Hello! I made you something.
A seasonal postcard made up of some gentle reminders that can be easy to forget in all the hustle and bustle of this season.
I hope this offers permission for anything that you need. I hope this helps bring you back to yourself in a way that can be (too) easy to lose track of these days. I hope this makes things feel a little lighter. I hope it makes peace feel more possible and joy feel more accessible right now.
And donโt worry. This is not yet another list you have to mentally juggle or memorize.
If youโd like to keep it visible, just download the image and save it to your desktop. Or print it and pin it up on your fridge.
You can also download it (in a few different color themes) as a phone screen or share it as an instagram story or post:

*Do these Reminders look familiar? They were originally introduced during Camp AweGust Orientation. Iโve adapted them slightly and added in a few that feel relevant for this season.
My favorite is "opting out is a good option" - I've been practising that, and it really does help!
