Be a rebel. 🙌 Our consumer culture would have us think we’re never enough, so buy this or that and you’ll be complete. What would happen if we liked ourselves just as we are? Now that is a radical act of rebellion!

Self-care is not always bubble baths and massages. It can also be breaking large tasks down into manageable pieces, a body scan meditation, or a short walk.

Take care of yourselves, friends.

"Gratitude is a life enhancer. It makes the good moments more meaningful and fixes them in your heart. It gets you through the terrible times - not unscathed but through. Most of all, it anchors you right here, right now, where we live, and breathe, and hope, and love."

Let's remember the importance of regulating the nervous system. Breathwork, mindfulness meditation, hugs, a good cry, music, and sleep can all be helpful self-soothing practices.
