Destiny Diaries: Mind

I’ve been prioritizing my mental health for a while now by going to therapy weekly and taking my meds. I’m really grateful for not giving up on myself and putting in the work to get my mind right. I had another therapy session today and something that I want to focus on is my autonomy. I need to constantly remind myself that I have power and that I can no longer be manipulated by shame. It feels good to be responsible for myself and not have to put other’s needs first. I am my only responsibility! I’ve been an adult for a little while, but this is still new territory. It is still new to not have repercussions for putting myself first. When I was growing up, I had to constantly abandon myself to be in service of others. I’m now re-wiring my brain to not feel guilty for doing what’s best for myself and it feels good. One thing I want to do next year is go on a few solo trips. I would like to be in my own company in different settings. I want to explore and navigate the world with my freedom. What’s the point in having power and freedom if you’re too scared to use it?!

Also I just discovered the coolest luggage brand that I WILL be able to afford soon! I need to jet set in style.
