I’ve been awake much later from drowning underwater and you were not there to pull me out. . . Just noticed a mistake in the first slide: this (it’s supposed to be these but nvm...) [ prompts used: ‘fading away’ and ‘blue song’ by @evanviolets #violetsprompts ] . . . Say hi to my new layout!!!! Bear with me as I learn and experiment with it. 🙂 How I came up with it was like how you try to correct something that is ruined by your own mistake, and you failed and it turned out to be something that’s actually okay too. Hahaha. Not sure if you get what I mean anyway I still hope you like it. . . . #poetsandwriters #writingprompts #wordsmatter #honestlyworded #feelingblue #loveinpoetry #youmademyheartflutter #poemsdaily #artlixirpoetry #untwineme #heartofpoets #poetrylovers #sabrinagazali #writers #artistsoninstagram #poetsonig - @sabrinagazali on Instagram
THIS IS OUR WHY 🌿 This whole business all started when we’re challenging ourselves to find areas in our house where we can eliminate waste and swap out a reusable item where we would usually use a disposable option. 🍃 Like you, we were also once overwhelmed when we were just starting on our low/zero waste practice. So, we’ve decided to start it with our kitchen first. ✨ . One of the items that most (if not ALL) of us use a lot without even thinking about it would be paper towels or as we often call it, tissue papers. 👀 Need something to wipe quickly? Tissue papers. Clean a baby’s face? Tissue paper. Sanitary purposes? Tissue paper. And while it may seem like just a small fraction, you can really go through a lot in an average day without thinking about it. 💁🏻♀️ . Like sure we have a pile of rug under our sink but I can’t use it as a fryer oil absorber, right? We can’t use it as something to wipe our face with as those are for tackling dirtier kitchen jobs. That’s where a roll of unpaper towels came in. We havent had tissue papers in our house for a few years now and we dont see any reason why it needs to have a comeback 😂 It definitely wont. . That’s the story behind this all, the WHY behind our brand, the reason why we do what we do. ✨💚 --- Choose reusable alternatives, one swap at a time. ✨🌿💚 . . . . . . #unpapertowels #unpapertowel #reusabletowel #reusablewipes #reusabletowels #reusablewipe #buhayzerowaste #waronwaste #ayokongplastic #consciousconsumer ##zerowasteproducts #plasticfree #plasticsucks #ecofriendly #earthfriendly #lowwaste #consciousconsumer #choosetoreuse #lifewithoutplastic #zerowaste #lowwastelifestyle #zerowastelifestyle #packagefree #lowwasteshop #zerowasteliving - @unpapertowels on Instagram

Now that I have officially moved to Arizona, let’s address what it is that I moved here for! 🌱 Naturopathic medicine utilizes unique therapies that stimulate one’s own body to heal itself. It is a highly individualized, patient-centered form of healthcare that is rooted in science. 🌱 Naturopathic doctors (NDs) will typically spend more time with their patients than a conventional allopathic physician. Naturopathic doctors take the time to address their patients holistically. When treating a patient, the ND’s first goal is to find and treat the root cause of the dis•ease. They consider the relationship between mind, body, and spirit, as well as look at the effects of diet, lifestyle, and environment on their patient’s health. 🌱 Once they have identified the root cause, they address the issue according to the naturopathic therapeutic order. Naturopathic therapeutic order begins with the least invasive course of treatment to the most invasive/risky. 🌱 Once a patient has overcome any acute condition or illness, the primary focus will be on prevention. Prevention is truly the foundation and first step of creating and maintaining health. Naturopathic doctors spend time educating and empowering their patients to be the conductors of their own health through prevention. 🌱 I hope this helps answer some of the questions out there about naturopathic medicine! More information will be posted, so don’t forget to follow me! If you have any questions, leave a comment down below😊 - @lillisnatural.life on Instagram
Tomorrow is world suicide prevention day. Suicide can still be a taboo subject but nearly everyone had been affected or knows someone who has been affected by suicide. It very important that we talk about this and have as much knowledge about this as we can, through evidence based information based on good quality research and through the stories of people with experience. I’m proud to have contributed this drawing for @afspnational last year for their real convo campaign which aimed to open up conversation about mental health so that people feel supported and to reduce isolation and hopelessness. We can often be scared to ask about mental health in case it makes things worse, feels awkward or we just don’t know what to say. And we can often feel scared to talk about our own mental health as it seems shameful, we are worried it may affect the other Person or what they think of us (amongst other reasons). This drawing was part of the campaign and aimed to help give some tips and ideas to help people feel more confident in being able to open these conversations up and offer a safe space when people need it. If you are affected by these issues then there is good information about what you can do and the help available on @afsp (USA) @papyrus_uk (UK) and @samaritanscharity which is available in most countries. I would also advise reading @mattzhaig words, for the hope that life will not always feel this way and that things can get better. - @thepsychologymum on Instagram
Unfortunately, our society often paints suicide the same way they would a prison sentence—a permanent situation that brands an individual. Its important to know that suicidal ideation should not be used to judge or label; it is a sign that a friend/family member/spouse/partner is suffering deeply and needs treatment. Myths like these can prevent people from getting the help they need. Take a moment to read these sticky notes so that you can be a better support system to your loved ones who may be dealing with suicidal thoughts.

Those in power want us to see resistance as both a joke and a failure, as something that everyone should fear, as embodied by a definite leader who is forced to tragically give up their life for their cause. There is no joy or liberation in how Hollywood portrays revolution. But it’s far from what’s actually taking place on the ground. In fact, rebellion is happening everywhere, everyday, when people: care for each other, provide for each other, defend each other from the violence of the oppressor, build collective spaces and commit to mutually supporting each other, reclaim land and resources stolen by colonization and capitalism together, & so many other ways. Mainstream media is only allowed to depict a distorted view of resistance because those in power don’t want people to understand that other ways of existing are already in motion - showing that a wholly different world is possible. They say that anarchy is chaos - but its state capitalism that must maintain a level of normalized, constant chaos in order to retain power: through the legal and carceral system, wage labor, borders, and other hierarchies of violence. We are taught to fear what exists beyond state power and law as total chaos without recognizing that state institutions are inherently violent. This doesnt mean that anarchists are opposed to using force to fight the state, for in order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none” - Stokely Carmichael. Defend & support Black rebellion. Push back on narratives that flatten the many different forms and facets of resistance. Challenge the outside agitator rhetoric that seeks to delegitimize the righteous destruction of capitalist and anti-Black monuments and institutions. - @thecomradecloset on Instagram

There are many reasons why that feeling of dread can hang over you. The ones listed in this post are just two common ones. The key to changing that feeling comes from the willingness to look deeply into why it is there. Being honest with yourself about what triggers that feeling gives us the foundation from which we can plan positive change. It doesn’t make change easy, but it does mean that any effort you put into that change is well-informed and thought out. Blocking out those feelings with distraction is short-term and has to be repeated every time it arises. Listening to feelings and responding to them by meeting our needs, is the more difficult but more life-changing option. . . . . #Psychologist #Anxiety #Depression #MentalHealth #Motivation #MentalHealthAwareness #SundayBlues #anxious #depressed #therapy #therapist #sad #dread #sundayvibes #dailymotivation #howtofeelbetter #mood #feelbetter #recovery #trauma #selfhelp #selfhealing #selfcompassion #emotion #dealingwithemotion #emotionregulation #lifeskills #lifetips - @drjuliesmith on Instagram

Cis-hetero-white supremacy, colonialism, and modern capitalism are long-term ecological processes disproportionately harming Black and Brown bodies and the planet. Western Earth and environmental science does not - and as it functions, cannot - address these processes. The Critical Ecology Lab aims to deepen our understanding of how these processes shaped society and the planet by giving voice to questions/actions grounded in a more expansive understanding of global change, called critical ecology. The environmental problems (i.e., climate change) that have resulted from various industrial and extractive activities have been building over time, and disproportionately impact Black, Indigenous, & People of Color (BIPOC) communities. Climate change is now a mainstream problem because those harms have begun to impact white middle class people, while continuing to disproportionately harm BIPOC. Other impacts, in relation to and as a result of systemic murder for natural resource extraction (land seizure, genocide, chattel slavery), deleterious chemical exposure (modern environmental justice, socioeconomic vulnerability to climate change, and forced participation in ecologically harmful economic systems (neoliberal capitalism), have been ignored, excluded, deprioritized, and externalized for centuries (see: A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None, Kathryn Yusoff). Contemporary western science only emphasizes study of Earth and environmental change in the most recent and most distant time scales (last century or millions of years; the blue triangle). These time scales ignore global change as it relates to BIPOC (the rest of the triangle), and offer a back door for scientists to escape responsibility for these processes. BIPOC buffer white people from experiencing environmental harms and support the existence of the blue triangle (see: Racism is Killing the Planet, Hop Hopkins). Critical ecology is an entire paradigm in science that remains unexplored, and through it, researchers can do better. Both human bodies and the planet are at risk. ...written by Kunal Palawat (@soilmonologues) and Dr. Suzanne Pierre (@rabbi_vole) * Traducción al español próximamente * - @critical_ecology on Instagram

As a mother to four daughters, Dzintra’s concern for the world she was leaving behind for her children was a growing concern that led her not only to using modern cloth nappies, but to starting her own business promoting cloth nappies and other eco-friendly products to Australian mums. Fluff Mail gives Dzintra an excuse to receive hundreds of nappies every week without a judgy look from her husband in return – a situation many cloth loving mums could only dream. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Join us at the link in bio for the story behind Fluff Mail.

Many different medications can affect your menstrual cycle. We take a closer look at the ones that can affect cycle regularity, period pain & stop #periods altogether. 💊Oral contraceptive pills: The ‘pill’ usually has a positive effect & can make the cycle regular & periods less heavy & painful. Hence its often used as a therapeutic intervention for conditions such as endometriosis, heavy or painful periods. Occasionally taking the pill can lead to break-through-bleeding between periods. 💊Aspirin in theory can increase the amount of bleeding during a period, but in practice this effect is minimal. It is also not particularly effective at reducing period pain. 💊Ibuprofen is excellent for reducing period-related pain & does not affect the amount of bleeding. Antipsychotic & anti-depressant medication can sometimes lead to absent periods or infrequent periods with longer a menstrual cycle (eg 35 days instead of 21 days for). 💊Weight loss pills: A sudden change in weight can also affect the cycle. Diet pills are known to cause irregular periods. A body fat percentage less than 17% can also affect it & lead to a lack of periods. Chemotherapy can lead to premature menopause & hence no periods, but sometimes the ovaries can recover & periods can resume normally. Your doctor will often recommend that you see a fertility specialist before starting chemotherapy if you wish to preserve your fertility. Steroids such as prednisolone can affect periods and make them irregular, prolonged & sometimes heavier - usually after long-term use of steroids. Other forms of contraceptives: The non-hormonal intrauterine devices (IUD, Copper-T) can lead to bleeding between periods whereas hormonal IUDs (Mirena or Jaydess) secrete a small amount of progesterone within the uterine cavity and will often lead to lighter and less painful periods. Sometimes the periods are completely blocked. Irregular bleeding in the first few months is also a common side effect. The injection pill, implant & minipill all contain progesterone & often lead to absence of periods. Irregular unpredictable bleeding is a known side-effect. #medication #menstrualcycle #menstruration #womenshealth #gynae - @londongynaecology on Instagram
Drowning can happen to any family. It’s quick, and it’s silent. Never—even for a moment—leave young children alone or in the care of another child while in or near bathtubs, pools, spas, wading pools, irrigation ditches, ponds, or other standing water. During swim times, designate a “Water Watcher” – an adult who will pay constant attention to children in the water. Keep young children or children who are not strong swimmers always within arm’s length. . . . . #Drowning #DrowningPrevention #WaterSafety #HealthyChildren #Parents #Parent #Parenthood #Parenting #InstaParenting #ParentingTips #labordayweekend - @healthychildrenaap on Instagram
Thank you @revelatori for reminding us why we might not be functioning as opimally as we expect ourselves to at the moment. Whatever youre struggling with today, please remember you are human. Try and make sure you are meeting some of your basic needs today for good food and drink, a chat with someone who makes you feel connected, rest or simply a walk nearby to feel the wind in your hair. Its ok not to expect too much of ourselves at the moment. Be compassionate to yourself. #survivalmode #hierarchyofneeds #newnormal #goodenoughparenting #parentinginapandemic #selfcare #connectionnotperfection #goodenough #selfcompassion - @parenthoodinmind on Instagram
I am holding this in mind with my kids a lot at the moment. Their sense of safety in the world has been disrupted by the events of this year.• • They are really resistant to doing things they used to enjoy.• • This is also helpful to hold in mind with ourselves. Instead of castigating ourselves for big feelings and reactions we can instead wonder what has threatened our sense of safety.• • Mothering feels much harder to me in the face of a lot of big feelings and when my children seem to be struggling, to really be present requires a lot of self soothing for me. It requires that I turn up in my adult, unencumbered by stories of what I have done wrong, and be there for them and take any necessary action. • If you were a parentified child you may also struggle, there is trauma around caregiving when we took the adult role too young. Acknowledging this and noticing the impact is important, and it can still be really hard in the present to actually do the caregiving role. Does this resonate with you? • • • • - @psychotherapy_mum on Instagram

