Feel them hard and strong
Feel sad when you’re sad
Feel mad when you’re mad
Make space for joy to come through
Don’t make yourself suffer, let them pass
Make lists of gratitude
Feel the sunshine
Move your body
Cuddle with a stuffie, an animal, a person
Eat nourishing food
Eat sugary fun food
Treat yourself as if you are your own child, and you are your own mother.
Be tender with yourself.
It might take time, dear, but the light always comes back.
