i am once again holding back tears while mentally repeating a little is better than nothing
i highly recommend for women and girls to be intellectually curious and difficult to shame

is this what growing up is? just leaving things behind, over and over?

Things that did wonders for my mental health:
- having enough sleep and a fixed sleeping and waking time ( at least on the weekdays)
- starting my day with gratitude (things to be grateful for: being alive, having a body, a mind, a soul, health, family, friends, food and water, safety, a roof over your head, your education, your job, your free time… seriously there is so much to be grateful for) and praying for my family’s wellbeing
- any type of movement - it can be as light or as intense as you’d like it to be: stretch in bed, hop on your yoga mat, go for a walk, go to the gym…
- showering = instant rebirth
- diligently doing your skincare routine
- nourishing your body. no counting calories/ no restricting. feeding your body all the nutrients it needs to function
- making a to-do list in the morning
- journaling at night
- reading before bed
- doing a monthly habit tracker
- having enough time to get ready in the morning and not rushing
- checking in with your loved ones weekly
- listening to podcasts - especially motivational and uplifting ones
- learning something new everyday - never underestimate the power of those 4- 8 minutes educational videos on youtube
- doing yoga
- allowing myself to make mistakes

If you have no other option, you will succeed.
“I’ll figure it out” is a powerful statement. Yes, you may not know what to do next or where to even begin… but you are ready and willing to do what it takes. You will in fact figure it out.