Creating a new experience or a new way of life for ourselves requires us to leave behind certain familiar parts.⠀ ⠀ This includes thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and sometimes even relationships that have become far too comfortable. ⠀ ⠀ To others, it may look like you are 100% committed to your healing in the endless pursuit of alternative therapies and quest to perfect your diet & lifestyle, and you may even believe this yourself.⠀ ⠀ 👉🏼But ask yourself, “Do I really see myself getting better?”⠀ ⠀ Because if you were to get better, life as you know it would change. And change is scary to our brains. ⠀ ⠀ 🧠This is why it’s so important to have a daily practice devoted to cultivating the new version of yourself.⠀ ⠀ By creating new habits, we can escape the subconscious programming that continues to produce the same results day after day.⠀ ⠀ It was Louise Hay who said, “If you accept a self-limiting belief, then it will become a truth for you.”⠀ ⠀ In Vital-Side, we flip the script. If you visualize and repeatedly reinforce self-expanding beliefs, THAT will become your truth.⠀ ⠀ How does this work❓⠀ ⠀ Think of it this way: your brain doesn’t contain memories, it *is* memories.⠀ ⠀ Memories form when our neurons respond to outside stimuli and compounds to create the neural wiring in our brains.⠀ ⠀ By continuing to think the same thoughts and engage in the same behaviors day in and day out, we continue to strengthen those connections.⠀ ⠀ Through consciously creating new thoughts and habits that illicit new, positive emotions, we can begin to form neural pathways that are aligned with what we want most for ourselves—a life of vitality.⠀ ⠀ 💎By teaching my clients to overcome the fear of change using scientifically-proven brain-changing techniques, they can discover the path to sustainable, long-term healing.⠀ ⠀ If I did it, you can too.✨⠀ ⠀ I made a video just for you, so you can learn more about my healing journey and how I recovered.

Are you doing all 3 of these things? I feel like if one of them is missing, this whole PCOS healing journey takes a lot longer and is a lot messier. For a long time I really didnt understand MY body. I was trying medicines that helped lower testosterone, when I didnt even have high testosterone. And I was feeling super bummed when these medicines did nothing. Getting proper testing and taking the results to a naturopath helped SO much. And tracking my symptoms helped me to realise when supplements were or werent working. Another thing that gets me is prioritising my health. I honestly prioritise my health almost all the time. But life is life and sometimes things get away from you. I use my PCOS Journal to help me prioritise my health but there were periods of time last year where I didnt use my journal and boy did my health suffer. It wasnt just that my journal helps me understand whats going on with my body, but even just the simple act of dedicating that 5 minutes where I fill it in is SO important for me. It keeps me connected to my body and that has been essential for my healing. I go into my whole journey from diagnosis to motherhood and how these 3 essential things have helped me, in my new blog post. Link in my bio.

SAVE this post for some snack/meal inspiration, depending on what trimester you’re in! DYK that different nutrients are important during different trimesters? as baby goes through different developmental changes in utero, the “ingredients” you need for this type of development shift 🤯🤓 Let’s be clear: all of these nutrients are important throughout your entire pregnancy (and tbh, before that...and after that…😘). but this graphic helps you see that prenatal nutrition is actually pretty dynamic. hopefully this helps you appreciate how I’d focus on getting the core prenatal nutrients (protein, iron, calcium, folate, choline...the list goes on) as often as you can throughout your entire pregnancy. consistency is queen!!! ...but if you’re looking for some inspiration per trimester (sometimes we get into ruts), this shows you what to emphasize. use these focus foods to give you meal & snack ideas! that might be avocado toast in the #firsttrimester, yogurt parfaits in the #secondtrimester, and grilled salmon in the #thirdtrimester #postpartum #prenatalvitamin #prenatalvitamins #pregnancynutritionist #pregnancydietitian #prenataleats #pregorexia #prenataldiet #mumtobe #momtobe #firsttimemom #momoftwins #nondietpregnancy #pregnancyzone #prenatalsupplements #prenataleducation - @dietitian4women on Instagram

No, you cannot rephrase your way out of a pandemic. Challenging things happen and we have to acknowledge them. And yet...I do have the power to rephrase my story. And that’s powerful. I’ve been thinking a lot about the stories I tell myself. The “I’m a failure” narrative, the “I don’t know what I’m doing” narrative, the “Why does my heart keep breaking” narrative. The way I tell my story matters. That’s why rephrasing can be such a powerful tool. It helps me to detach from my story and frame things differently. To look at my future with curiosity, wonder and hope. “Stubborn gladness” is a phrase I love from @elizabeth_gilbert_writer. In a world that gives us so much reason to feel at a loss, we must still look for ways to stubbornly hope. To rephrase our challenges into opportunities and remain curious, kind and hopeful. #rephrase #mentalhealthawareness #emotionalhealth #elizabethgilbert #watercolor #mentalhealthmatters #opportunity #gratitude #gratitudepractice - @rockinruksi on Instagram
Disclaimer: no victims of abuse ask, consent, or sign up for abuse. Also abuse is not an overnight matter. Physical and emotional abuse usually builds over time, and there are a lot of biological, psychological, even social factors in how/why people are in abusive relationships. And one of these factors in why we may have subconsciously choose someone who we would end up in an unhappy relationship with is our basic survival instinct. From our own actual needs in life (maybe you were financially struggling), unresolved family of origin wounds (attachment and other traumas), and how abuse works including trauma bonding, there was something about why/how we “choose” these partners in the first place. I used to beat up on myself when I realized I was in an unhealthy marriage, I spiraled for hours trying to analyze how and why I “picked” (parenthesis because so much of this is unconscious when you haven’t done your inner work), that man and feeling like it was my fault so I should try to make it work, or felt ashamed for being in that situation in the first place. It’s not your fault, there’s so many factors in how and why you’re in this situation. But you can start to heal and get the clarity you need to move forward.

i am a simple person and i live a simple life lol this one’s not much of a creative piece, it’s more of a reminder for myself before I give birth and have to stay at home to take care of my little one! - @j.g.thrower on Instagram
day 16!! lowkey very happy with how this turned out. the main quote i found is on swipe, but basically took the idea from greek mythology, in which throwing the apple was ~symbolic~ of declaring love, and catching it was showing acceptance of that love. so this is kind of about that feeling of vulnerability, like you’re in mid air waiting for something? idk listen, it had to be pretentious! it’s what i do! 🍎🍏 - @fluorishes on Instagram

Perspective is EVERYTHING, especially at a time like this. We can’t change our circumstances but we CAN control how we perceive and respond to them. If you catch yourself having a negative mindset, stop and think about how you can turn that into a positive.

Being able to withstand whatever life throws your way is a superpower (especially in 2020!). How well you face obstacles and how easily you bounce back from setbacks is determined, in part, by your resilience — a.k.a. your psychological strength. Feel like youre not one of those people who shrugs things off easily? Heres the good news: Resilience, or “grit,” is not something you’re either born with or without. You can develop the ability to become more resilient and mentally strong. Tap the link in bio to read more on how to build up your own mental strength — and if you want to dive deeper, join our 10-Day Immunity Bootcamp, a self-paced program that includes products and advice to strengthen your resilience, both mental and physical, during these trying times.

Slides read: Confused about Executive Function? (Youre not alone.) Even the so-called experts dont agree about what executive function is (or whether it even exists at all). Russell Barkley, for example, who literally wrote the book on executive function, rejects most definitions and tests of EF. In his book Executive Functions: What They Are, How They Work, and Why They Evolved, Barkley insists that the only measure of EF are the deficits they produce in real life. Barkley says, Oh! Look how awful their lives are! Look at their emotional, social, economic, occupational, and moral deficits! (Yes, this is how he talks about ADHD people.) There must be something terribly wrong with their brains! Lets call it Executive Function! (Because there couldnt possibly be other reasons that people function so poorly in this society...) Barkley insists that EF is an evolutionary adaptation, yet he defines it in modern economic terms: “Humans daily engage in reciprocal exchange and must frequently and rapidly evaluate the costs-benefits to them of doing so as each party to the transaction goes about pursuing their actions toward their future goals, no matter whether the exchange involves money, goods, or services. This is the field of economics, broadly defined. Yet where does this widespread human goal-directed activity ever enter into modern views of EF? (Barkley 21) According to Barkleys logic, poverty and mass incarceration could also be explained by brain defects such as EF. (Rather than, you know, looking to societal defects such as industrial capitalism, white supremacy, misogyny, settler colonialism, homo/transphobia, etc etc etc.) If you would like to follow and support my work on Executive Function, please consider supporting my Patreon!

⭐️Reframing On the topic of adjustment and readjustment we also need to talk about reframing our thinking. It’s important to sometimes take a step back and think about our thinking. Sounds like a silly way to say that but it is what it is! How many times in a day do you catch yourself telling yourself a narrative about your day, the people around you, your life, or your circumstances? And how many of those thoughts are actually becoming your reality? These are important questions to ask because we have the ability to choose to reframe our thinking patterns. I’ve listed out a couple of common ones that we have all thought and we may all be thinking especially during this year. Learning how to reframe the thought is a great way to validate your initial thought and also allow yourself some compassion and patience. I don’t practice the idea of getting rid of any particular thoughts completely, rather to acknowledge that they are there and it is normal – while also working on how we can create those thoughts to be more productive. What are your opinions/insights about reframing? What is challenging or helpful?

Overtired baby? Let’s be honest, we’ve all been there and often, it’s not pleasant!! Have you heard yourself saying that your little one ‘just isn’t tired’ or they’re always ‘fighting sleep’?

