Reminder 1. The point of self care is to care for yourself, not add unnecessary shame or heighten the stakes.
Reminder 2: You can’t optimize yourself out of experiencing all pain and discomfort.
Reminder 3: There is no one size fits all fix to any problem.
REMINDER 4: Sometimes, if we’re really lucky - we will find things that can help offer guideposts through a very tricky existence.
ACTION ITEM: read, listen, watch, and pay real close attention to the things that make you feel lucky to enough to see.
ACTION ITEM: Compile a list of those anything that helps you feel seen or heard or validated. Bonus: Share it with others who you think may feel “seen” by it, too.
KEY LESSON: What’s cool about this exploration is that, when you’re always on the lookout for your humanity in others, you’ll start to see it in everything and everyone.
Until then, just let yourself enjoy the process of exploration.
