The Quiet Squirrel

- look at their handwriting

- read their favourite book and search for pieces of them within the pages

- listen to their music and let it resonate with you

- go to their favourite place

- stay up ‘till 3am and let them spill their heart out to you

- ask them unusual questions that you never even thought would intrigue you

- spend a day with them doing nothing

- look out for the things they subconsciously do when they’re happy

- use their body wash when you shower at the persons place (truly, you’ll feel it)

- make art with them, sitting in the silence just drawing or painting, or having deep conversations while making art, both realllyyy connect them

- spent time with their pets (but not too much because they might be jealous) - notice how they squeeze the toothpaste bottle.

- let them tell you their dreams and ask if you can look it up for them, share the results.

1. Rather than listening to the voice in your head that is screaming “I hate this; I don’t want to do this” think about why it is a GOOD thing to do.

2. Instead of trying to pretend that you don’t feel this way, accept that you are feeling very blah and negative.

3. Don’t think about results and how well you think you’ll do, as this could raise your feelings of anxiety and fear, just think about “right now” and the first thing you can do.

4. Accept that life is tough, and is full of things that suck – but recognise that doing hard stuff is better in the end. You’ll likely have more choices and freedom, if you do.

5. Just do a little bit for now – then give yourself a proper break – then go back and do some more – and soon you’ll find you’re in the flow.

1. My self worth does not depend on what others think and say about me.

2. My self worth does not depend on how I look or what I weigh.

3. My self worth does not depend on my marks or performance.

4. My self worth does not depend on my number of followers.

5. I am enough just as I am.

6. I can succeed despite a bad day.

1. They’re not easily offended, and don’t take things personally.

2. They’re accepting, non-judgmental and always want the best for you.

3. They respect others’ perspectives, needs and boundaries.

4. They listen well to others, and try to see their point of view.

5. They’re kind and understanding, warm, respectful and accepting.
