SELF CARE REMINDER

hey if ur reading this and ur in a bad spot mentally or anything i hope u feel better soon and have a good day

getting out of bed counts. if that's all you managed today, that is enough

write out everything that's in your head right now, don't edit yourself, just get it down. you'll feel better after, i promise

when did you last eat something? genuinely asking. your body runs on food and it needs some

go for a walk with no music, just you and whatever's out there. your thoughts might genuinely surprise you

i hope you sleep properly tonight. deeply, not just technically

sending you love and also some borrowed energy for whatever you've got on today

you are beautiful and i don't just mean on the outside

your body has kept you alive through every hard day you've ever had. maybe say thank you for that, because it really is doing a lot

you did something today, even if it was small. acknowledge it. your brain needs to hear you recognise your own wins

practice saying no to things that drain you. 'no' is a complete sentence and you don't owe anyone an explanation for it

if you've been holding your shoulders up near your ears, you can let them drop now. unclench your jaw while you're at it

do something kind for someone today, even just a real compliment. the effect lasts longer than you'd think

set one small boundary today. it doesn't have to be dramatic, just make it yours

read something for fun tonight. not something improving or educational, something you genuinely want to read just for yourself

whatever is happening right now is not your whole story. it's not even close to the last chapter

do the hobby. the one you keep saying you'll get back to when things settle down. things might not settle down. do it now
