things to focus on in the new year❆𐙚

⸙ prioritizing regression and coping! if you have found a way of coping that works for you, make sure to use it when you need. its okay to take time to cope, whether its needed a little bit or if its needed every day.

⸙ letting go! its okay to let go of things that make you feel bad, and that gives you the space to let better things into your life that will make you happy instead! 🌨️

⸙ sometimes it can feel really hard to regress and also feel productive. watching a documentary (i love nature ones), or watching something safe and educational can help you feel better about being productive while having little time aswell.

⸙ take the end of wintertime chill to do some indoor regression activities! drawing, journaling, watching shows, baking & cooking (if you dont think you can safely use kitchen tools while regressed, look into "no-bake" or simple recipies!) ☃️

little ways to help with seasonal depression ❆🕯

⸙ regress when you need! it's always important to listen to yourself and do whatever you feel is right to feel better. ⛸️

⸙ STAY WARM!! make sure you bundle up! hats, gloves, scarves, blankets! (if those things cause sensory issues, try things like pocket hand-warmers or earmuffs)

⸙ eat & hydrate! the cold affects energy, keep that energy up by fueling your body the way it deserves. ☕

⸙ try to do seasonal things to get excited for winter! cartoons, regression all bundled in blankets, plan for holidays.

⸙ get your sunlight in! 🌟

⸙ do not be afraid to ask for support, winter is a tough time for a lot of people!
