Poi's Comfort Pack

Everyone needs a little comfort sometimes. I want to do what I can to provide that.How can I help?

A check in, hm?
Well then, let's run through some reminders together...

- How's your breathing?
Take a moment to breathe deeply, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel your breath in the bottom of your stomach before letting it out slowly.
- Have you gotten up and about lately?
Even stretching and having a walk around the house will help. If you can get some fresh air too, that's even better!- When was the last time you had something to drink & eat?
If you haven't eaten in the last 4 hours, think about making a meal or having a snack. Get yourself a drink whilst you're at it!- Have you taken any meds you need to?
Make sure you have enough to last until you next fill your prescription!- When did you last get some rest?
Sometimes you need a nap, and if your body feels tired, listen to it and rest! Even if you can't sleep, laying down with your eyes closed, or doing some meditation, can do a world of good.- How's your living space looking?
If you have the energy, do one little thing to clean up. The space you're in can really affect your mental health -- can you take used plates out of your room, make your bed, or do some laundry?If you need a deeper list of questions and actions to help you take care of yourself, click here.Remember, you're loved, and worth loving!

Well, I hope that I could help you, at least a little. Just remember...

- You're allowed to take breaks from social media and the news. Having news on 24/7 isn't healthy, and you need to allow yourself breathing space to relax sometimes.- Try to give yourself time away from screens. Staring at a screen so much of the day has both physical and mental health detriments. Give yourself breaks.- If you're not doing well, try and reach out to someone. You're allowed to ask for help.

If this comfort pack helped, and you're in the place to, I'd appreciate a Ko-fi or something from my Throne Wishlist)!This Carrd will never be locked behind a donation paywall -- but anything you can give is greatly appreciated.

Take care, my friend.
Visit me sometime, if you want.
- Poi
