aw, sweetheart, you're not feeling well today? okay, hm, let's try a few things and see if they make you feel a little better, okay?
⋆ have you taken your meds today? if not, please do so. your body might be upset because it doesn't have its medicine!
⭒ drink some water! even just a little can make a huge difference.
⋆ eat something! it doesn't have to be a big meal. a small snack is good, too! getting any kind of fuel in your tummy is better than no fuel at all.
⭒ clean yourself up! a shower or bath can help you relax and feel fresh. if you don't have the energy or motivation for that, it's okay! there's many other ways you can freshen yourself up: brush your hair, brush your teeth, wash your face, put on deodorant, use dry shampoo, wipe yourself down with a wet rag or baby wipes, put on lotion, etc.
⋆ move around! take a walk outside, pace around your room, dance to music you love (you could play a fun game like just dance!), play a game like tag or soccer, or even just stretch while you're in bed! both your body and mind will thank you for getting some movement in.
⭒ tidy your space up! you don't have to do a full deep cleaning of your room. picking up a few things and putting them away is just as good. a cleaner space can improve your mood a ton!
⋆ talk to someone! it can be anyone: a friend, a family member, a partner, a caregiver, or even someone new. talk about your interests, a show, the weather, or whatever else you feel like! having someone to talk to can make you feel less lonely and a lot happier.
⭒ do something that makes you happy! you can enjoy a hobby you love, or try a new hobby. you could watch a movie, read a book, or play a game. whatever you want, kiddo!
⋆ get some sleep! having a consistent bedtime and getting over 8 hours of sleep is very important for a little mind like yours. you can always grab your favorite stuffies and take a nap during the day. they'd love to cuddle with you while you get some rest!
i hope you feel better soon, sweetheart!
