How to take care of yourself mentally
I am constantly trying to renew my mind. It’s a daily battle. I get on the ol’ gram (aka. Instagram) and start to get inspired but then what quickly was an enjoyment suddenly plummets into a sharp spiral. I see a girl enjoying her best life, while I’m sitting here trying to scrape up the pennies I have to shop at the drugstore to buy the cheapest makeup item that at least barely even matches her perfect lipstick shade. I’m constantly scrolling and am bombarded with flawless happy photos of friends surrounding each other, toasting with champagne. And I’m by myself, alone, home from work with a top knot bun, sweaty after working an 11 and 1/2 hour shift at a nursery wiping messy noses, paint dotted on my apron and playdough stuck in the odd places of my shoe laces. I sob. I cry. And I get right back on the Gram. It’s a none-ending spiral. And I decided one day it needed to stop. I allow myself to follow up every now and then, checking out people who are uplifting and spiritual. I no longer compare myself, because as the verse says in the Bible that comparison is like an ugly monster.
