Exactly, just bumbling along and sometimes stinging but recognizing it has more to do with them than you. ❤️

Recent revelation. #lightbulbmoment #innerwisdom #perspective #mindfulness #deepthoughts
The irony is that the less persona I take things, the more empathy I seem to have.

Sometimes that peaceful spot is loud enough to drown out that overthinking without drowning you. #mindfulness #innerpeace #naturehelps

I get that… maybe that storm can provide more perspective on what’s most important and how we want our next steps to count.

Defeat often comes before success. Those hardships and setbacks only strengthen our resolve and resilience in the pursuit of our goals. Each one offers valuable lessons that ultimately pave the way to triumph. Remember, the only way to lose is to stop chasing your dreams.

True help has rarely come from the masses—it comes from that one stranger, friend, mentor, or teacher who sees not just your need, but the potential you’ve always had and can surpass. #perspective #deepthoughts #hope #nevergiveup

I can relate! It is so hard to calm the mind sometimes so we keep it busy and it’s happy but still stressed at the same time! 🫠 Don’t give up on deep breathing whether it’s free time or not!

Do you want a foolproof plan for your future or do you want a fulfilling life? Because the latter may not fit into your existing long-term plan. Plans change. Try adjusting timelines from ‘forever’ to ‘in the next year’ and see what happens. #perspective #lifewisdom #mindsetshift

It takes a special kind of soul to stay curious and want to continue to discover new things about themselves and the world. I’m glad you’re one of them! 💛 I totally get that feeling of loneliness with certain people too.

This was a very impactful film. A deep look into human power dynamics that was just as influential as the science itself

Such valuable insights. I totally share your concern. We’re not reaching for higher level thinking anymore, we’re just coping with one attention grabbing content to the other.

There’s a kind of loneliness from not having ppl to do things with; then there’s a kind of loneliness from the boredom of no longer feeling fulfilled by those things at all. If you’re feeling the latter, know that that is your Higher Self seeking greater purpose. Don’t be afraid to level up #levelup

Beautiful. When we choose to love again, we can experience how it heals

Yes, forcing things takes energy and often not the kind that makes us feel good! The word ‘order’ makes me think ‘how things should be’ but it also makes me think of ‘chaos’ and is that also ‘meant to be’? I like to think of the flow of things bc a flow can be coherent and chaotic at the same time.

My current inner peace is not wanting anything in this moment to change, but accepting everything that does. It’s finding the stillness in the movement. #innerpeace #meditation #mindset #perspective

It’s amazing how life finds its meaning when it’s allowed to take a different path. That which feels unknown does not have to feel uncertain. #perspective #innerwisdom #courage #deepthoughts #quotes

May you find your present moments worthy of the attention they deserve. May you find your present moments worthy of receiving what you need to learn. May you find your present moments worthy of releasing what you need in order to grow. #blessing #mentalhealth #soulful #higherself #personalgrowth

Don't let stress trick you into thinking that everything has to solved right away. Don't rush, just breathe. It will all be sorted out eventually. #stress #mentalhealth #relax #life #mentalclarity #motivation #selfimprovement

Glad I’m not the only one who has thought about this! I’m expressive but also an introvert. Privacy is precious. The thoughts that need no external validation are also precious because not everyone would understand it anyway. Yet the ones who do, that’s a rare and cherished thing.

Let’s not make therapy about turning everything into a problem. Sometimes what’s most important is to experience the beauty in sharing a story and receiving it fully. #therapy #perspective #compassion

That’s profound and takes a deep self-awareness to come to that realization. Such a good point of striking that balance of contentment and self-improvement.

Totally. And that doesn’t leave you helpless. On the contrary, you could initiate a conversation to clear up misunderstandings which could change the course of that relationship for the better OR you realize that conversation wasn’t going to change anything except you moving on.

Yes! Especially for ppl who really like the feeling of being productive, all kinds of therapies will give you that high of satisfaction. It’s hard to tell sometimes when it’s exactly the right time to stop but then the hindsight eventually comes and clears it up.. hopefully 🙃

I feel so validated, not even close to self-deprecating. It’s more like ‘Why can’t you keep up?’ 🧐🤔😛 And I love it when others tell me stories this way!

You can click on the Ad options and ask not to show it anymore. Sometimes the algorithm gets it right, other times I’m like ‘why would you ever think I’d be interested in this content’ but then glad the algorithm doesn’t know everything about me!

There’s a difference between being grateful for what you have, and feeling like all you have are the leftovers. #perspective #selfworth

You don’t owe anyone your true emotions. You don’t owe anyone the truth of how you really feel. But it sure feels good to be emotionally honest to yourself, and for yourself, instead of keeping it in and thinking this is just how it has to be. #perspective #deepthoughts #authenticity

Pride is its own kind of blindness,for which the cure is not sight because recognizing the pride doesn’t eradicate it. Letting go of pride is the willingness to see beyond the dichotomy of ‘I’m right, you’re wrong’ #mentalhealth #selfdevelopment #higherself #innerwisdom #spiritualgrowth #perspective

Burnout hurts everyone in healthcare. The most caring healthcare staff who go above & beyond are rare and tend of burn out first. It has to go back to community, feeling like we all matter. This becomes challenging when we feel isolated on so many levels, making bedside interactions feel cold.

Yes, we need NPs and PAs to help physicians w/ the hierarchy of tasks for each patient’s case. They assist in making triage function efficiently. Physicians can’t be in 10 different places at once. It’s long working hours, lack of mental health supports & hustle culture that leads to burnout

Good translate might automatically translate the page for you in your browser if you adjust your settlings, or you could use Google Translate and the camera function to take a picture of the screen and it will translate it. Not ideal but some workable ways around it!

Like a silhouette, your inner strength is always there, even when you can't see all the details. Take time to reflect. Stand tall in your own light - your unique shape is what makes you, you. Connect with others. Practice self-care. #silhouette #kitsune #fox #yokai #digitalart #mentalhealth

Agreed. Headline grab. I don’t think anyone thought it would get better. And yet, those who genuinely care will continue to try to make little steps to shrink their individual ecological footprint even if we know it won’t get better.

Capability has to follow will. People say ‘But I don’t know how’ but the real question starts with ‘Do you even want to learn?’ Because many times the honest answer is ‘Not really’. When there’s a will, there’s a way to build capability. #motivation #growthmindset #mentalhealth #selfdevelopment

We also live in a world where we’ve become so individualistic that our only sense of community nowadays is through popularity of personal branding.

Many parents are afraid of their kids’ behaviour and don’t reach out for support, let alone admit that they don’t feel they have all the tools for healthy parenting. Healthy parenting starts w/ clear values, boundaries, and willingness to teach rather than simply demand/deny things from their kids.

My first reaction: my stomach dropped imagining the immense grief this bride’s family and groom must be feeling. In the face of loss, vengeance wouldn’t be my first reaction bc it couldn’t compare to the amount of love and pain pouring out as grief. The love is all I’d desperately want to hold onto.

Is it just me or did I count half a dozen questions being asked? Lol what is that one question exactly? 🤔

I appreciate the honesty! 🙌 I also had to look it up the first time. I was born in North America and was raised differently but I know many 2nd gen Asians really struggle with it. That level of shame is brutal.
