Music that grounds me
A calming playlist for anxious mornings
• A song I play when I need to cry
• My favorite uplifting artist
Things I do to reset
• Journaling my feelings with no filter
• Turning off my phone for an hour
• Taking a hot shower with music on low
My go-to comforts
• A soft hoodie or blanket
• Lighting a candle
• Watching a comfort show or movie
Mental check-ins
• “How am I really feeling right now?”
• “Do I need rest or movement?”
• A 5-minute breathing pause
Affirmations that actually help
• “I don’t have to have it all figured out.”
• “My feelings are valid, even if others don’t understand them.”
• “I’ve survived every hard day so far.”
"Trust yourself. You're survived a lot, and you'll survive whatever is coming."
