Let's talk about affirmations. We do them ALL 👏🏼THE 👏🏼TIME 👏🏼on this podcast, so what are affirmations and how do we use them? Positive thinking and "toxic positivity" plague the territories of social media everywhere, from infographics and unassuming self-care animations, but it's easy to conflate delusion and simply ignoring your problems with positive and affirmative action. We'll clear some of that up and we'll also discuss how Queer people can use affirmations to heal their bodies and minds.
This week's poem is called "Yes" by Jess Darnell.

When we come out, it doesn’t always turn out to be a gay, rainbow-filled love-fest like we imagine. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community are often plagued by self-loathing, intimacy issues, depression, and anxiety. We’re constantly told that we should love ourselves, but how exactly are we supposed to do that?
Happy Queer Mind is an LGBTQIA+ self-help podcast hosted by actor and poet, Jess Darnell.
Each week, we'll break down common Queer issues with weekly positive affirmations, exercises, and original poetry to help change negative thought patterns, help break destructive cycles, and open up a space to support, affirm, and empower your spirit.
