From Surviving to Thriving

🌿 Learning to Trust Yourself Again 🌿

One of the toughest battles after surviving a toxic relationship is learning to trust the voice within. Years of manipulation, gaslighting, and self-doubt can leave us questioning every instinct, feeling as though our own judgment is the enemy.

But here’s the truth: You are stronger and wiser than you realize. 🦋

Healing isn’t just about moving forward; it’s about reconnecting with that inner guidance that was silenced. It’s about giving yourself permission to trust your gut, to believe in your worth, and to recognize that YOU are your own safest place.

🔹 Start Small: Begin by making little decisions without second-guessing yourself—whether it’s what to wear or how to spend your evening. These small acts of self-trust add up.

🔹 Celebrate Wins: Every time you trust your gut and it turns out well, acknowledge it. These moments are your mind’s way of saying, “See? You’ve got this.”

🔹 Forgive Yourself: Rebuilding trust takes time, and it’s okay if you sometimes feel unsure. Self-compassion is key.

🔹 Remember Your Resilience: You’ve survived so much already. You are capable of creating a life built on trust, love, and self-respect.

With every step, you’re not just learning to trust yourself again—you’re creating a foundation for a life where you thrive.

💚 Keep going, you’re worth it.💚

🌿Toxic Friendships: When Letting Go Is a Form of Self-Care🌿

Not all friendships are meant to last, and that’s okay. Sometimes, the people we hold close can drain us emotionally, making us feel small, unsupported, or misunderstood. Toxic friendships can be just as harmful as toxic romantic relationships, and it’s crucial to recognize when it's time to set boundaries or walk away.

If you constantly feel like you're giving more than you're receiving, or if someone’s energy brings you down, it might be time to reevaluate that friendship. Letting go isn’t a failure—it’s an act of self-love and healing. 💖

You deserve friendships that uplift, encourage, and nourish your soul. Surround yourself with people who celebrate your growth, not those who undermine it. 🌟

🔥 💥Healing is Angry💥 🔥

No one talks about the rage. The kind that makes your chest tighten and your heart race. The kind that sometimes feels too big to bear, so intense it scares you. 😔

It’s the anger at the one who hurt you… but more than that, it’s the anger at yourself.💯

🖤The hard pill to swallow🖤 is knowing you allowed it. That you stayed, gave too many chances, and let your boundaries be shattered.

And that’s the hardest part—🌿accepting that you played a role🌿 in your own pain.

‼️It’s okay to feel this rage.‼️ Let it burn.💥 Let it scream. 💥

This is part of healing. 🌿 You’re releasing years of buried emotion, things you never felt safe enough to express. ✨️But remember:✨️ You didn’t deserve any of it. You’re not to blame for their cruelty.

What matters now is what you do with this rage. It can consume you, or it can fuel your rise. 🖤

🌿Use it to build stronger boundaries, to ✨️never✨️ let yourself be treated like that again. Let your anger be the fire that forges a stronger version of you.💥

You’re healing, and sometimes healing feels like rage. That’s okay. You’re still moving forward.

💭 **"If you don't appreciate the people in your life today, you won't have them tomorrow."** 💭

We often get so caught up in our own struggles and distractions that we forget the importance of the people who stand by us. 🌸

✨ Take a moment to appreciate the ones who support you, listen to you, and love you even on your worst days. It’s easy to take them for granted, but remember—tomorrow is never promised, and neither are they.

💖 Cherish the ones who light up your life. Show them how much they mean to you *today*, because those relationships are what truly carry us through the hard times.

📌 **Tag someone you appreciate below and let them know they're valued!** 🫶

💔 When the Past Still Haunts You... 💔

You've left the narcissist, but the battle doesn't end there. Triggers can sneak up on you like shadows in the night... 😔

💥 A simple sound. 💥 A familiar phrase. 💥 A place that once felt like home.

Suddenly, you're back in a moment you thought you'd escaped. 🌪️ The panic. The fear. The doubt. It all rushes back.

But hear this: You are not broken. You’re healing. Every trigger is a reminder of what you’ve endured and how far you’ve come. 🌱✨

🚪 You closed the door on the abuse. 🛡️ Now, it's time to build new walls around your heart—walls that keep the pain out but let the healing in.

💡 Ways to manage your triggers: 🧘‍♀️ Deep breaths. Ground yourself in the moment. 📝 Journal your emotions—let it all out. 💖 Talk to someone who understands your journey.

And remember, it’s okay to stumble. Healing isn’t a straight path. 🌿 Keep moving forward, no matter how small the steps.

🌸 You’re not alone in this. 🌸
