Change can be hard. Taking care of yourself is a change that's worth the work.

Create something for no practical purpose such as a song, a poem, an essay, a painting, a drawing, a comic strip, a collage, etc.

Help is out there. Ask for it if you need it.

Don’t skip sleep to get things done.

Self-care is ongoing. It's not a one and done fix for everything. Take care of yourself today, and tomorrow, and the next day.

Sometimes it's about the little steps. Brush your teeth. Wash your face.

You have permission to take a break.

You don't have to watch the news today.

At the end of the day remind yourself that you did the best you could today, and that is good enough. ~ Lori Deschene

Take a nice long shower or bath. Let the water loosen your muscles and your mind.

Sometimes when it's hard to keep up, it's a better use of your energy to pause instead.

Set aside time for a hobby. Gardening, drone building, knitting, do something for the pure pleasure of it.

Take a few minutes to do something just because it makes you happy.

Are the tools you're using working for you? What needs to change?

Indulge your creativity by drawing, painting, sculpting, etc, even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

Ask for help when you need it. It sounds simple, but trying to handle everything without help causes stress and anxiety for a lot people.

Consider unfollowing that person that always leaves you feeling worse about things.

Remember to take care of yourself. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

You can turn off the news and sign off social media for a bit. It's okay.
