• say more mantras. when you're anxious, when you're upset, when you're frustated. repeat them over and over until they sink under your skin; until they mute out the rest of the world; until you find peace.
• speak more kindly. or, don't speak at all. silence in the face of anger is wisdom.
• spend a little time on you. take more bubble baths, light some candles, play a record; ignore the rest of the world for a while. it's okay to be selfish sometimes.
• courage, dear heart.
• get out of your comfort zone sometimes. take more chances, try new things, say hello, ask someone on a coffee date.
• be brave.
• surround yourself with beautiful things. find the words that spark a fire in you, the photos that make you feel something. print them out, hang them up; fill yours walls with art.
• you don't need a reason to do everything in your life and you don't need to explain yourself to anyone. do it because you want to, because it's fun, because it makes you happy.
• breathe. the world will keep on spinning whether take an unplanned break once in a while.
• go on more adventures. or better yet, find someone to go on adventures with.
• you're only human. just one person. you can't make everyone happy or make everyone like you. and that's okay.
• and most importantly, don't ever feel like you're not good enough. your soul is the whole world.
