this is good advice. I do this too.

my advice is microgoals h/t @billloden.bsky.social - struggling a lot? miserable world got you down? make, then celebrate your microgoals.

hooray for getting out of bed! congrats for brushing your teeth! did you eat a food? good job! Microgoals 🥳
My advice is: lip balm in EVERY bag, drawer, and coat pocket. If you find yourself having to transfer lip balm from one coat to another, you don’t have enough. It takes a while to achieve lip balm homeostasis but it’s worth it. (Same goes for pocket packs of Kleenex.)
