it’s an ✨art✨ 🎨🖌️ eldest daughter syndrome is a term used to describe the emotional weight that first-born daughters often carry. it commonly refers to constantly feeling responsible for others, needing to overachieve, people-pleasing, and struggling with anxiety. many may also feel like they never had freedom growing up and/or had to act as a “parent” to their younger siblings. as adults, this can translate into difficulty establishing boundaries, lack of emotional expression (due to suppression in childhood), perfectionism, and identity formation challenges. 🔍 how to cope with the mental load that eldest daughter syndrome brings: 1. set boundaries 🚫: understand what your limits are and learn to say no! it’s important to respect your own limits when it comes to your personal life vs. family responsibilities. 2. delegate responsibilities 🫵: don’t feel pressured to do everything yourself. delegate tasks to those around you, when possible, to help relieve the stress that they can create. 3. prioritize self-care 💆🏻‍♀️: intentionally set time aside to engage in activities that help you relax and reset. how are you going to take care of others and your responsibilities if you can’t take care of yourself first? remember that self-care doesn’t have to be extravagant—it can look like reading, exercising, or even listening to music in your car for 5-10 minutes before heading in to school/work/home. ✨while your journey as an eldest daughter is part of your identity, it does not define you. nurture your strengths, take care of your well-being, and continue growing into the amazing person you’re destined to become!✨ #eldestdaughtersyndrome #eldestdaughter #firstborn #firstborndaughter #mentalhealth #clinicalpsychology #psychology #mentalhealthawareness

who else is guilty of doom scrolling late at night 🙋🏻‍♀️ “revenge bedtime procrastination” is a term used to describe when we feel like our days are so packed that we barely have time for ourselves. in an effort to regain our “me” time, we end up sacrificing our sleep at night in order to do the things that we wish we could’ve done during the day (i.e., watch Netflix, scroll through social media, etc.). in other words, this is our way of getting “revenge” for not having control of our daytime hours 😵‍💫 ✨ here are some tips to help: 1. schedule breaks throughout your day—even if it’s only 5-10 minutes 2. swap your phone for a book 3. engage in mindfulness practices before bed (i.e., meditation, stretching, showering, etc.)

sometimes it’s just the best way to convey the vibes w my clients 🤷🏻‍♀️
