Credit to If you suffer with physical symptoms of anxiety (🙋🏼‍♀️ I used to be crippled by it with a panic disorder) these suggestions are super useful in my opinion and really do help ground you! My favorite is the running water on your hands. I also know alternating cool and warm water can help interrupt the spiraling 🌀 ⁣⁣

Credit to Defensiveness is a common psychological defense mechanism that people use when they feel they are under some kind of interpersonal threat. However, when it comes to your partnership dynamic, defensiveness will sabotage connection every time, and will only serve to escalate conflict and leave you both from feeling safe.

The negative impact of defensiveness extends beyond the destruction it can wreck on your relationships, defensiveness can keep you arrested in an emotionally immature version of yourself.

🛑: If you notice you feel defensive reading this post, then this post is speaking directly to you, and it’s an invitation to get curious about how to work on this part of yourself. It’s never our fault that as children we were taught to relate in unhealthy ways, but it is our responsibility as adults to heal these parts of ourselves. Defensiveness is often an archival remnant from our attachment history or a result of developmental trauma. We learn to relate this way because this is the way we were related to, or the way we witnessed others relating.

✅What’s your relationship to defensiveness? Has this been something you’ve had to work on?

Credit to Posted • This speaks regarding narcissists too because they are emotionally unavailable.

Posted • Softly saying this (with a lot of love) for the people in the back 😬

I want you to know that it is practically impossible to be emotionally invested in a relationship with someone who is not emotionally invested in themselves.

You can do it, but you’ll be settling for potential…and if you get honest with yourself, is that really what you desire?

I see you, and I know it’s hard, but I want you to know that there is a reality where your emotional needs CAN and WILL be met with love, acceptance and safety.

You deserve it. Keep saying yes to yourself. …

Credit to .lalitaa Which of these holds the utmost importance for you?

No relationship can be flawless. It demands effort from both individuals, and this effort may vary based on past experiences and love languages. Relationships are a continuous journey, evolving and transitioning as you navigate life's experiences togetl all, it takes the efforts of both partners to make it work.

Great relationships aren't defined by the absence of problems. Instead, they thrive because both individuals care deeply enough about each other to overcome challenges and make the relationship flourish.

By nurturing these elements in a relationship, love is enriched and flourishes, creating a strong, supportive and enduring connection.

I see love as the heartbeat of a relationship, but it's the daily acts of kindness, empathy, and unwavering support that keep it alive and thriving.

Over and out.

Credit to OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) and OCPD (Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder) may seem similar due to the shared “obsessive-compulsive” terminology, but they are fundamentally different.

OCD is an anxiety disorder where individuals experience distressing obsessions (intrusive thoughts) and engage in compulsions (repetitive behaviors) to alleviate the anxiety. Those with OCD find their symptoms unwanted and distressing (ego-dystonic).

In contrast, OCPD is a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive need for perfection, control, and adherence to strict rules. People with OCPD typically view these traits as integral to their identity and do not consider them problematic (ego-syntonic).

Credit to I love this post by ⁠— go follow her for more, she’s one of my favorites here on Instagram! Especially if we were raised in environments with this sort of behavior, we may feel more “capable” of tolerating it in our intimate relationships. But that doesn’t mean we have to.

Breaking the people-pleasing pattern means beginning to believe that we deserve more than the bare minimum. It means understanding reciprocity, mutuality, consideration, respect, and care as NEEDS⁠—not just wants.

You are the guardian of your own heart. YOU get to decide what’s allowed in and what’s not. Give yourself permission to stop gritting your teeth and white-knuckling through your most intimate relationships.

There are people out there who are ready to show up for you fully⁠—but if you’re constantly spending time in relationship with those who aren’t, you’ll never have the chance to meet them.

Credit to A loving reminder that taking care of your mental health does not have to be expensive or complicated. Here are some simple, yet underrated habits that can optimize your psychological health in the best way possible (i.e. with the highest ROI - Return of Investment)

Which one of these do you already do? Which ones do you want to focus on more?

The habits that I feel like I have successfully implemented into my routine are:
• good sleep because I can instantly feel I’m not cognitively and emotionally at my best when I have poor sleep
• movement - this really helps with the instant boost in my mood and just makes me feel accomplished and confident overall

Take care of your mind and body.
Love, Nawal ♥️

Credit to It's important to notice when to let go of a thought because our minds are constantly generating a stream of thoughts, and not all of them are helpful or productive.

Think of thoughts as passing clouds in the sky. Sometimes, we hook onto a thought, attaching ourselves to it emotionally and mentally. This can lead to rumination, anxiety, and stress. On the other hand, not hooking onto a thought means recognizing it without judgment and allowing it to pass by like clouds in the sky.

Letting go of unhelpful thoughts is crucial for several reasons:
1. Emotional well-being: It prevents unnecessary emotional distress and reduces anxiety associated with dwelling on negative or unproductive thoughts.

2. Decision-making: Clinging to a single thought can hinder objective decision-making. Letting go allows for a more balanced perspective.

3. Creativity: By releasing fixation on one thought, you free up mental space for new ideas and creative thinking.

4. Reduced stress: Not getting caught up in every thought that arises can lead to a calmer, more peaceful mind.

5. Improved focus: Learning to let go of distracting thoughts can enhance concentration and productivity.
