hello! this is a reminder that i'm extra helpful for techie folk in particular who need reminding to step away from their screens and take in some fresh air, but anyone can follow me. be kind to yourself!

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.

Have you taken a moment to breathe in the last hour?

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

Are you dancing with your life?

Allow yourself to enjoy each happy moment in your life. ~ Steve Maraboli

Before you start your day, take a few moments to outline the 3 most important things you need to do.

Take a nap if you need to. Set a timer.

Cleaning your space is self care, too.

Slow, imperfect progress is better than none at all.

Wrap up in a blanket.

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.

When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water. ~ Benjamin Franklin

Pick one thing that you need to do and get it done so it’s off your mental to do list.

Drink more water. The benefits are endless.

Remember, it's okay to turn off the news for a bit.

On a good day, put together a little self-care package you can pull out for bad days. Include a few things you know will help.

It's okay if you didn't get it all done today.

Take a break. Find a window and check the weather.

Breathe deeply.
