✨Trigger Warning/Sensitivity Warning- this clip discusses suicide✨

This is a 6 minute clip from one of my favorite episodes. I’m sending love to those who may feel alone or are struggling with feeling like they belong. Please hold on 🤎🤎

If you haven’t watched episode 12: The Seriousness of Su***de; I would love for you to just take the time out to listen! I hope I can help someone because we’ve all hard dark days and moments, some choose to express it and show it; others are in denial , don’t know or don’t want to speak up. I’m glad that I healed from this experience in my life and I hope whoever struggle(s/ed) can hold on just a little longer to see the brighter day. I made this video back in March but felt like it was relevant again. Did you watch it? What did you think? IF NOT- what’s your thoughts on this clip or topic?

We all deserve to be the best person we can possibly be. That person deserves to be loved. To be happy. To be free of negative , intrusive thoughts. To be free of unwanted or unresolved traumas. To unlearn the toxic patterns or behaviors we’ve endured. To be full of energy and light. To have enough hope to see the light.

You are not defined by any of your pain. Nobody sees you as your pain, they see that BRIGHT inner light that’s begging to come out. It’s waiting to blind your shadows. You do deserve better. You are worth it. It does get better. You’re not damaged. You’re not broken. You’re not complicated. You’re loved and cared about. You deserve to see the lightness in the dark. You deserve the best version of yourself. You do deserve to heal and rebirth 🧡

Yes! Your tone and wording matters! Stop being so “blunt” and speak with empathy and understanding!!!! (Read Below)

Do you pay attention to your key words and how you say things? Do you stop and think about HOW you’re about to ask a question or make a statement? I think it’s important to pay attention to words and phrases we use. We never know the thoughts that are traveling through another person’s mind, same as the emotions or what they’re going through. We should watch for the people we care about being triggered by the words we use.

I believe people get too caught up on “being blunt”, “brutally honest”, “the hard truth” and everything else along those lines, and I also believe a lot of people do things out of pride. For example, you can say to someone “you can’t just sit around and be upset about it all day.” Now- you may not mean it how you said it, you probably meant it in a way where you just want the person to focus on a solution or their next step. BUT since you said that exactly it can be taken as a few different things. A better choice of wording that is still HONEST and understanding is SOMETHING like “I understand this is bringing you down at the moment but I truly believe that if ____ this can help.” Now that person feels like you’re not just annoyed and impatient; you’re understanding and trying to help.

You can be honest, blunt, transparent, “real” and everything along; without being judgemental, rude, entitled, passive aggressive, shady etc.

Your words DO matter. TONE matters.

(SideNote: Use your judgement and know your friends/family. We are all different but at the same time we’re all human so please treat each other as such!) 🧡
