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!

You have permission to take a break.

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.

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

Comparison is the thief of joy. ~ Theodore Roosevelt

Set an alarm so you remember to eat regular meals if you have a tendency to get caught up in work and forget.

Try out a new podcast. You can learn something new or just enjoy having someone tell you a story.

Wrap up in a blanket.

Restart a daily practice.

Write something encouraging on a post-it and put it where you will see it every day!

Dance break!

Stop. Take three slow deep breaths.

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

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

Self-care means something different for everyone. Do the things that will help you feel better.

You don't have to finish it all today.

Stretch.

Move your body, however you're able.

Set an alarm for 2 minutes and focus mindfully on your breathing, nonjudgmentally bringing yourself back from any distractions.

Naps are good for you.

Our bodies are our gardens to which our wills are gardeners ~ William Shakespeare
