Breathe...and see the sunset... Drink some water...and listen to a sonnet, Dance, write a poem, if you need to, cry Get a good night's rest, draw the starry sky Go out, see some friends, and play the guitar, Feel angry if need be, it will take you far, Step away from the phone And spend some time alone Have a good old shower, a good meal and then Above everything else, let yourself ask for help, It is not cowardice to let yourself seen weak, It only shows the courage to change the life you seek.
Actually, You're it.

It's a poem I come back to when I feel ungrounded to remind myself of what recenters me. Sometimes i tend to forget, so it's good to have such a kind reminder of my self-care activities.
