Holidays with Kindness❄️

The winter holidays bring joy & challenges for mental health. Give permission to say "no" & to take breaks. Your mental peace is a gift.

Redefine "perfect" to "perfectly okay as you are."

Self-Care=Necessity, Not Luxury🛀

Self-care isn't just bubble baths. It's about setting boundaries, getting enough sleep, nourishing your body, & doing what you need to recharge your mind.💕
