Reblog If You're Okay With People Just Sending In Random Asks. Mutual Or Someone You've Never Interacted

There was never any more inception than there is now,

Nor any more youth or age than there is now,

And will never be any more perfection than there is now,

Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.

-We Contain Multitudes (Sarah Henstra)/ Walt Whitman

types of healthy coping skills

1. self-soothing

comforting yourself through the 5 senses

Touch: stuffed animals, stress balls, taking a bath, a soft blanket

Hear: music, audio book, guided relaxation

See: snow globe, glitter, calming images, art, anything that pleases you visually 

Taste: tea, mints, gum

Smell: lotion, candles, incense 

2. distraction

removing your focus from the stressor for a period of time

puzzles, art, crafting, reading, movies, gaming, exercise, being social

3. opposite action

doing the opposite of the impulse that aligns with a positive emotion

affirmations, inspiration, lighthearted and encouraging focus

4. emotional awareness

identifying and constructively expressing what you’re feeling

journaling, listing emotions, using a emotional identification chart, drawing, therapy

5. mindfulness

centering and anchoring yourself to the present moment

meditation, guided relaxation, yoga, breathing exercises, candle gazing, going for a walk

6. ask for help

this is important to do when you feel like your coping skills are not enough or they are too negative and detrimental  

therapy is ideal for helping a person create a healthy coping strategy and incorporate it into their life 

*a coping skill is considered healthy if it helps you to deal with stress more positively, does not hinder your progress, and isn’t harmful physically or mentally. A coping skill can become negative when it is used to completely avoid dealing with the stressor. 

"This thing between us didn’t start with us dating. It didn’t even start when you kissed me. You’re in me so deep, I wouldn’t know how to dig you out. I may get fed up with you … But, Simon, I’ll never get tired of you.”

-Baz, Any way the wind blows, Rainbow Rowell.

The satisfying moment when you realise that both male and female leads got to kill the villain in The King: Eternal Monarch drama.

"A broken heart made a fine weapon, for its pieces were exceptionally sharp."

#Alec comforting #Jace. #Jalec #parabatai #shadowhunters

Every BL fangirl be like:

Alec. Whenever he was with Magnus, that inner wonder at the enormity of love, how the joy of it was so intense it was nearly tinged with pain.

-The lost book of White (Cassandra Clare and Wesley Chu)

I absolutely enjoyed this book. It has a lot of fun and adventurous elements and packed with so much love and twists that keeps you hooked till the end. Cassie and Wesley chu captured the family love really well. Malec were so adorable. Oh yes! You'll meet tmi, tid, tdi characters too!

I rate it 4.8/5

Highly recommended for all Malec and Shadowhunters fans.

They're such a great cast. This reunion made me want to watch the show again.