This was a huge piece in my healing journey- understanding my patterns and behaviors. To understand that, I reflected a lot on my parents’ patterns and my family dynamics. It was eye opening to see how much I was unconsciously repeating. • We repeat these patterns unconsciously, and until we choose to heal our past trauma, the patterns get passed down and we continue to suffer. • Ways to change patterns: ✨ Reflect on your family patterns. ✨Self-reflect on your own behaviors and patterns: Are you repeating unhealthy patterns? Can you find new ways to respond? ✨Heal the underlying trauma: Therapy is the best route. Therapy can help you realize you’re worthy of healing. It helps you resolve your unmet needs and trauma . ✨Be patient with yourself.. . . . . . . #browngirltrauma #traumarecovery #traumahealing #dysfunctionalfamily #innerchild #innerchildhealing #boundaries #familyrules #trauma #unhealthyrelationships #familytherapy #selfhealers #toxicparents #toxicrelationships #southasian #southasianmentalhealth #southasiamentalhealth #browngirls #childrenofimmigrants #immigrantparents #mentalhealth #mentalhealthrecovery #selfcare #healthyboundaries #breakthecycle #enmeshment #therapy #desi #therapist #selfhealerscircle - @browngirltrauma on Instagram

Autoimmune diseases are on the rise. New research found the number of individuals in the U.S. with antinuclear antibodies (ANA), a marker of autoimmunity, nearly doubled over the past 25 years. And women bear an unequal burden, accounting for 75 percent of cases. Click the link in our bio to access our free guide on how you can start taking control of your autoimmune condition today. You’ll learn common symptoms of autoimmune diseases, important markers to monitor through testing, and advice on nutrition, supplements, exercise, and other lifestyle recommendations to decrease inflammation. A conventional approach to treating autoimmunity typically involves immunosuppressant drugs that can have other negative side effects, but at Parsley Health, we rely on a personalized, holistic approach that can minimize or eliminate the need for prescription medication. We have worked with thousands of members with autoimmune disease-- such as celiac disease, hashimoto’s thyroiditis, grave’s disease, and lupus-- to help them decrease the inflammation that triggers symptoms. #autoimmuneawareness #invisibleillness #autoimmunedisease #autoimmunewarrior - @parsleyhealth on Instagram

This was the biggest “a-hah” of my career⠀ ⠀ Everything leads back to attracting ideal clients in my chair. When I realized that, the fear of growing my career and biz faded.⠀ ⠀ When it was time to:⠀ ⠀ 💗go out on my own⠀ 💗raise my prices⠀ 💗move to a new city⠀ 💗stop working weekends⠀ 💗 enforce new policies ⠀ ⠀ I knew I’d be ok, because I could get clients in my chair no problem.⠀ ⠀ When you realize that your career isn’t a linear path but a cyclical journey its not so scary and you don’t view starting over as a failure.⠀ ⠀ Getting new clients is part of the entire journey.⠀ ⠀ So I’m curious, If all your clients left tomorrow, would you know how to get new ones in your chair, and the right kind? - @dawnbradleyhair on Instagram

We go deep into #infidelity on this weeks episode of #DearTherapists #podcast. @guywinch and I have both worked with many couples whove repaired the relationship after an affair and have truly gone on to thrive. Its absolutely do-able. And one of the basic ingredients you need for that is for the person who has been doing the cheating has to take responsibility and really work tirelessly to rebuild trust, to reconnect and sit with the pain and deeply engage. But here, theres nothing that indicates to us any kind of willingness like that on the part of Elenas husband. So what to do? Listen to how we help Elena break through her shield of denial, acknowledge her own resistance to change, start prioritizing her own needs, and stop falling prey to her husbands manipulation and gaslighting.

Nature boosts our immune system... 💫 . Without natural exposure to pathogens in the world, our immune system stops learning how to respond to foreign invaders. The best medicine is EXPOSURE therapy. Over-sterilization of our internal and external environment does not protect us long-term; it is a band-aid on a much bigger issue and will not lead to a robust immune function. 😷 . What’s worse, sheltering inside will weaken your immune system further by decreasing your ability to synthesize Vitamin D from natural sunlight. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in the our ability to fight infections by modulating both innate and adaptive immune responses. ☀️ .

I have 3 money savings hacks. 1. 10 second Rule Purchase. I know you see that beautiful outfit on the mannequin, take 10 seconds to think if you really need, and don’t convince yourself either, I know how we can get. Be rational and see if it fits your budget and if it’s needed at the time. 2. Say NOOOOO to late fees. Put reminders on your phone if you have to. Hence why a budget is needed, it keeps you in check so you don’t waste your check. Lol Paying late fees is giving banks your hard earned money to make them more rich 🙄. 3. Cancel your unused subscriptions. We’ve probably made many commitments and subscribed many things we can’t commit to but if you haven’t used it in about a month you probably. Do yourself a favor and cancel those bad boys and save your coins. #budgeting #credittips #budgetingtips #personalfinanceforwomen #frugalliving #moneysavingstips #frugalmillennials #debtfreegoals #fixmycredit #buyingahome #homebuying101 #investmentproperty #homerenovations #usedcarsales #butgod #workingmillennials #youngprofessionals #couponing101 #debtfreejourney #blackwealth #debtfreecommunity #shopthelook #millennialmom #millennialmarriage #millennial #daveramseybudget #personalfinanceforwomen - @thefinancialquench on Instagram
📮 Founders open letter: Hey yall gorgeous people! I apologize that its been a pretty quiet few weeks on this platform. Ive been feeling down lately due to many different reasons which has affected my performance. All I can say is, its been an overwhelming month. (Or should I say an overwhelming year 😅) I dont think Ive posted anything personal about myself on this platform. For once, I want to get personal with this small community I have built at The Bath Theory. For the most part, what you see is a skincare brand with gorgeous feed and awesome products. What you dont see is a young girl working extremely hard behind the screen. From product creation, product testing, packagings, social media content, marketing and accounting. Lately, that girl has been feeling very overwhelmed with many things. As much as I dont want to let personal problems affect my work, there is only so much we can take. We are afterall, only humans. Im certain Im not alone in this, many of you are probably experiencing some sort of stress and trying your best to put on a smile each and everyday. I want to applaud you for staying strong, and applaud me for staying strong too. Its okay to breakdown, its okay to be emotional, its okay to take a break. We are only humans. Most importantly, know that we are not alone. If any of you wish to talk personal things, support each other, skincare chat or simply just want to get to know me, feel free to reach out and DM me here or on my personal ig account @dienafuji 💙 If you are still reading at this point, I just want to say my utmost gratefulness for supporting me and my work. You are what keeps me going and working hard everyday. Have a great Monday! P.S Surprise sale coming up real soon! 🥳 - @thebaththeorysg on Instagram

There’s nothing like experiencing life along with your little one through some of the most fun (and hilarious) stages ever. Of course, as our babies grow into toddlers, their minds grow more creative, and they become master negotiators. Bedtime can become the enemy for many kids, taking away all of the relaxation you earned from sleep training so long ago. Here are some of our top tips for successful toddler sleep. Don’t forget…we work with children up to 4 years old! 1. Keep the nap as long as possible: Does this really need an explanation? 😂 2. Get outside: This is crucial for kids. Being outside not only wears their little bodies out, but they receive the vitamins needed to allow them to sleep well at night. 3. Watch what they eat: When our clients buy a sleep package, we ask them to keep a sleep and feeding log for three consecutive days. What’s best is fresh, organic, non-processed, healthy food (with no dyes), when possible. This allows for less wakings in the night and less night terrors. 4. Don’t force the transition out of the crib: Making this transition when your toddler isn’t ready creates a whole new set of sleep issues. Like #1, hold out as long as you can! 5. Watch out for negotiations: Toddlers try to take control of the situation as they are prepared to be away from you. As endearing as this is, remember you are the parent and need to keep the situation relaxed and in control. 6. Less is more when it comes to night wakings: Toddlers need less talking, less stimulation and less of you lying next to them to get them to sleep. One of our favorite approaches for those highly stimulated children is to grab your video monitor, and speak into it to reassure them they are fine and you are keeping an eye on them. 7. Have a “potty plan”: Cut off water 30-60 minutes before bed, and make sure they go potty before getting in bed. That’s it. If they wet the bed, be prepared with extra sheets. 8. Buy a toddler clock, and follow through: Give them clear expectations as to what time they are allowed to come out of their rooms — we love the OK to Wake! clock. - @thecradlecoach on Instagram

Before I lived with IBS myself I had always assumed it was just about bloating and embarrassing toilet habits. I never realised how debilitating the anxiety around symptoms, fear of foods, poor body image and all the other stuff that comes with the illness could be. People (doctors included based on personal experience) can be very quick to brush off IBS as they don’t realise the impact it has on our mental health as well as physical. It has the ability to control our lives if we let it, but we have the ability to take that control back. IBS may always be a part of us, but it doesn’t have to be the biggest part - we just need to invest the time into understanding our body and minds and freeing ourselves from the anxiety-symptom cycle. (And of course ‘My Tummy Diary’ can help with that!) 📔✏️ - @youvegutthis on Instagram

I think a lot of us are turned off to productivity because we picture a person running around trying to do EVERYTHING. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once we redefine that and remove the busy from its connotations, we would have a new set of priorities. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ First, you need to plan out your ideal schedule now. If youre working too much or feel like youre not accomplishing much even with long hours, its time to change that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After we figure this out, well talk about what actually goes into your schedule next time :) - @breezycamper on Instagram

One of the most common mistakes I see when it comes to PCOS is attempting to treat the symptoms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I get so so many questions - what can I do for irregular cycles? What can I do / take for acne? Hair loss? How do I lose weight?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well... treating symptoms is the conventional medicine approach. You want to treat your acne? You get a cream. You want regular cycles? They give you a pill. You want to lose weight? You get told to go on a diet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No no no no no no no. This creates a lifelong game of whack-a-mole as you subdue one symptom just to have another one pop up.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What if I told you that ALL of your seemingly unconnected symptoms are stemming from the SAME root causes? 🤯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wait.. whaaat?

October is #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness month, and I am so grateful that this awareness exists - but it’s hard. I feel for those who have to remember their losses this month - although I know it’s not something that’s just off of our minds. For me, this month is one that I really just need to get through - I’m so grateful we’re finally having our rainbow baby 🌈 but I need to get to November to breathe more again. In October of 2018 I had my first miscarriage and in October of 2019 I had my second - so I have hated this month for years. I’m so grateful we finally have good news to look forward to this month, but it’s still a hard month. I also personally remember our two embabies that never even had a chance - through failed transfers - this month, and I think that it’s a personal choice for how you grieve this month. No matter what loss you’ve experienced. So to all those remembering their pregnancy or infant losses this month - I see you. I am you. I am so sorry for your pain. Your loss and your pain matters. ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 - @wheneverybodymatters on Instagram

Evolve or repeat. Growth disrupts. Growth heals. Growth awakens. Growth reveals. What will you do when the winds of change come charging your way? Will you resist with force or flow bravely with faith? Will you invest your effort to transform in a meaningful way, or will you spend your energy on staying exactly the same? Speaking from experience, we’ve learned it’s better to lean into whatever growth opportunities the universe puts in our path rather than resist—especially when it’s uncomfortable and we don’t know what’s in store for us next. Sometimes that means unlearning certain habits and even unbecoming certain energies, identities, labels, people, places, dynamics and things that once worked for you but no longer serve you. What have you learned about growth? And what are you still learning about it? - @realwellnessherbal on Instagram

Ever feel like the more you diet and the harder you exercise, the harder it is to get and/or keep the weight off? . Well, there is a scientific reason for this. . Most women spend their whole lives at war with their body- constantly punishing, restricting, hating, picking apart or trying to change it. . Their body becomes their enemy and every healthy action is taken for an underlying ulterior motive of trying to look a different way or become a different person. . All the while, its really the mindset that needs a shift. . You cant heal a body you hate. . A body doesnt feel safe when it is treated like the enemy and neither do you. . Constantly being at war with yourself is a STRESSFUL state of being. . A stressed out body prepares for the worst- it likes to store fuel for later. . Fat is stored fuel for later. . Nourished women and women focused on honoring their bodies do not always want to stay at the same weight or size that they are at. . However, they are content to give their body the space it needs to look what it needs to look like while it heals. . They know that each action they take to listen, honor and nourish will build up overtime to create a completely different body on the inside- and this will inevitably lead to a change on the outside. . I often find that when this mindset shift occurs, immense stress is taken off of womens shoulders. . They no longer have to stress and obsess about weight loss and give themselves permission to just LIVE- regardless of their weight or size. . And interestingly- less stress, less extremes and long-term consistency usually equals a healthier body fat %. .

