Survival Tools

Here’s some survival tools I use:
1. Cut yourself a break. No shaming/bashing myself over how I “should” feel or what I “should” be doing.
2. Accept where you are. I admit this is probably my biggest struggle, but when I CAN accept where I am in a down place I find love for myself and do positive things to help it pass.THIS IS NOT FOREVER!
3. Reach out. Ask for HELP. I know, this is hard to do when you’re in “the pit of despair.” Trust me, one text, phone call, conversation can change everything.
4. Be KIND to yourself. Take a shower. Eat a healthy meal. Read a favorite book. Watch something that makes you laugh. Play your favorite music. Take a walk or do stretches. DRINK WATER.
5. Give yourself permission to feel your feelings. Know “this too, shall pass.”
