The Art of Being Gentle with Yourself
Throughout my journey with mental illness, what I have found to be a critical need in coming back into balance is something almost everyone on this planet has a problem with; gentleness. Gentleness with the thoughts and emotions that appear when a trigger button is pushed or just out of the blue, what do we mostly resort to in those moments? Fighting those thoughts and emotions, wanting to avoid them with distractions especially since they plague our minds so often and make us feel our absolute worst it's hard to remember what compassion is when in the depths of that pain.