For point five (oversharing) is especially not good for children as some conversations may be overwhelming or inappropriate for a child to take on. - @kristalnaomi.bodyandmind on Instagram
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR CHILD IS SAD: Is it okay for your child to be sad? Be honest. Are your comfortable with your child’s sad feelings? Many of us are not. It dredges up a whole lot of muck for us as parents. Fear, Exhaustion, Guilt, Worry…. What do we do? We either offer a quick fix or SHUT IT DOWN. Listen to me, we’ve all done it- we’ve all said “You’re ok! Don’t cry.” I get it. Honestly? Sometimes I catch myself still doing it. Sad feelings are HARD, especially when we are already weighed down by our own. This post is meant to help you think about your reaction to sad feelings, not turn you into a scripted robot who needs to always say the right thing. You are human, there’s no way you’ll always say and do the “right” thing. Also? Your child will most likely NOT tell you they are sad with verbal language. They will likely show you they are sad with behavior, body language, and facial cues. The goal is to eventually be able to talk about being sad, but that takes long term acceptance and support. Try swapping out some language and see what happens. Let’s teach our children to accept themselves, including ALL of their feelings. The world will become a better place because of it. Double tap if you are ready to switch things up for your family… Share this post with a friend by tagging them and invite them to join our community @theworkspaceforchildren Let’s parent together. #theworkspace #parenting #parenting101 #parentingtips #parentingjourney #toddlermom #thebigkidyears #positiveparentingtips #mindfulparenting #momssupportingmoms #motherhoodunplugged #resilientkids #emotionalintelligence #parentingishard - @theworkspaceforchildren on Instagram
Your friend cancels on you because she doesn’t feel well. This was something that was getting you through the week knowing you had these plans to look forward to. You feel disappointed. Your immediate response to the disappointment is guilt for feeling that way. After all, the friend is sick! You tell yourself that you shouldn’t be so disappointed and to just get over it. Your guilt about your disappointment sparks guilt about other things. Old parts become activated. The original disappointment remains, untended to. You end up in a spiral. So normal. Consider an alternative. You feel disappointment (VALID). You ALSO feel sad for your friend that she is sick (VALID). Both are real and true. You tell yourself that feeling disappointed and upset makes you human, not selfish or stupid. You remind yourself that it’s safe to feel how you feel. You do something kind for yourself. You let the disappointment ride until it goes away (IT WILL). When we resist our feelings, or treat them as threats, we create a ripple of secondary emotions. What was once frustration or disappointment is now frustration, disappointment, guilt, self-blame, anger, etc. AND, now there is likely anxiety because the response to the feeling was one of criticism and resistance rather than compassion and curiosity. Anxiety thrives in an environment of blame, doubt, and shame. Remember, feelings are information. They are the tour guide (sometimes the rather annoying one that just won’t stop talking) on the journey of taking very good care of yourself. We can either listen to the message they are sending, and thank them or we can try to run away from them. Which example do you relate to? What’s your normal reaction to an uncomfortable feeling? Can you think of a time when your self talk made the original feeling worse? - @kindmindstherapy on Instagram
TIME SPENT WITH GOD CHANGES EVERYTHING👏🏼✨ 1) When you spend time with Him, you begin to see things through His lens rather than your earthly perspective. We are meant to see life from heavens view! 2) Peace is available in His presence🙏🏼 It’s important to know that He’s got everything in the palm of His hand. Rest and let go of control! “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” - Philippians 4:7 . 3) He is the giver and restorer of hope! Nothing is too big for God to come through for you. When we catch His heart for situations and believe in His good nature, hope will arise! . 4) In His presence is FULNESS of JOY✨ When you hang out with God, joy will be a fruit in your life👏🏼 5) The more you spend time with Him the more you will discover your purpose. Don’t live your life trying to chase your purpose, live your life chasing God and you will run into your purpose🙌🏼 - @jenessawait on Instagram

PCOS is a hormonal disorder caused by nutrient deficiencies. Balancing your nutrients along with a good diet and lifestyle is important to heal and reverse your #pcossymptoms . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Myo-Inositol is one such important nutrient. Myo-Inositol is a B vitamin that has been proved very beneficial in women with PCOS OR women with hormonal, metabolic disorders.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Myo-Inositol -⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☑️ Improves Insulin sensitivity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☑️ Lowers testosterone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☑️ Restores normal ovarian activity. ☑️ Regularizes period.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☑️ Improves Egg Quality and thus chances for pregnancy for those trying to conceive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☑️ Helps with facial hair, hair loss and acne.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Women with PCOS have real low levels of myo-inositol and hence the follicles in the ovary are not able to mature n ovulate properly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Eating myo-inositol source food like green beans, brown rice, sesame seeds and supplementing it is very important. You wont be able to meet inositol requirement only through diet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ and what is more interesting is that i have joined in with an amazing organic brand for a Giveaway🎁 of this supplement.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So stay tuned tomorrow at 6pm for the Amazing giveaway.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #inositol #fitwithaastha #nutritioncoach #healyourpcos #pcosawareness #pcossupplements #pcosjourney #pcosttc #pcoscyster #bloodsugarbalance #myoinositol #ovasitol #pcosfighter #pcoswarrior #pcosdiet #pcosplan #pcosweightlossmotivation #strongerthanpcos #pcoslife #youarestrong #1in5 #1in10 #pcod #pcosfitness #pcoshelp - @aasthaverma87 on Instagram

These are things I personally engage in to calm, soothe, relax and connect with myself.• • As part of a healing journey we all need to figure out rituals/practices/strategies that support us in the best and worst times. We can assist our resilience by using practices like these on a consistent basis, they give us something to fall back on when things feel like they may fall apart.• • If you learnt you were not important you will likely not be tuned into what you like to do or what really helps you feel good.• • Changing this starts with self awareness.

Unlike most diets, intuitive eating (anti-diet approach to health created by @evelyntribole & @elyseresch) is 🌟EVIDENCE-BASED🌟 (~125 studies to date📚!) & encourages you to listen to your body/eat what you want WITHOUT conditional terms or restriction. When people who are accustomed to dieting first hear about IE, the idea of trusting your body and allowing full permission to enjoy all foods (as medically & ethically able) may seem a bit scary. . This is a completely understandable feeling considering that diet culture has instilled in us that food and our bodies are things that must be “controlled” for our “health” 🤨 However, research suggests that quite the opposite is true. In fact, too much control (or restriction) often leads to binge eating and a poor relationship with food, which can be harmful to both your physical and mental health. . 📝On the flip side, research on intuitive eating has demonstrated success when it comes to improving our physical and mental health ranging from HIGHER self-esteem, well-being, variety of foods eaten, body appreciation & acceptance, HDL (good cholesterol), interoceptive awareness, proactive coping skills & life satisfaction to LOWER disorder eating, emotional eating, triglycerides, blood pressure & body dissatisfaction. . ❓Question time! For those of you who identify as intuitive eaters or are currently working on your intuitive eating journey - what benefits have you noticed?! For those that are new to IE - what questions do you have? . . . #intuitiveeating #intuitiveeatingofficial #intuitiveeatingbenefits #antidiet #antidietdietitian - @nutrition.by.rd on Instagram

If youre exhausted, youre not alone. In fact, its suggested that more than 50% of people with IBD suffer from poor sleep quality regardless of disease activity (1). ⠀ ⠀ A recent research study indicated that at least 50% of IBD patients experience fatigue. Inflammation, anemia, nutrient deficiencies, medications, and alterations in the gut microbiome have all been suggested to lead to fatigue in patients with crohns or colitis (1).⠀ ⠀ One of the many factors that can impact energy levels is poor sleep quality which is why I have my clients do research-based sleep and fatigue assessments at the beginning and end of our program so that we can quantify their improvements in energy. ⠀ ⠀ Some tips that have helped my clients improve their sleep quality include finding trigger foods to reduce pain/urgent/frequent trips to the bathroom, sticking to consistent sleep/wake schedules even on the weekends, and adding a relaxing bedtime ritual before bed. ⠀ ⠀ My most recent client who completed my program had an 85% improvement in her sleep quality score and a 44% improvement in her fatigue score and this occurred in three months. If she could do it, so can you! Small changes can make a big difference overtime. ⠀ ⠀ Reference:⠀ (1) Nocerino, A., Nguyen, A., Agrawal, M., Mone, A., Lakhani, K., & Swaminath, A. (2020).

#MondayMindset blog is up: Yes, Too Much Positivity Can be Toxic written by SheEO Development Guide MJ Ryan @mjryan4178. About a decade ago, a psychologist named Barbara Fredrickson asked a simple yet profound question: what are the positive emotions for? Her research and that of many others points to the following answer: through the release of feel good hormones, to help us recover from the negative emotions, to bring our body/minds/spirits out of fight/flight/freeze and back to a relaxed state. They are meant as a recovery strategy, not an emotional bypass. Read more - link in bio.

COMMON PERIOD SYMPTOMS✨ - I asked you all what are you most frustrating period symptoms and the common theme was: PAIN. - Period pain can show up as symptoms like: 🌙Cramps 🌙Pelvic pain 🌙Headaches or migraines 🌙Gut issues 🌙Breast tenderness 🌙Painful cyclical acne (usually on the jawline) - And of course if we’re in all of this pain our mood isn’t going to be the best – hello mood swings & anxiety. - While these symptoms are COMMON, they are NOT NORMAL. - Pain is a signal from the body that something is out of balance. - When it comes to these common period pain symptoms it’s important to identify the root cause, which is often: 1️⃣Imbalances in estrogen & progesterone 2️⃣Inflammation - When we’re talking about imbalances in estrogen & progesterone often it’s that we’re in an estrogen dominant state. But estrogen dominance is not just one thing, it’s high estrogen IN RELATION TO progesterone. So this can show up as: 1️⃣Elevated estrogen, normal progesterone 2️⃣Elevated estrogen, low progesterone 3️⃣Normal estrogen, low progesterone 4️⃣Normal estrogen, normal progesterone but low progesterone/estrogen ratio - It’s important to identify YOUR picture of estrogen dominance, because healing strategies will differ slightly, ESPECIALLY when it comes to supplements that help with supporting estrogen metabolism or raising low progesterone levels. - For example, taking DIM because you have these symptoms and assume your estrogen is high when it’s not, can lower estrogen too much and lead to OTHER issues. Or taking vitex / chasteberry because you assume your progesterone must be low but it’s not is not actually getting to the root cause. - So what can you do? Test & don’t guess. I use the DUTCH hormone test in my practice to help you uncover your hormone levels so you can target a healing approach that is based on what is going on in YOUR body. And you complete the test at home.🙌🏼✨ - This way you can save time, stress, & $$ by actually knowing what to target. - For info on the hormone test package see link in bio (US clients only)🌻 - @composednutrition on Instagram
Perhaps the most common request in my DMs from patients and docs alike is to see what types of preconception labs I am commonly ordering. It almost always involves something like, “Would you be willing to share what types of preconception labs you order – no worries if you don’t want to say!”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ OF COURSE I will tell you! I don’t own this list, this is not a proprietary blend. This list has changed numerous times for me, but this is what I find the most clinically helpful at this point in time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I try to get as much information as I can through the labs we can bill through insurance. Some things (like homocysteine, vitamin D, some nutrients) have variable coverage, but we do what we can. There is SO MUCH information to be gained from the labs that would be ordered with an annual physical as long as someone is there to review it through a functional lens.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That being said, advanced functional testing can be incredibly insightful, and I use it often. Some of my most often used tools include comprehensive stool analysis, adrenal stress index, micronutrient testing/oxidative stress assessment, and hormone metabolism studies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lots of patients come to me and say, “I begged my doctor for a fasting insulin and they said no” OR “I was told thyroid antibodies are meaningless.” I’m not usually one to pick fights, but WHYYYYY?!?! These are not strange or unconventional labs. You can take 30 seconds to search the medical literature and find a bajillion pieces of evidence that these studies are valuable.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At any rate, I want everyone to feel empowered to get the information they need, so this is my list right now! It was probably different 6 months ago and may be different 6 months from now. Hope this reaches someone out there who is looking for more 💗 - @functionalfertility on Instagram

I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately. I took some time off to prioritize my mental health after sinking into a lot of negativity & self-doubt. Imposter syndrome is exhausting! Anyhow, I’m feeling more clear-headed now, and wanted to create something positive out of the hostile interactions I’ve been part of recently because I’ve learned a lot from them. My 3 major takeaways: 1. Many people, myself included, reach for manipulative forms of communication when there are underlying feelings of pain, fear, and shame. I believe this is because we are not taught productive ways of managing these feelings, as much of our society is predicated on ignoring, diminishing & demonizing any emotions viewed as antithetical to the American notion of “strength”. 2. Much of manipulative communication is based on the transference of responsibility — that the recipient “should” carry the weight of the attacker’s feelings & personal situation. Unfortunately, dissecting & stopping this often requires the recipient to take on undue labor of educating the attacker (not their responsibility), which makes the interactions extra exhausting & harmful. 3. The fervor & consistency of receiving manipulative communication is absolutely correlated with the stereotypes & expectations associated with the recipient’s intersectional identities. (Relatedly, the ardent dismissal of those identities being a factor is VERY telling.) While the point of this post is to identify & examine harmful behavior, I want to say it’s important to also hold space for change & growth. I know I can be simultaneously guilty of exhibiting problematic behavior while being on the receiving end of a lot of vitriol, as an Asian woman in an industry heavily reliant on machismo and anti-intellectualism. Rejecting manipulative behavior also requires us to hold ourselves accountable for continually analyzing how (and why) we interact with others, so we are not also lured into enacting harm. Note: There are many faces of each of these manipulative behaviors, and they present differently across different relationships. This post specifically addresses them in the context of online communication. - @chefjennydorsey on Instagram

PCOS is often passed down through families. So we know it has a genetic connection🧬 as well as other contributing factors that lead to it. It is important to know that weight gain does NOT cause PCOS, rather PCOS causes weight gain. There are slim females that also have PCOS due to either genetics or environmental factors,etc. . There are different types of PCOS and based on the patients symptoms, each patient should have an individualized treatment👩🏻⚕️ ——————————— Insulin resistance is what drives cravings because as explained above, insulin resistant means your cells aren’t getting the energy they need - so you are low on energy, you crave carbohydrates, and you gain weight more easily⬆️ . It is important to make sure you’re eating enough and eating regularly. This is because when we let ourselves get too hungry, our blood sugars drop and we see massive spikes when we do finally eat. Restricting also sends us into that binge restricting cycle which ultimately can perpetuate metabolic dysfunction. According to a study, low carb diets in the treatment of PCOS is associated with a greater reduction in insulin resistance compared to a conventional diet. . Intermittent fasting is recommended - not just what you eat but how you eat! Ultimately how you eat is going to have a bigger impact on your insulin🍬⏰ . Often times people think giving up gluten will help manage PCOS symptoms. This is inaccurate since gluten is actually a protein found in grains, therefore unless you have gluten insensitivity.. then it is not required to cut off gluten from your diet🍞 . Patients with PCOS benefitted from eliminating dairy from their diet and found using alternative milks such as nut milks (almond, cashew, etc), coconut milk and flaxseed milk to be helpful in terms of avoiding excess hormones from animals (since they already have enough hormones in their body). This varies with each person since not all patients react badly to dairy🧀🥛 . A majority of women with PCOS have insulin resistance (fasting blood sugars and insulin levels are too high) - this puts them at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes, infertility, and other complications. . .

Friends - It’s been a while since I’ve posted and my stories have been few. I have shifted my focus. . It seems every day, in my feed, in my DMs, in the stories I watch, there is more and more mud slinging, competition, reports of the evil coming our way and stories of our dismal future. . I don’t want to live under a rock and I’m certainly no Pollyanna, but I have yet to find one consistent source sharing WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT. . I believe all of the noise is, yet again, satan’s most polished skill - deception and distraction. We are being sucked in to all of the reports of the evil in the world and the conspiracies (read:truths) and the new reports of deception and that time we were investing in God’s word has now shifted. Have we lost focus? . I know I did. It’s easy to do and satan is soooo good at it. He’s incredibly clever. . I’m all about remaining aware and informed and prepared. We must. We MUST. But...we must look for answers in God’s word. . I am on a journey to figure out WHAT to do and I will share out my personal opinions and findings as they come, but much like the New Age was a distraction from getting closer to God, so are these rabbit holes because they cause us to waver, to question, to lose hope - even if for a minute, it’s still furthering satan’s agenda. . So, for now, step 1 is to better balance our time we spend informing with the time we spend in KNOWING His word. . “Because of this I say to you, whatever you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.” Marqos (Mark) 11:24 TS2009 . Pray and know it is on its way, . Wishing you joy! . . . #satansdeception #godspromises #mark1124 #getintheword #thewordofgod #biblebeliever #bibletalk #stayfocusedonyourgoals #hopeinjesus #hopefortoday #authenticitycoach #lisakcoaching #wishingyoujoy - @lisakcoaching on Instagram

Psychologists don’t just “do therapy”! . Psychologists work in many many many different sectors and often outside of the therapy room. I think this is one of the main misconceptions of the career. Some psychologists work in clinics and hospitals yes, though many others work in corporations, with sports teams, in prisons, at court, with start ups, and the list goes on and on! . Even those who work in clinics / hospitals actually spend a significant proportion of their time outside of the therapy room - conducting research, training staff, doing assessments, etc. . A lot of psychologists say that what they like about the role is not one day is ever the same, and that’s what’s exciting about it. 🌟💓 . . . . . #clinicalpsychologist #psychologistsofinstagram #dclinpsy #psychologystudent #psychstudents #ukpsychology #psychologymajor #psychologydegree - @theoxfordpsych on Instagram

These are REALLY difficult times, especially if you are a parent. It’s a juggling act — made up of wearing so many different hats. You may even aim for being perfect in all of these hats. But what does being perfect really mean?? Does it even exist? Gentle reminder that perfection does not exist and being perfect is not what kids remember. Kids remember if you’re there for them. Kids remember how they feel. They remember how you celebrate them in the great moments and support them in the harder ones. Were here to remind you that youre doing an amazing job and we see you. What’s one small way you hope to be present and connect with your kids this week? - @kindmindstherapy on Instagram

Having boundaries makes you a B I T C H At least that’s what main stream would have you believing Love can’t exist without boundaries. Seems like a simple concept but the application in action is where many appear to struggle. WHY?! We’ve been taught that filling our cup first is SELFISH (and god forbid someone perceives you to be selfish..) Boundaries are often difficult to set because.. 👉🏻One doesn’t know themselves 👉🏻One doesn’t feel they have rights 👉🏻One believes setting boundaries can jeopardize a relationship 👉🏻One never learned to have healthy boundaries. ✔️Boundaries are learned and If yours weren’t valued as a child, you didn’t learn you had them. ✔️Boundaries are our way of communicating to others that we have self-respect, self-worth, and will not allow others to define us. ✔️Boundaries help us express ourselves as the unique individuals we are, while acknowledging the same in others. How do you know is you are lacking in or struggling to set boundaries? Let me throw down a few examples. 🖐🏻You constantly CRY WOLF (hello victim) 🖐🏻You complain about E V E R Y T H I N 🖐🏻You blame external circumstances and situations for your reality 🖐🏻You go against personal values or rights in order to please others 🖐🏻You give as much as you can for the sake of giving 🖐🏻You take as much as you can for the sake of taking 🖐🏻You let others define you and constantly worry about what others think of you 🖐🏻You expect others to fill your needs automatically 🖐🏻You feel bad or guilty when you say no 🖐🏻You choose not to speak up when you are treated poorly 🖐🏻You agree for the sake of avoiding discord when in actuality you disagree Here comes the re-frame y’all if you are struggling with boundaries I ask you to remember this... “Should the cabin lose pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the overhead area. Please place the mask over your own mouth and nose before assisting others.” ❤️It isn’t selfish to take care of yourself through setting boundaries it’s necessary! #selfcare #boundaries #healthyboundaries #fillyourcupfirst #noisacompletesentence - @tayloredwellbeing on Instagram

💭 H S P [art/words: @themindgeek] ——— 🌿One of the main struggles of being highly sensitive is the feeling of emotional + physical exhaustion 🌿As we move through life, we learn + find ways to mind our energy but it can take us a while to realize what our energy thieves are 🌿Above, we can see some general things that can drain our energy, particularly if we are a highly empathic individual 🌿Looking at the last sticky note, “The Weight of All That Is Unsaid”, we might wonder what this means.

And just when it felt like a turning point was finally being reached in the discourse around weight and health, the government introduces the new “obesity strategy”, largely driven by fear around the purported (and questionable) association with covid-19 risk (cf. @chr1styharrison recent post for a deep-dive into this). Highlighting that the focus on weight in the upcoming campaign will “capitalise on fear of the virus”, today’s news is filled with sweeping sensationalist statements and stigmatising quotes from the health secretary and other ministers and journalists, who’s focus on individual responsibility couldn’t be further from what we were hoping for with this new strategy. It’s clear I’m not the only one frustrated by how much this simplistic narrative misses the mark. Implied in discussions of Boris’ weight loss since his hospitalisation is the suggestion that, “if I can do it, so can, and so should, you” 🤷🏼♂️. But, now more than ever we need to be talking about the social determinants of health, the wealth of evidence we have that weight does not equal health, and that weight-shaming language will do more harm than good. The government must “do their bit” in acknowledging that in order to improve health, it is social and health inequalities that must be addressed. Yes, it would make for a much more complex and challenging strategy (and I don’t claim to have the answers), but addressing and delving into this complexity is necessary. So that it doesn’t fuel stigma, and in turn harm mental as well as physical health ❌ #Obesity #ObesityStrategy #WeightStigma - @ginagnutrition on Instagram
I love the idea of eating less meat, but I always feel so hungry ...or just unsatisfied when I try to go more plant-based. 😫 . . . Sound familiar?🤨 . . . ⤴️Above are some of the most common mistakes I see when people try to shift more plantbased. Let’s dive deeper.⤵️ . . . Fiber🌱, protein💪🏼, & fat🧠 help keep us satiated. Plant-based diets tend to be higher in carbs🧆, so it’s important to make sure you’re choosing carbs with higher fiber 💩& protein 🌯amounts. Even a simple swap like quinoa or oats in lieu of rice (even brown rice is still fairly low in fiber and protein) can help! . . . 🌱Plant-based diets tend to be lower in fat🧈, especially ones that omit eggs🥚 & dairy🧀. Fat helps with meal satisfaction😋 and longer lasting energy⚡️Be sure to include fats in cooking or add in 🥑avocado, 🥜nuts, seeds, or olives to your plate!🍴 . . . ⁉️Are you eating enough or did you just omit meat without a replacement? 🧐I’m not saying you have to substitute meat 1:1 with a veggie based meat product, but you do need to adjust your portions to make sure you’re still hitting your needs. ➡️Similarly, plant-based meals tend to be higher in volume - think big leafy salads 🥬and grain bowls🥙. Fiber is awesome, but if your meal is all high fiber, lower carb veggies you may feel full very quickly, but not have actually eaten enough other nutrients to keep you satisfied🧐 . . . Friend, incorporating plantbased meals shouldn’t leave you hungry or feeling like something is missing! 🤟🏼DM me or comment below with other questions you have about plant based eating🗣 - @redefininghealthy_rd on Instagram

Some Decolonizing tips for your new moon ritual ~ 🌙 [Image Description: Tips for Decolonizing Your Altar with Sacred Alchemist: Purchase crystals, stones and gems from ethically sourced spaces (or go crystal mining and collect your own!)

