Check in with yourself
Before doing anything else, take a moment and notice how you're actually feeling.
Ask yourself:
What does my body need?
What does my mind need?
What would make today feel a little easier?
Don't worry about finding the perfect answer.

Listening to yourself counts as taking care of yourself.
Do one kind thing
Taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated.
Ask yourself:
What’s one small thing that would feel good or make today a little easier?
Maybe it’s making a drink you enjoy.
Going outside for a few minutes.
Putting on some music.
Messaging someone you like.
Or simply doing nothing for a while.
Pick one thing and do it without turning it into another task to complete.
Kind counts, even when it’s small.
Take ten for yourself
Taking care of yourself doesn’t always need a purpose.
Give yourself ten minutes that belong to nobody else.
No work.
No chores.
No catching up.
No need to make the time “useful”.
Make a drink. Sit somewhere comfortable. Go outside. Listen to music. Read a few pages. Or simply do nothing.
The only rule is that you don’t turn it into another task.
Ten minutes. Yours.
That counts too.
