self care for a bad day:
• get out of bed and shower anyway. and get dressed. at least feel like you have gotten up today.
• turn off social media. sometimes we try use social media as a distraction, but this often distracts us from doing what we actually need to do to help ourselves.
• eat. eat something. anything. toast, crackers, a smoothie, anything. just eat. (and have a glass of water with it too, while you’re at it.)
• you should be feeling a bit better now. at the very least, you’re taking care of your body.
• get outside. take a walk, listen to some music. it’ll help ground you.
• journal. write down every single thought in your head, no matter how weird or dark or confusing. it’s exhausting holding that all in. let it out.
• read a favourite book, and let the pages comfort you.
• clean your room - this is hard, but it will improve your mood x1000.
• sometimes you just need to lie down and take a nap. no phone, just lying down.
• set up your weekly schedule. include things you can look forward to.
• make a list of your favourite things.
• take a nice, hot bath.
• talk to a sibling. you have more in common than you think.
• you don’t have to hurt yourself. it’s okay. you can be there for yourself. you know you best, and you know what calms you down, and you know what clothes make you feel best, and you know, deep down, that there are other versions of yourself rooting for you right now. your younger self, your future self; they’re watching you and they have hope in you, even if no one else does. the day will end, and it will be okay.

I was actually having the same thoughts that there are really two types of laziness: the one that could be of advantage to you in the long run and the one that could lead you closer to your doom.
“Laziness paired with intelligence could lead to the creation of efficiency.”