But nobody can pay full attention all the time Magda reminds us. We approach caregiving activities as times for connection. Care is the curriculum.

TRUTHBOMB 🤯 . You can change your job, change your relationship...move countries . But there comes a moment when you’ve done that enough times to realise that in all those situations that weren’t great, that you were the common denominator. Ouch 😣 . You see, we can’t avoid ourselves (Although of course we can try 🤷🏻♀️) . The external stuff, the stuff that’s not working for us in life can be the trigger (if we let it) for us to start to look within . And it’s actually one of the biggest GIFTS we can have because it means we finally start to get to know ourselves, we meet ourselves wholly & completely. From the inside-out . From that place we get to fully choose what we bring into our lives. Not from a place of escaping. But from a place of wholeness 🌟🌟 - @_clairebradshaw_ on Instagram

I felt so ashamed of ever telling people that I had an eating disorder because of the stigma and misconceptions that surround people’s understanding. It is so important that people know the truth about eating disorders so that those suffering feel comfortable to seek treatment and tell their stories 💖. If you have an eating disorder please know that your experience is valid, real and that you do not have to be a statistic. You can recover, you can find freedom and you can live a full healthy and happy life ✨. - - - - - - #anarecovery #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #iweigh #anarecovering #beatana #beatanorexia #edrecoverywarrior #eatingdisorderawareness #endthestigma #anorexiafighter #anorexiasurvivor #anorexiawarrior #edwarriors #edwarrior #iamnot1in5 #edfam #edcommunity #recoveryispossible #nourishnotpunish #anorexianervosarecovery #mentalhealthawareness #recoveryjourney #eatingdisordersupport #disorderedeating #orthorexia - @lovelucyclaire on Instagram

🧠 Until the age of around 4, toddlers don’t have a well-developed prefrontal cortex. It’s responsible for lots of important functions like impulse control and emotional regulation. 🗣 So until 4 yrs old (and even after!) Dr. Markham suggests children “borrow our executive function.” I spoke about this very topic with @drlauramarkham_ahaparenting for the Raising Toddlers Conference. . Co-regulation is modeling how we expect children to respond to life’s ups and downs. Laying that foundation for children. It takes patience to not overreact ourselves! . If you find yourself struggling to regulate your own emotions and behavior, you could follow Dr. Markham’s advice: 🛑“Stop, drop, and breathe. It’s your pause button.” Stop what you are doing, drop your agenda and breathe deeply. . What else can we do to help ourselves so that we can co-regulate in the heat of a moment? 🧘🏽Meditation is another way Dr. Markham suggests. Did you know that measurable changes can be seen in an adult brain after one month of meditating for 15 minutes a day! If you’re struggling with co-regulation then you won’t want to miss our full interview on Day 3 of the conference (📆 October 23rd!). Mark your calendar and register! .

Okay mamas, there are a few things we assume just “happen”.... come instinctively... breastfeeding, car seat safety, and motherhood bliss/instant bond. When many times, these 3 things are far from instinct... and that’s okay! But we can become informed and be prepared for each of these! + Car seat safety learn, gather information, prepare, practice — yes, BEFORE baby! Don’t you want to feel confident putting your entire world into their car seat safely?! I know you do, me too! It’s much more than “just strapping them in securely”. Michelle @safeintheseat is the EXPERT here. This is a big area I see parents struggle with when I am discharging them from the hospital, but it’s an area we can prepare for with Michelle’s guidance! + Breastfeeding not “natural”, baby doesn’t always come out just “knowing what to do” and that’s okay! They’re learning just as much as we are! This is an area we, as mamas stress over often, as feeding our baby is of utmost importance! Let’s gather information, be prepared, and feel confident with decision making when/if something comes up during our breastfeeding journey! I have a course walking through all things nursing, milk supply, pumping, back to work, supplementing, etc. the real real— focusing on more than just one circumstance! + Taking care of YOU! KNOWING that it’s okay to need space from your baby. It’s okay to fulfill YOUR needs. You have to fill your cup to fill everyone else’s cup too. It’s okay to vent. It’s okay to not feel obsessed with every moment of motherhood— and it’s okay to feel the opposite too! We are here for you, mamas. We just want you to be prepared + validated + informed in your entire decision making/learning process of motherhood! Decorating the nursery, outfit picking, and maternity pics are so fun!! And should be prioritized too! But so can learning about the deepest aspects of motherhood BEFORE baby comes “, while continuing education after! We are here for you! YOU GOT THIS, MAMA!!! 🤍What are some things you wished you prepared for more adequately before baby? - @karrie_locher on Instagram
Repost from @wellness_dialogues • There are numerous types of privilege: class, gender, racial, religious, sexuality & being able bodied form the major categories. Racial privilege, more specifically “white privilege,” is a term that is often met with defensiveness so here are some things to note: ▫️The term “white” may spark discomfort if you are not used to being referred by your race. ▫️The term “privilege” may cause defensiveness if you believe it negates struggle. ▫️Discomfort and defensiveness related to race is likely rooted in privilege. So, what does white privilege really mean? ▫️Having greater access to power ▫️Having greater access to resources ▫️Being unaware of having power ▫️Having the ability to maintain racial power dynamics and inequalities ▫️Moving through professional worlds with ease ▫️Moving through social worlds with ease ▫️Having everyday conveniences that were designed to only benefit white folks White privilege does not mean that white folks cannot experience poverty or hardship. It instead means that white folks primarily benefit from institutional, cultural and social policies, practices & norms and typically perpetuate disparities through lack of awareness. Guilt is an easy and passive feeling to have. Lending and sharing power is challenging and active. I encourage you to take the more difficult route.

This is difficult. Uncertainty is difficult. Our brains find uncertainty difficult. Normally we manage this by creating plans and anticipating the future with a degree of confidence and assumed accuracy, but that’s just not possible right now. Our brains feel stressed because uncertainty and unpredictability is ever near and the future is unknown and difficult to plan for. Then on the flip side, our normal coping strategies- that help us deal with stress- are just not possible. Relaxing and pub is an oxymoron right now. A leisurely browse is fraught with tension. Meeting friends has such a degree of added complexity or planning that it’s not quite the easy relaxed event it should be. Anticipated joy to fill our mind is hard to find, so anticipated dread creeps in instead. As for holidays - the thought of which often keep us going through tough times - well, who knows when they will be back. It’s a double difficult whammy of increased stress and less availability of coping strategies to deal with that stress. And that is not just double difficult, but exponentially difficult. Often we blame ourselves for how we feel. Or we shame ourselves for how we feel. We think we should be feeling differently or doing better. But sometimes we just find it difficult because it is difficult.. So try not to shame the feelings you are having right now, or internalise these to mean something negative about you. Difficult times can result in difficult emotions. That doesn’t feel nice, but shaming or blaming yourself just makes it even more difficult. Instead try to recognise and validate how you feel. Everybody’s brain is different and everybody’s situation and experiences are different. Combine these together and it means that how everybody will feel in response to the current situation will be slightly different. Different doesn’t mean wrong, differences are the norm with emotions because differences are the norm with humans. And difficult emotions are the norm in difficult times, but these need extra care not the additive stress of shame or blame. - @thepsychologymum on Instagram
When it comes to social media are you: Blaming? Complaining? Wanting? Worrying? Comparing?! Oooh CUTIE PIE, we’ve got some reframing to do! Negativity is inviting because, well, it’s easy. But easy ain’t getting ya nowhere. Let’s SHIFT. Instead of blaming the algorithm, take a look at your content. What are your top performing posts? What are your lowest performing posts? Take note, and also TALK to your community. What do they want to see more of and what do they enjoy the most? Instead of complaining about engagement, ask yourself: are you giving the engagement that you hope to receive? Often times we complain that no one is commenting on our posts, but when was the last time YOU spent time giving out genuine engagement? Instead of always wanting more more more when it comes to followers, switch your thoughts to being appreciative of the people who you already have. If you’re only focused on the the people you don’t have, you’ll never foster the necessary connections with the people you do have. Instead of worrying that the market is oversaturated, think, holy cow, if there are lots of people doing this, that means there is a demand for it! I can do this too and bring my own unique perspective to it. Instead of comparing your chapter 1 to someone else’s 57, remember that everyone was a beginner. No one had it figured out from the start. Make mistakes. Fall down, get back up.

Guys.. this needs to be said. As a mental health professional very involved in the social media community, I’ve seen thousands of the same posts DAILY. The ones about anxiety, taking it a day at a time, you know the drill. Guys.. look. Yes, these are nice sentiments. But before you post something, REALLY THINK about how helpful it will be to those reading it. People in this community follow a bunch of similar accounts and seeing the same thing over and over in slightly different words might be nice for a moment, but it doesn’t ACTUALLY produce change. Think of your objective. Is it just to have an online presence as a mental health professional (or whatever you are doing) or is it to influence and make people really think of things in a different way? And look, we don’t all have to be leaders and influencers and that’s fine. Not saying you need to be. But the over-saturation of the same types of posts actually could be detrimental. Why? Think about if you were actually struggling with a mental health disorder. Is reading a quote or watching a reel or tiktok telling you to do some deep breathing really going to help? Or might it make the person feel more alone and frustrated because they’ve already heard these things and they aren’t helpful? Be mindful in your posts and really think about who you are speaking to and what your objective is. Unless you just want to be one of those accounts people just scroll through and don’t actually read/learn anything from🤷🏻♀️. #sorrynotsorry - I don’t sugarcoat!!!

