ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

i am allowed to spend my time creating things, even if they are not beautiful.

there is no such thing as a "real job." all forms of work are real and valid.

there is nothing that i need to accomplish to be worthy. i am already worthy.

i do not need to monetize my hobbies, it is enough to spend time doing something i love.

If you’re wearing a bra or a binder, take it off and take a deep breath

Put on your favourite song

Drink some water

Check on your friends, you’re not bothering them I promise

Make sure you get to sleep on time

Your bed sheets probably need changing

Can’t change them? Just brush the crumbs off

Take a deep breath

Drink some water

Relax your shoulders

Unclench your jaw

Stretch your arms and legs

Imagine your limbs becoming heavy and the stress leaving your body

If you need to cry, then cry

You’re not weak for crying, you’re strong

Read a good book or listen to a podcast

Drink some water

And most importantly:
