[video id: A 44 second video from instagram user @/maryspodcast of two woman sitting in front of mics, filming for a podcast. A woman in a blue jumper, presumably Mary, does much of the talking while a woman in a green jumper occasionally nods and smiles encouragingly. The video was uploaded with closed captions. Transcription as follows:
“My most, um, viral video last year…I thought it was silly…Never expected it to, like, pop off. It’s called 14 questions to ask yourself if you’re stressed, stuck, or in a clusterfuck. And the questions are:
1. Is my belly full?
2. Is my bladder empty?
3. Have I seen the sun?
4. Have I told the truth?
5. Have I touched a living creature?
6. Did I put my pen to paper?
7. Am I drinking enough water?
8. Am I giving myself grace?
9. Or at least a little extra rest?
10. If I sit up tall, and unclench my jaw, stretch my neck, relax my face, does it feel a little better?
11. Can I say one kind thing for me to me?
12. Whatever happens, who do I want myself to be?
13. What if this was easy?
14. What if I'm okay?
And that has millions of views. I wrote this because i’m going back to just like basic [peach emoji] self care.”