Raise your hand if you’ve had any of these uncomfortable conversations with your teen 🙋🏽♀️? Awesome! Good for you! We know that these conversations can be awkward, weird, icky, we get it, we get it. But they are also necessary in today’s climate. A couple of thoughts on how to tackle these: 1- Try a “parallel” conversation, like riding in the car or going for a walk, so that you don’t have to be face-to-face. 2- Pick times when you and your teen can actually focus. 3- Ask open-ended questions and create an open dialogue, rather than “talking at” them. 4- Share your own personal story to get the conversation rolling (bonus points if it contains any humor 😂) 5- Admit that you don’t have all the answers! You are human, and your teen should see that too. Plus, it creates a feeling of empathy and accountability between the two of you. What has worked for you in having these tricky chats with your teens? This week we are diving into the process of consent and can’t wait to hear how you handle that with your teens! #beaproblemsolver #parentingteens #parentingtweens #consentmatters #consentculture #raisingteens #teenmentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #socialskills #fuquayvarinanc #hollyspringsnc - @beaproblemsolver on Instagram

Solidarity or Ally Theater? A few self accountability questions I drafted. Im sure theres probably similar questions floating around! Im trying to find the energy to do a more comprehensive post in the future. But for now, these questions! [image description: An off-white colored graphic with Solidarity or Ally Theater? Self Accountability Questions as the title. The first question is in a red colored rectangle. The first question is Do my actions stop at raising awareness or are my actions offerings of material support? The second question is in a khaki colored rectangle. The second question is Do my actions decenter my ego or do I act with the desire to be a visible, praised actor? How do I respond when my ego is activated? The third question is in an orange colored rectangle. The third question is Do my actions reflect my stake in anti-Black heirachies by, for example, reinforcing colorism, cissexism, or ableism? The final question is in a brown-ish colored rectangle. The final question is Do my actions accompany political (re)education and reparations?] as always, if you reshare, link back to this post since it has an image description in the caption as well as in the alt text! unless you copy and paste from here of course! ♥️ paypal.me/jaloniamor - @jaowrites on Instagram

Last months September prompts were a bit all over the place, hence I condensed this set quite a lot and tried to make it a bit more cohesive. You dont have to use them in any particular order and please be as creative as possible! Rid yourself of flesh (creatively, mind you) and let your thoughts reign free. Additionally, this October I may be teasing a few of my works, but focusing on one in particular as it fits the theme quite well: Skin To Bone. Thanks for your attention. 🖤🖤🖤 RULES: Have fun!

I may sound like a broken record but Ill never stop saying that health and well being is about more than whats on your plate. ⠀ If it only took green juice to be healthy, wouldnt everyone be drinkin that kool-aid? ⠀ If it only took medication to fix things like anxiety, wouldnt fewer people be anxious? Ill tell you what, if that was the case, I would have kicked severe anxiety attacks to the curb LONG before I actually did. ⠀ For me, just taking medication was like putting crappy bandaids over VERY deep wounds. ⠀ The deal is, you are a multi-faceted being. You are the sum of MANY parts. For real, lasting change and optimal living, you need to consider the WHOLE self, not just one or two aspects. ⠀ It took me a long time to truly and fully understand this. I had to address my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health to really see progress in my life in terms of healing from illness(es) and managing mental health. ⠀ Thats why Im such a fan of a holistic approach to health and wellness! ⠀ #holisticwellness #holisitichealth #holistichealthcoach #healingtools #healthandwellnesscoach #wholeperson #healinganxiety #momswithanxiety #womenwithambition #wellnesslifestyle - @reclaimingmaddie on Instagram

now that the days are getting colder and autumn is approaching, chances are, depressive episodes are coming for me. winter is my biggest depression trigger ever, and swedish winter is hellish to me (and like, most of us living here). i decided to sit down a little while ago and write down all my personal depression signs so i can be more mindful of when it might happen. it seems - well, depressing, to plan for depressive episodes, but that’s life with bipolar disorder. you gotta stay on top of your moods. i am a huge advocate for understanding your mental illness and knowing your triggers, warning signs, and symptoms. when i start feeling depressed, my extrovert heart grows uninterested in social interaction, and when i find myself around others i just feel so incredibly dull, bored and tired of playing the character that is myself. my energy is low and my motivation is pretty much zero. dishes pile up, teeth get that fuzzy feeling from not being brushed enough, room starts looking like a pigsty, it’s a whole mess. but once i realize that i might be depressed, the easier it gets to start fighting back, because you have to fight that damn depression until your will to retain your normal self is stronger than depression’s grip of your psyche. knowing what your depression looks like when it starts creeping up is really important. these are my signs of an incoming depression, what are your signs ? • • • #mentalhealth #mentalillness #mentalhealthawareness #psynligt #nostigma #mentalhealthwarrior #recovery #art #digitalart #artistsoninstagram #comic #crazyheadcomics - @crazyheadcomics on Instagram

Happy Social Sunday! ✨ Whether you’re back at work, still #wfh or hoping to turn your side hustle into your main biz, now’s the time to grow your brand! To help you strategize for the upcoming week, we’re breaking down our top 6 strategies for growing your brand on social media! 🌟 1. Post Consistently - You don’t have to post every day. You can post as few as a couple times a week! But it’s important to set a schedule of when to post so your followers will know when to expect content from your page. Create a social media calendar so you can commit to the schedule. (Don’t forget to save some back-up content for days when you feel brain-drained!) 🌟 2. Don’t sell - just tell your stories - The social-savvy generation is literally bombarded with an ad every second so the key to making a long-lasting connection is to just be you. Don’t tell them what you do. Show them why it is that you do what you do, and how you’re doing it! 🌟 3. Grow an interactive community - Social media is a two-way street! Interact with your followers by asking questions, commenting back to them, and actively engaging on their page! Treat each like, follow, and comment as a friend reaching out to you via texts/calls. It’s rude to leave those unread, right? 🌟 4. Partner with causes that support your brand’s value - With great power comes great responsibility! Here at XYZ Media, we fully believe that it’s our responsibility to put the “social activism” back into “social media”. It’s cool to have a following, but it’s even cooler to use your platform to better our community. In a world full of competitive influencers, you will standout if you are socially responsible. 🌟 5. Niche down! - Here’s a secret… avoid broad hashtags! The more niche your hashtag selection is, the quicker you’ll gain influence in that market. Niche down first then scale up. 🌟 6. Track and learn from your posts with the highest engagement - It’s important to look back at your pasts postings to see what your audience wants from you! Which posts got your the most likes? Most comments? Least? This will help give you a direction on what to focus on. - @xyzmediaco on Instagram
Happy September! Kicking off this month with some mindful intentions. What are some of your intentions for this month?👇🏻 If you havent thought of any, try thinking of one to commit to!) . . . . . #septemberintentions #monthlyintentions #mindfulness #bemindful #entrepreneurship #goalsetting #businessgoals #monthlygoals - @growwithjess_ on Instagram
Food was my predominant way of managing my emotions. Maybe you can relate? I grew up in a home where food was love. And food was my go-to for boredom, loneliness, anxiety + stress. The problem was, when I wanted to lose weight, emotional eating got in the way of my goal AND it kept me from addressing the actual emotion I was feeling. I want to make something VERY clear: Emotional eating is NOT bad. It’s a mechanism we develop to cope. BUT, if you do have a physique goal, you will NEED to manage stress, overwhelm + anxiety with things other than food ♥️ Food is a distraction + isn’t a long term solution. Food can’t fix sad. Food can’t fix angry. Food can’t fix stressed or anxious or irritated. It does a good job fixing hunger though 🙂 All that other stuff... you’ll want to manage in other ways. When you eat for sadness, you’ll end up with 2 problems: being overly full and sad.. THAT AIN’T FUN 🤣 lol I’ve been there. This topic has been highly requested on our podcast, Decades of Strength, and today it’s LIVE for you 🙌🏼 🙌🏼 In this weeks episode, you’ll hear the strategies we’ve used to move past relying on food soothe ourselves + use to help our clients do the same. If you’ve struggled with emotional eating, head to my stories + swipe up to listen. You’ll also hear about the FREE masterclass I’m hosting this Wednesday for YOU all about emotional eating, why you do it and how to stop! 🙌🏼 I appreciate you for being here! And I’m so excited to hear your feedback on the podcast episode 🌟Sam, Sarah, Marci, & Kim. . #emotionalhealth #emotionaleating #emotionaleatingrecovery #emotionaleater #stresseating #stresseater #honoryourbody #feelings #selfhealers #selfhealingjourney #selfheal #selfheal #foodrelationship #foodfreedom #foodfreedomforever #foodfreedomcoach #mantras #affirmationsoftheday #affirmations #dailyaffirmations #weightlossaffirmations #healthyandhappy #consciouseating #intuitiveeating #intuitiveeatingjourney #intuitiveeatingofficial #mindfuleating #mindfuleatingtips #losingweightjourney - @saltylifts on Instagram
Thank you @justgirlproject @eriicalewiis for this amazing and informative illustration! 🙏🏼 Identifying our feelings is the first step to better mental health. If we know what were feeling, we can learn to manage these feelings in the healthiest way possible. Once were aware of our feelings, we can choose to express them privately or to others. To learn how to best do that, read our article in our profile on How to Express Your Feelings, co-authored by counselor and hypnotherapist Julia Lyubchenko @stories_behind_the_doors (link in bio 👆)! #wikiHow #howto #howtoidentifyfeelings #knowyourfeelings #feelings #emotions #knowyourself #mentalhealth #therapy #selftherapy #health #wellness - @wikihow on Instagram

National data indicates that the current situation is resulting in increased anxiety and reduced wellbeing. Probably no surprise there. In the last week, I’ve done lots of interviews and been asked the same question a number of times about how Covid-19 can impact on our mental health and also how we can manage this. So I thought I’d answer this in a drawing. This is part one “just some ways that corona virus might impact on your mental health” part 2 coming soon when I get a chance to draw it! Thank you for all your contributions to this. Although I haven’t included them in the drawings, I wanted to acknowledge too that some people (albeit a minority) recognised that the current situation had impacted positively on their mental Health and mentioned reduced choice, more focus on what matters to them, slowing down and appreciating and being grateful for what they have. - @thepsychologymum on Instagram

If you’ve ever been betrayed by a partner, you’ll know how painful the recovery process is. And as if dealing with the fallout from the betrayal wasn’t bad enough, your suffering intensifies when you don’t know how to navigate the plethora of feelings that follow. If not properly managed, emotional pain really has a way of bringing out the worst in people. You might experience feelings like sadness, loss, confusion, disappointment, and powerlessness. And in such vulnerable state, often the safest feeling that you can access is the one that protects you from falling victim again — anger. Anger energizes you to reclaim your power by subduing your threat, so you might feel entitled to hurt them back. Initially, punishing your partner might help you restore some sense of justice in your relationship, but over time, continuous punishment only reinforces conflict and prevents healing. Here’s why: ✔️ You’re going the wrong way. Post-betrayal, if what you want is to rebuild trust and connection, hostility is the wrong tool for that. ✔️ Mistreating your partner may cause self guilt that can amplify your insecurities about the relationship. ✔️ Holding on to hurt and anger shuts out any opportunity for repair. ✔️ Punishment can create a role reversal, where the other person now becomes a victim, and you a threat to be avoided. Forgiveness is key if you’ve been hurt by your partner, and desire staying in the relationship. It involves letting go of the need to punish your partner for their mistakes, and giving them space to regain your trust. Take a look at the comparison above. When you’re hurt, do you find yourself more punishing or forgiving? More on working toward forgiveness and repair tomorrow. - @lovealways.drbetsy on Instagram

