Now, gently turn your attention back to yourself. Today, we'll learn about techniques to weaken deep rumination and self-criticism. Identify rumination patterns that repeatedly replay moments of failure and shame, and reduce their control through timed thinking, externalized writing, and attention shifting. If you've ever felt suddenly powerful, full of ideas, and highly efficient at certain times, only to subsequently fall into depression, fatigue, self-blame, or withdrawal, don't rush to blame yourself. One of the difficulties of bipolar II disorder is that it often doesn't manifest as a clear, complete mania, but rather oscillates between hypomania and depression. Hypomanic phases can be misleading, making you feel good, while depressive phases can make you feel like a failure, a regression, or useless. This section is designed to help you see these changes more clearly, rather than labeling yourself more harshly. You can gently observe: Has your sleep become shorter or more irregular recently? Has your energy suddenly increased or decreased significantly? Have you become overly planned? Have you talked more? Have you become more impulsive? Or have you started to avoid, procrastinate, or repeatedly blame yourself? These are not pieces of evidence to judge you, but rather signals to help you take care of yourself sooner. In your practice, try to use recording instead of guessing, pausing instead of immediate reactions, and seeking help instead of trying to tough it out alone. If you are receiving medication or psychotherapy, please bring any changes you observe to discuss with your doctor or therapist. Do not increase or decrease your medication on your own, and do not suddenly stop care just because you feel better temporarily. Today, you only need to take one small action with you: record a change in mood, sleep, or energy, or establish a stable bedtime routine for yourself. Take it slow; stability is not achieved overnight. Every time you are willing to see yourself, protect your rhythms, and seek support, you are bringing your life back to a safer, more sustainable direction. You don't need to complete all the changes alone; real-world support can be built up gradually. Allow yourself to start with the smallest step; there's no need to rush to prove you're all better. If you're feeling a bit tired after hearing this, take a break, drink some water, and feel the ground beneath your feet.

○ Music therapy guidance

When engaging in deep rumination and self-criticism, listen to music with gentle, repetitive loops. Don't let yourself sink deeper into fragments of your thoughts; bring your attention back to the sound, your breath, and the present moment. Music acts as a boundary, reminding you that thinking has time limits. If you feel overwhelmed, first connect with reality for support. Let the music guide you back to the present. Prioritize sleep and safety. Record a bodily sensation after listening. Don't listen for too long; safety is paramount. If your emotions become significantly heightened, choose a slower sound. Take it slow.

Its refreshing taste and mild ingredients help reduce the burden on the body during stress, irritability, sleep disturbances, or mood swings.

  • loofah
  • Kelp Broth

  • Ginger shreds
  • A small amount of salt

  2. Add water, broth, or a specified liquid to a pot, and first add the ingredients that require longer cooking time.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat until tender, stirring gently as needed to avoid over-boiling.
  4. Finally, add herbs, sesame seeds, lemon, or a small amount of seasoning to keep it light and mild.
  5. After turning off the heat, let it sit for 3–5 minutes to allow the temperature to drop slightly before eating.

When preparing corn and loofah soup, first place the ingredients separately on a plate and observe their color, shape, and aroma. This process can help you gradually shift your focus from emotional fluctuations back to what you are doing. Don't strive for perfection while cooking; just slow down and breathe deeply. Before taking your first bite, remind yourself: I am gently supporting my body today with a simple meal.

If you're in a good mood today, slow down your movements; if you're in a bad mood, minimize your steps. Food is not a task, but a gentle respite for your mind and body.

○ Calligraphy and engraving therapy practice

When engaging in deep reflection and self-criticism, there are no specific requirements for the content of your calligraphy practice. Let practice be a gentle boundary, reminding yourself that thinking has a time limit. The fact that your hand is still moving means you haven't been completely swept away by your thoughts. Relax your wrist after practice. Don't strive for neatness and perfection. If you feel discomfort, please stop. Safety should be your top priority. Completing just a little today is good enough. Let your breathing gradually catch up with your movements. Don't set specific content, just focus on the rhythm. Be gentle with yourself. Take your time, don't force yourself.
