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!

Check in with yourself a few times each day and take a moment to process your thoughts and emotions. Don’t let them build up.

Breathe.

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

Pause and rest your eyes for a moment.

Stop and stretch your body however you can.

You have permission to take a break.

Comparison is the thief of joy. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Try to memorize one constellation you don’t already know and find it in the sky tonight.

Try writing a page or two of your thoughts down first thing in the morning.

Self care is not a waste of time. Self care makes your use of time more sustainable. ~ Jackie Viramontez

Build a blanket fort. Seriously. Oh, and do not bring your phone into it.

Listen to a podcast about something that interests you that you haven’t yet explored.

Pick your clothes up off the floor and put them in the hamper.

It's okay if you need to write down a checklist or put a reminder on your phone to make sure you do self care daily.

Play for a few minutes. Doodle, learn solitaire, fold a paper airplane, do something fun.

Take care of yourself so you can keep being awesome.

Schedule time for yourself. Put it on your calendar.

Take a small break from the screen.

Take breaks. Set a timer if you have to so you don't forget.

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