Did your doctor ever discuss nutrition during your pregnancy? It’s disappointing when I talk to mothers who say that nutrition was never discussed during their prenatal appointments, and if it was brought up, it often included these common misconceptions. ⠀ ⠀ 🚫Any prenatal is ok⠀ ✅ Not all prenatals are created equal. The forms and doses are important to enable your body to absorb nutrients that may be lacking in your diet. ⠀ 🚫You don’t need to supplement with vitamin D⠀ ✅Studies have shown that the needs of vitamin D for a pregnant mother is much higher (at least 4000 IU) compared to the current RDA of 600IU. Vitamin D levels can vary greatly depending on where you live, your skin tone, among other factors, so it’s important to get your levels checked throughout your pregnancy to properly assess your needs.⠀ 🚫Take folic acid⠀ ✅Folic acid is commonly used in prenatal vitamins, but studies show that 40-60% of the population are unable to convert this synthetic form to use in their bodies. Folate, or L-methylfolate, is the activated bioavailable form that is naturally found in foods and allows for the body to metabolize it without converting it. ⠀ 🚫Avoid fish⠀ ✅Many women are told to avoid fish for fear of contaminants like mercury. However, many types of fish, like cold water fish, are safe to eat during pregnancy. Fish is also an important source of DHA, which plays a crucial role in your baby’s brain development, as well as trace minerals and vitamin D. ⠀ 🚫Stay away from organ meats⠀ ✅Many traditional cultures included organ meats in their diet during and after pregnancy. It makes perfect sense, since it provides many important nutrients for pregnancy & postpartum. It is one of the few sources of choline (an important nutrient that plays a role in fetal brain and proper neural tube development), and is also rich in iron, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D & vitamin A. ⠀ ⠀ ➡️Most doctors are not nutrition experts, so they may not provide the most accurate advice about nutrition, which is crucial for a growing baby and a mama’s health. That is why it is important to request lab tests to check for depletion! Continued⤵️⤵️⤵️ - @mothernutrient on Instagram

Happy Monday! Let’s talk about anxiety ⚡️ What isn’t talked about enough is that just as any other symptom or health related issue that arises, with anxiety our body is speaking to us. Whether your anxiety is brought on by specific stressors or seems to be non specific and ever present, there is a health picture painted inside your body and accompanied by other symptoms. There is ALWAYS a root cause. This is not everything but a great deal of the root causes (likely a combination of what is listed above) contributing to your experience of magnified and prolonged anxiety that doesn’t seem to end or be alleviated. I went through a whole host of prescription anxiety medications when I was a kid and to no avail did they “heal me”. My pediatrician never spoke about things as these root causes. I always felt there was something inherently wrong with me which I know our health care system has a habit of doing to many of us! And let me tell you this is simply not the case... you are a beautiful and extraordinary human and it is your INHERENT RIGHT to feel healthy and achieve the picture of health you desire. Once I learned to HEAL the root causes of my symptoms, I feel like a million bucks. While working on all of these things, I woke up one day and the anxiety just seemed to disappear. Remember though it is not that simple and this is a healing PROCESS. What I can tell you is that there are so many little things in your life that may seem minuscule that are definitely contributing to your anxiety. Overall four major things are true in terms of lessons we can learn from the body when it comes to anxiety... 🤍The body is experiencing inflammation in some way shape or form somewhere or everywhere. 🤍The body is deficient in proper sleep, various nutrients and minerals. (If you want to learn something really cool and important google the “glymphatic system” newer research your brain’s way of clearing out toxins during sleep and highly connected to disease pathology) 🤍The body is stressed and overstimulated due to routine or major life stressors. 🤍The gut, endocrine system, or any other major organ or organ system is disrupted. - @theholistic.honey on Instagram

Nutrition can help low progesterone! Let me break it down for you; every time you ovulate, the little place on your ovary where the egg used to live transforms into a special gland called the corpus luteum. (I hate that name and it reminds me of the word “corpse” but I digress…) This miracle gland begins secreting progesterone! A vital hormone that fluffs the lining of your uterus into a soft little bed for baby to land. It also closes up your cervix and thickens the mucus barrier between your uterus and the outside world, keeping baby in and germs out! 🙌🏻 Beyond this, progesterone relaxes muscles, boosts metabolism, and does way more things than I could list here to your brain, breasts, skin, GI tract, and more!🥰 If you’re not ovulating regularly or if that little corpus luteum gland can’t make enough progesterone, cue sad trombone music and the list of symptoms I shared above😢 Oh but here’s the other b*tch about progesterone: it can be great one day and total crap the next! Singular blood tests don’t mean sh*t, really. You can test 100% fine and your levels can promptly tank in a few short hours. This is why I ❤️ DUTCH Cycle Map tests! These beautiful tests show your levels progesterone over many many days, detailing exactly how and when it rises and falls! This information makes low progesterone SO TREATABLE! If you have any of the symptoms listed above, don’t fear, sister!

DO YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RHYTHM AND FAM? 🤷🏽♀️ 🗓The rhythm method is based on the calendar (it’s what you’re doing when using a phone app that “predicts” ovulation and your period). The problem with this method is that it’s not customized to you, maybe you’re not one of the small group of individuals that ovulate on the 14th day of each cycle. It may be a helpful method if your cycles are extremely regular and you ovulate at the same time every month. However, even healthy women have variations when they ovulate month to month. If you don’t have a precisely timed cycle each month you may not know when or IF you’re even ovulating. 🌡The FAM (fertility awareness method) is based on your personal data and encourages body literacy as you get to know your body, your cycle, and your signs and symptoms. This method uses three signs from your body to track your cycle: your cervical mucus, your cervical position and a rise in your basal body temperature reading. Using all of these symptoms allows you to accurately predict, track, and confirm ovulation which can help you maintain your fertility if using this method to avoid pregnancy or it can be used to accurately predict ovulation if you’re TTC #healthycycle #womenshealth #womensupportingwomen #ovulation #anovulatorycycle #PCOS #periodhealth #hormones #fertility #infertilityawareness #bodyliteracy #BBT #menstrualcycle #ovulation #OPK #TTC #cycletracking #PCOSawareness #irregularcycles #PMS #FAM - @wellwomennutrition on Instagram

I’m having a moment today when I’m not feeling sick enough. I feel like a fraud. I miss the body I had in March that matched my brain. I’m confused and anxious. And so I wrote something for myself that I think might be helpful to share. Read this when you feel that you aren’t “sick enough” (whatever the hell that is🙄) ⤵️ Everyone with an eating disorder struggles with the feeling that they are not sick enough. The problem is, the “sick enough” people are dead. They lost weight and hit whatever number was too low for their body and their heart gave out, or they engaged in a different behavior and their electrolytes got out of whack and their heart stopped. Think about it—really stop and think of when you first started engaging in behaviors. You probably didn’t feel like they were bad enough, and you continued to use them because you were chasing some elusive feeling that you still haven’t gotten because you continue to engage in behaviors. You told yourself that at some point you were going to stop because you would finally be “sick enough” for your eating disorder. Has that happened yet? Likely, it hasn’t, and maybe you’re telling yourself that you feel a little bit better than you used to (I know I did!) and maybe that’s true, but it’s still not enough for you’re eating disorder and it never will be. So take this as your sign. You are sick enough. You deserve help. You are worthy of recovery. ——————————- Let me know your thoughts on feeling “sick enough” down below. Did you ever feel like you hit it? Is it something you struggled with?⤵️ - @plantfully.maddie on Instagram
Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. ⠀ A couple days ago, I posted a post about how to recognize some easy-to-miss warning signs of suicide so that when people recognize them in their loved ones or community members, they can reach out and intervene. 🗣 ⠀ However, checking in on our loved ones and sharing crisis line numbers is not all that we can do. Suicide, like many mental health issues, can be prevented by reducing some of the systemic and societal barriers to emotional wellness. Systemic and societal changes such as being able to access healthcare, the reduction of stigma in society, and anti-oppressive stances from institutions to individuals, often have a trickle-down effect and can help prevent suicide by helping individuals regain a sense of hope. ⠀ There’s certainly more ways to prevent suicide that I haven’t mentioned. Today, I challenge you to pledge to start working towards one thing - whether big or small - that might help prevent suicide. This may be anywhere from changing your language (i.e. not using phrases like “I’d rather kill myself” as a joke) to advocating for alternatives to our criminal justice system/incarceration. ⠀ Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, and this month is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, but suicide prevention is a goal that we, as a society, need to be working towards beyond the month of September. ⠀ What are some other ways we can prevent suicide, on either the individual, interpersonal, community, or systemic level? ⠀ (Please check out my fellow members of @thealliedminds.co, @acutepsychotic and @akostherapy who both have wonderful posts on ways to prevent suicide - from the individual level to the systemic level. They both have inspired me to think more from a systemic lens about suicide prevention and were the inspirations for this post. ✨) - @themindhealthspot on Instagram

The power of mindful thinking is amazing 👌🏼Telling yourself you can’t do this, it’s often coupled with the assumption that your efforts as a parent will not be rewarded. It’s creates an invisible wall, by telling yourself you can’t do something, you are already set up for failure leaving us feeling overwhelmed. 😰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Shine through with a positive perspective change! 🙌🏼 Begin to start your days with the a positive/growth mindset that new lessons you’ve learned and moments you’ve shared are personal to your family. Instead of telling yourself that you can’t do it or focusing on the specific outcome, try flipping your thinking to reflect the positivity that every day can have a new lesson and that you will grow from it! 🌞⠀ ⠀ #Trehausco #PostiveVibes #GrowthMindset - @trehausco on Instagram

⚠️Gut health is critical to good health.⚠️ . Since your digestive tract is where most of your immune cells are and where you absorb your nutrients, it makes sense that improving gut health can improve health across the whole body. . Improving gut health can help alleviate symptoms such as ✨acne ✨anxiety ✨autoimmune conditions ✨brain fog ✨fatigue ✨joint & muscle pain ✨chronic headaches & migraines and more . The 5-R Protocol was developed by the Institute of Functional Medicine for healing digestive conditions and improving overall gut health. 🌱REMOVE: create a process to remove anything that could be irritating to the gut such as food, stress, medications, toxins, infections, parasites, etc. . 🌱REPLACE: Replace digestive secretions by adding back things like digestive enzymes, hydrochloric acid and bile acids that are required for proper digestion. These may be compromised by diet, drugs, diseases, aging, or other factors. . 🌱REINOCULATE: Help beneficial bacteria flourish by taking in probiotic foods or supplements and by consuming the high soluble fiber foods that good bugs like to eat, called “prebiotics.” . 🌱REPAIR: Help the lining of the GI tract repair itself by supplying key nutrients often in short supply in a disease state, such as zinc, antioxidants (e.g. vitamins A, C, and E), fish oil, and the amino acid glutamine. . 🌱REBALANCE: Pay attention to lifestyle choices. Sleep, the way you approach and eat food, your emotions, exercise and stress can all affect the GI tract. . Our functional practitioners can help create a gut health recovery plan for you.

Let’s play a little game shall we….🧠 How many of these things above could you cross out that need some Vitamin R (Rest, Recovery, Relaxation) and how many of these things are habits you just don’t want to but truly need to change… Migraines and headaches are one of our body’s many amazing ways to communicate with us and alert us when something is off or needed👍🏻 I won’t lie to you, I can almost G U A R A N T E E that these are some of the MAJOR causes of your migraines and headaches. My personal recommendation: pick and choose the habits that you need to change and the things you may need to heal and get to work! I suffered with chronic migraines for a very long time in college. For me, it was a mix of diet, abuse of Adderall, anxiety, dysfunctional elimination pathways, poor posture and seating (still is), stress and anxiety, and let’s be real sugar and alcohol. I never thought I could figure out what was causing it but it was truly right in front of my eyes. I know it can be a frustrating process, but healing is never just easy. I can promise that it is worth it. Try being your own detective (and or get health from a health care professional) before just ignoring it and reaching for the advil. Some alternatives to utilizing Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs - for example advil) ⚡️tart cherry juice sans sugar ⚡️tart cherry capsules - @tb12sports sells great ones I always have on hand ⚡️@Leefyorganics most amazing and also delicious tincture on the market ⚡️HYDRATION ⚡️Infrared Sauna Session ⚡️Arnica ⚡️Fish Oil Products Disclaimer: This information is purely for your education and to help you look further into healing on your own. I am not yet a medical professional (woo less than 3 years though) and this is not in any way medical advice. Consult your physician immediately if symptoms do not subside or are extremely severe. - @theholistic.honey on Instagram
