Tizzy Psychology

the vast majority of us are FANTASTIC at focusing on the gap between what we want/our goals/idealized life and our reality. the truth is that the more we do this, the more we fuel a mindset saturated in scarcity.
so, take a step back and notice where the heck you came from - where you started. notice the little changes, wins, or accomplishments that a past version of you would be so proud of.
change occurs over time, and there is always room for more — so I encourage you to practice getting acquainted with and celebrating the journey along the way.

happy hump day friends :)

i have seen firsthand the ways in which not talking about emotions during childhood can lead to difficulties with emotions in adulthood. many of us are raised in environments where emotions are not discussed or validated, and as a result, we may struggle to understand and manage our own emotions as we grow older.

when we are not taught how to identify and express our emotions, it can be difficult for us to communicate our feelings to others.
emotions that are not acknowledged or processed can build up and have negative impacts on our relationships, mental health, and self-esteem.

if this is you, you are not alone. learning to become more comfortable navigating your emotions is a process, but certainly, one worth embarking on.

this one is going out to all the high achievers and perfectionists out there.

it is important to recognize that our best effort may look different day to day and to be kind to ourselves when we don't meet our own high standards. this doesn't mean that we should settle for mediocrity or give up on our goals, but rather that we should be realistic about what we can achieve and be proud of ourselves for the progress we make, no matter how small.

if you ever notice yourself caught up in a critical mindset, here are some ideas to help pull you out.

feeling critical is so incredibly common, but also one of the most problematic tendencies that can show up during important conversations.

hope you had a lovely weekend :)
