You owe yourself one hour a day of self-maintenance. It can include reading, writing, yoga, exercise, dancing, meditation, painting, or whatever, but you owe it to yourself. One hour, 1/24 of your day. That is less than 5%. It matters, it really does. Make it count.

Your anger? It’s telling you where you feel powerless. Your anxiety? It’s telling you that something in your life is off balance. Your fear? It’s telling you what you care about. Your apathy?

And if you want to get anywhere, you need to be able to let them speak to you, and tell you what you really need.

A shoutout to everyone who is trying right now… Trying to do the right thing. Trying to stay open. Trying to keep going. Trying to hold on. Trying to let go. Trying to find their flow.

I don’t want to adult today. I don’t even want to human today. Today I want to dog. I’ll be lying on the floor in the sun. Please pet me and bring me snacks.

Mental health is sooo important. If you need a day, take a day. Find something to relax you. Bubble bath, nature, writing, painting, etc. Just do it.

Do what you can, when you can, with as much love and honesty as you can, and when you can’t, rest.
