.....♥️🤦🏽‍♂️🙅🏽🤔

It's Ok To Let People GO... If you don't learn anything else from me, KNOW THIS, IT IS OK TO LET PEOPLE GO, ☝🏽Sometimes we tend to hold on to people because of our relationship with them. This can be with significant others, platonic friends, friends with benefits or family. Unfortunately, I believe sometimes we can put up with other people's bullshit because of our history or emotions towards them.😪 I hate to say it, but we can be extremely blind to shit. We keep running to them in our attempt to help them but we are only hurting ourselves along the way.  You cant keep tagging along with that dude who only calls you when he's bored or who's only fucking with you because of your head game or street rank.🙄 You can't keep hanging out with your family when they're only running their mouths to their friends or your enemies about whatever the fuck you got going. You can't keep running towards the dude who claims he doesn't want a relationship but le...
