being snowed in also means treating yourself to a warm breakfast and tea! hope you’re all stayin’ cozy & safe ☕️

Drink some tea or coffee, whatever pleases you. Notice every sip.

Have some fresh fruit and finish breakfast feeling full.

Stand outside and feel the air. Cool or warm, it will make you feel real.

Get some exercise. Yoga to soothe, running to breathe, lifting for strength.

Take care of your body. Have a nice shower and pamper as much as you want afterward. 

If you’re going to work, remember you have the chance to make anyone’s day or to ruin it. Act accordingly. 

Weed out the bad language. It’s only creating tension in your body and mind. Kind words are infinitely more appreciated.

Take some time each day to improve your mind. Keep reading that great book. Listen to an incredible piece of music. Practice an instrument or a skill. The progress is its own reward.

Pictures will help you remember how wonderful life is. But spend less time on your phone and more time seeing the world face to face. 

Go to sleep knowing that you have done well. Tomorrow is there with room to become even better.

I bought myself a Van Gogh book 

my new book, “Where We Diverge,” is a collection of poetry exploring landscapes, cycles of nature, mental illness, love, loss & the connection we as humans have with the world around us. if you’d like to read these poems & support my work, you can find it on amazon or message me to pre-order it directly (i’ll have copies to ship in 2 weeks; i recieve more of the proceeds if you order it from me, but i would love for the book to reach you in any way possible)! if you can’t buy a copy, it would mean a great deal if you’d share to get to word out. thanks & much love. x
