Be gentle with yourself. We have lived in unprecedented times for decades, and there’s no end in sight. So please be gentle with yourself, have that extra scoop of ice cream, rewatch that favorite show. And remember that I love you.

HAVE YOU HYDRATED? EATEN? RESTED? ALLOWED YOURSELF TO UNAPOLOGETICALLY EXIST? HAD A TREAT? IF NOT, GET TO IT!

Life is a marathon, not a race. You set your own goals. You celebrate your personal achievements. You define what successful means to you, and you alone. Live loud, live soft, live how you wish.

I’m glad you are still here, that you keep waking up Find a reason to stay, whether it’s a pet, a coming movie or game, or anything at all Even the silliest reason can be strong enough Just know that I love you, I see you, and we’re in this together <3 #SuicidePreventionMonth

Sleep well tonight, my darlings. Especially since I’m under your bed. Love you. <3

There is nothing wrong with seeking comfort in the familiar, especially in this era. Yet, do not delve so deep you are no longer pay attention to the world. It is a delicate balance, so protect your boundaries while supporting your community. And remember l, I love you.

Tackling a monumental task can be overwhelming. Instead, chip away at it bit by bit. Progression is a marathon, not race.

Even in these dark times we need to remember to breathe. It does no one any good to panic. Breathe, assess, and get to it!

If we never fail we never learn. If we are perfect on the first attempt we will never understand why it worked. Failure is not a bad word, it means you tried and learned, which is better than never trying at all.

As long as you make it through the day it is a good day indeed.

Rest is self care. Binging the same show for the umpteenth time is self care. Parallel play time with friends or a partner is self care. Doing nothing but lying on the floor enjoying the quiet is self care. Everyone's self care ritual is different, do what makes you happy.

IT'S OKAY TO HAVE BAD DAYS WE NEED TO HAVE THEM SO WE KNOW WHAT A GOOD DAY LOOKS LIKE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU MADE IT THROUGH THE DAY THAT, IN THIS DAY AND AGE, IS AN ACCOMPLISHMENT

DON'T FORGET TO EAT DON'T FORGET TO HYDRATE DON'T FORGET THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN EFFICIENT MASS PRODUCING MACHINE FOR ANYONE TO GET RICH OFF OF DON'T FORGET THAT I LOVE YOU

Therapy is not a sign of weakness, but rather of strength. It takes tremendous courage to face your own personal darkness. I say this as I wait for my own therapist appointment right now. You are not alone.

DOING WORK IS PRODUCTIVE TAKING A REST IS PRODUCTIVE YOU CANNOT GIVE 100% IF YOU NEVER ALLOW YOURSELF TO FULLY RECHARGE
