💙 A two-minute check-in for you:

Before you move on with your day, ask yourself:

Where am I?


What am I carrying?


What do I need from here?

You don’t have to fix whatever you find.

Sometimes noticing it is enough to change what you ask of yourself next.

If you’d like to share, what did your check-in help you notice today?

It’s hard to take a moment and do nothing.

My mind finds silly reasons why I should keep going.

Until I simply can’t go on anymore.

Take breaks.

Force yourself to be bored.

Your body and mind will be grateful.

Great point, Virgil! We must get used to being bored!

Jess, I like how you are normalizing checking in with yourself vs. only others as a part of often overlooked self-care. Equally important is your message is that you don't have to have all the answers and you don't have to overdo it.

Just be a bit more mindful and kind to yourself :)
