What does self care look like for you?

Listening to music has always lifted my spirits and given me a chance to escape from the struggles in my life on a regular basis. I am so grateful for the incredible peace that comes into my heart, when I am taking care of myself and knowing I can do what is best for me as opposed the other way around. I know my life is not necessarily perfect all the time and I continue making an endless list of mistakes, but there is not an absolute problem with learning to do better. 

"Dance like nobody is watching."

Whenever I've had moments to dance around in my room and just let out my emotions--- always helps me feel a little more at ease with life. I have always loved being able to have something other than writing to express how I feel during any kind of situation. It always keeps me focused on what is most important in my life everyday and dancing has been a part of me since like forever---but if you ask me, I do not really get opportunities to do it as much as I'd like to. I am grateful for the ability to express how I feel without using any words and just pretending like no one else is around. 

Maintaining Boundaries (Part Two)

This is probably one of the hardest things for me as an individual with a learning disorder. It is definitely something I know has been endlessly mentioned in my blog posts from past months and yet I know there are opportunities to realize it needs to help me, rather than wear me down into pieces. I may not ever have the answers to all of my questions whenever it comes to this stuff and yet I know this will make an even bigger impact on me than anything else. I've continued to struggle with this aspect of my life for some time now and sometimes it is not anything I am able to keep in my control--but the more things pertain to what I can improve on everyday is a blessing. I know this is important for anyone not only me when it comes to their highly personal life-- it is a little extra hard to navigate because due w/ everyone's different body language it is more hard to look past. I am not any expert whenever it comes with stuff correlated back to my mental health and keeping this perspective of what it not crossing that line in the sand, etc.
