This isn’t therapy (and it will still help our mental health)…

- Reading for pleasure, instead of “fixing ourselves”
- Muting, unfollowing, taking a social media break
- Making, building, creating something tangible
- Mindfully brushing our teeth, showering, eating - focusing on basics
- Crying, releasing stress hormones through tears
- Writing, journaling, giving thoughts a place to exist (outside of our head)
- Listening to music that makes us feel something
- Stretching, going for a walk, moving body for joy purposes
- Intentionally doing nothing. No distractions, allowing for boredom
- Talking, deeply connecting with a loved one

Two stand out for me; crying to release cortisol (I released some Cortisol yesterday, Lol. Just needed to take the lid of the proverbial boiling pot for a moment), and deeply connecting with a loved one (a couple of treasured friends have moved away and I am missing them, deeply. Must re-connect). Just sayin’ :) Hugs and hang in there… (It’s tough out there, isn’t it?) XO

Blessings,
