Reminiscing over a spring time dessert - strawberry lemonade cupcakes 🧁 a weird way of checking in with myself , is baking. The solitary (unless I ask @TheGreatSparky for help) ritual of measuring, whisking, folding, and decorating. Best done in silence or with a podcast in the background. I visited @mentalhealthamerica website IDontmind.com and participated in one of their “Just Checking In “ questions with myself. I proceeded to ask myself if I had enough hydration today (water) which I hadn’t, so I took the time to grab a y’all glass of water and finish it. Another question they recommend we ask ourselves of others is “How have you been sleeping?” - feel free to answer or pass along. In the meantime I will continue to take some deep breaths and remind myself not to rush or over exert, and maybe bake something comforting today 🕊 #beofservice #checkinwithyourself #bemindful https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0fsPSgYpH/?igshid=19szfnlmbjrig
