I don't have anything particularly innovative to say. I just want to remind you that it's okay and safe to:

• ask for help

• say, "No!"

• take time for yourself

• ask for clarification

• stay silent

• speak up

• look after yourself

• remove yourself from situations without a reason

• play

• sing

• laugh

• dance

• believe in something bigger

• eat chocolate

• go to movies by yourself

• yell in the forest

• have a tantrum

• watch cat videos

• day dream

• share your ideas

• do less

• love yourself more

• start from where you are, even if it means taking offensively small steps

• cry

• flail

• hug

• touch

• ask for more

• ask for what you want

• have a messy kitchen (except if you're a restaurant - then you better clean that up!)

• do crafts

• say, "Thank you!"

• wish on stars

• look at the moon

• read books for fun

• take the stairs

• walk more

• declutter

• slow down

• meditate

• pray

• forgive yourself

• try something new

• ask for less

• renegotiate

• change your mind

• be vulnerable

• dress up

• put your phone down

• eat for your best body

• turn yourself on

• let go

• not give up

• make money doing what you love

I'm not saying you HAVE to do these things, but I'm jussay'n you CAN.
