Hot cocoa > hot takes, but also remember to eat something nourishing. Fuel your body for finals and stress — think balanced meals, snacks, and hydration. Even geese rely on high-energy fuel during migration.

It’s okay if your geese (or ducks, or thoughts) aren’t in a row — they rarely are. The goal isn’t to have it all together, it’s to keep gently herding your chaos in the right direction. Prioritize one small thing today, and let the rest honk in the background.

Fly high, rest low. Margret the goose and her friends know to take snack breaks mid-flight — and honestly, that’s energy we should all match. Grab your favorite treat and wind down; recovery is part of progress.

Feather your nest, like Moose, mentally and literally. Clean your desk, throw on a sweatshirt that doubles as armor, and play your comfort playlist. Calm spaces make everything else a little softer.

Leaf your worries behind (dramatically, like a main character in a slow-mo movie). Let something go today — a thought, an expectation, a to-do list item that doesn’t need doing. You’re allowed to choose peace over perfection.

You don’t need huge milestones to take a bow and feel proud — showing up, trying again, or finishing the week counts. Celebrate yourself the way Carl here celebrates every day.

Stretch your wings! Even ten minutes of movement — a walk, some yoga, or a stair climb — boosts mood and focus. Geese fly thousands of miles using energy efficiently; your body deserves similar TLC.
