Look out the window
Count each little star
Slow your breathing
Close your eyes
Count to ten
Count to a hundred
Go for a walk
Take in the scene
Smell the flowers
Touch the petals
Listen to the birds
Hear their song
Embrace some lyrics
Dance to a beat
Put pen to paper
Find a new favorite book
Let out some tears
Cuddle with a stuffed animal
Attain a new best friend
One with two legs or four
Rediscover an old one
Talk to someone, anyone
Talk to yourself
Cook a masterpiece
Cook a disaster
Paint a work of art
Or just fingerpaint
Pull out the yoga mat
Go to a gym
See if you have a green thumb
Or if you are a seamstress
Attend a movie
Watch an old favorite
Play a video game
Discover a new hobby
String together a piece of jewelry
Cross your legs and meditate
Try a new hairstyle
Get a tattoo
Start a blog
Write in a journal
It’s hard; I understand,
Believe me I’ve been there
But it’s so worth it
So do something,
Anything
When you feel you can’t go on…
