When you're in college it's super easy to get lost in schoolwork and countless obligations. We are so busy that we can sometimes forget to take care of ourselves emotionally. This is a list of things that I need to remind myself on the daily.
1. Self care isn't selfish
2. Relax. Take a moment to catch your breath
3. Don't let other people define your worth
4. Your grades don't define you either
5. Try not to use your phone so much
6. Stop creeping on social media (especially when you know it'll hurt you)
7. You are blessed
8. You are loved
9. Don't take things so personally
10. Accept and learn from criticism
11. Don't put off that thing you need to do until tomorrow
12. Taking pictures is great, but it's also important to live in the moment
13. The world will not end if you go to bed before midnight
14. Or if you stay in on a Friday or Saturday night
15. Don't expect too much from people
16. The number of likes you get on Instagram doesn't mean anything
17. Set some time aside to do things you enjoy
18. Live confidently
19. Don't be afraid to get out of toxic relationships
20. You're beautiful
21. You can't change the way a person is, it never works
22. Keep up with writing a journal
23. Don't be afraid to be the first person to text
24. Find new music to listen to
25. Stop comparing yourself to others
26. God is with you
27. Always be grateful and thankful
28. Make today better than yesterday
29. Stop worrying about things you have no control over
30. Overthinking is a no
31. Everything is going to be okay
It's so important to remember that emotional health is just important as physical health. If I read this list at the beginning of each day, I would honestly have so much less stress in my life.
