Cheering. You. On. Pep Talk

 It’s never too late to take steps towards resetting. Never.

Cry if you have to (ain’t no shame, that tension needs an outlet for release), throw rolled up socks (but not at any living thing though, maybe at a wall or your bed), watch vids that contribute to the uplifting of your spirit (I’ve been watching a lot of The Voice and The Voice kids compilations from different countries, people's talents leave me in awe), re-read something that sparks your joy, turn up some music and dance, meditate (when I'm having problems with connecting to silence, I use mantras), stand outside in the sun for as long as you are able and just breathe, make a paper airplane or a paper boat and decorate it (you can relearn how to do it by searching online ), journal (or with the intention of getting it out of your system, pour all that tension onto a sheet or several sheets of paper and then *safely* burn it. Seriously, I can’t over emphasize the word, safely. I’m still always surprised at how quickly those flames grow and spread ).

And then, take steps to cheer yourself on. And mean it. Stuff gets hard.

Acknowledge the hard. Feel what you feel. And as soon as you’re able, take steps to gently move back to an inner equilibrium.

You’re worth all of your loving efforts. All. Of. It. Cheering. You. On.
