Change can be hard. Taking care of yourself is a change that's worth the work.
Do you have a small daily ritual? Something you do just for you?
Be gentle with yourself. I love you!
It's okay to go to bed early.
Don't forget that everybody is different! These toots are just suggestions - take the ones you think might help and leave the rest. Be kind to yourself.
Take breaks. Set a timer if you have to so you don't forget.
Water is good for you year round. If you're thirsty, you're dehydrated.
You don't need fancy pens or notebooks to keep a journal and it might help to put your thoughts down somewhere.
Take a break before you need it. It will make it easier to prevent burnout.
Go get a drink of water. Stay hydrated!
Indulge your creativity by drawing, painting, sculpting, etc, even if you don’t think you’re good at it.
