May seem small or silly to some, but this list can make a difference! 19/02/2024

DEPRESSION TIPS

- Shower. Not a bath, a shower. Use water as hot or cold as you like. You don’t even need to wash. Just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. Sit on the floor if you gotta.
- Moisturize everything. Use whatever lotion you like. Unscented? Dollar store lotion? Fancy 48-hour lotion that makes you smell like a field of wildflowers?

One step at a time. 08/02/2024

Large or small, accomplishing any kind of goal can sometimes feel overwhelming as we try to reach it. Remember, making progress one step at a time can make all the difference in the world. It breaks down your goal into smaller pieces that you can handle better with less chance of frustration. Even if your goal only requires a few steps, it really feels great as you check them off one at a time.
