Some days feel heavy and that’s valid. You don’t have to carry it alone. Reach out to a friend, clinician, or a helpline. Small acts of kindness toward yourself matter. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. In the U.S., you can dial 988 for 24/7 crisis support. ***dePrevention

Trees teach us that we must sometimes let go of unnecessary burdens and focus energy on what matters most. Self-compassion practices can be helpful for acknowledging and letting go of painful feelings. Mindfulness practices can help us stay focused on the present moment and let go of worries.
