Gentle Reminders - Tumblr Posts
friendly reminder that you don't need any diagnosis or disorder to adapt your routine to accommodate you! sit down in the shower. brush your teeth and wash your face in the shower. bring a chair to the kitchen while you cook. use unscented products. your routine should be built for you.
If life is a never ending loop of dirty dishes and laundry then that means life is a never ending loop of home cooked meals and comfy clean clothes

take what you need, then pass it on
Hope not for someone or something specifically, but a general kind of hope. A hope that she might one day have hope.
Deb Caletti, A Heart in a Body in the World
No matter what you have been told, what you have told yourself on your worst nights, or even who you have been. There is good in you, there is hope, there is potential
Just a Reminder: If you are struggling in any sort of recovery right now, just remember you are still making progress. Struggling doesn't mean failing, the dictionary literally defines struggling as "striving to achieve or attain something in the face of difficulty or resistance." Struggling is the exact opposite of giving up or failing, it means you are so strong that you refuse to give up. Even when it's hard, or hurts, or feels like you're not making any progress. Do you even realize how powerful that makes you? So keep struggling for as long as you need to. And don't forget to take little moments to acknowledge just how amazing you are for not giving up. đź’—

In case you are full of doubts while stumbling upon this post: You are more than your bad days. You are more than your sadness. You are more than these bad thoughts telling you that you have no purpose. You are loved. You are important. You are irreplaceable. You are so damn worthy. Nothing and no one can ever take that away from you.

Some steps need to be taken alone. It’s the only way to really figure out where you need to be.

Its okay if you made something that didnt turn out how you wanted it to turn out, its okay to make art and to not like what you make and its okay if you're not at the skill level you thought you were or if you lost some of your skills. Creative things are not only about the results, but also about developing your ability to think creatively and the process of making itself. Im often already excited about the fact that i made something that didnt exist before, and i what i usually keep in mind is: "im not saying its good, im saying it exists."
reminders for artists
no matter what kind of art you make, whether it be music, paintings, photography, drawings, ceramics, writings, etc. you are an artist.
no matter how often you make art, you are an artist.
no matter your skill level, you are an artist.
no matter how long you've been making art, you are an artist.
no matter how old you are, you are an artist.
no matter how long it takes you to complete an artwork, you are an artist.
art is about expression. it isn't a race, competition, or anything like that.
create art that you want to create, as long as it does not harm others.
try not to compare your art to others'. try to instead compare it to your own previous artworks.
congratulate yourself on your progress.
it is okay to take breaks from making art. your health and needs come first.
