Self-Care

h/t to umadoshi for sharing this link: 37 Self-Care Tips For Anyone Who Is Kind of Not Okay RN. The holidays are a stressful time, even when everything is okay; if you're going through shit (financial issues, divorce, a breakup, death of a loved one, general depression/anxiety, etc) they can be even worse. I hope you guys can find something to help get through the "happiest season of all."

Definitely make time to take care of yourself, friends! ♥ ♥ ♥

EDIT: Also I have to share this poem, Questions to ask yourself before giving up and particularly the last paragraph (idk poetry, I'm sure each little section isn't actually called a paragraph) which really struck me:

Remember: you are a comma, one
beloved earring, a house
circled on a traveller’s map,
sometimes misplaced,
but never an imposition.

Everyone feels like a hallway
at some point or another.
But you are a room
that people enter to stay.


So powerful, it moves me greatly to read this.

Gooooood! Resting and relaxing are always nice and tbh completing tedious chores is its own lil reward; you were productive and a bothersome little thing is no longer hanging over your head. :3
