What are you thankful for about yourself today? How can you celebrate this, inside and out?

Can’t think of something? Ask for help from someone you love. Let them help you get started.

Look forward. There is good stuff coming. Don’t feel like it? Plan something. Make it happen. Give yourself a gift with hope.

Give yourself permission to learn and grow. You don’t have to know it all, or have it all together today. This doesn’t make you any less valuable. Your worth isn’t in your knowledge, performance, lack of failures, successes, or ability to please people. Your worth lies in the fact that you were created worthy and loved by God, and in His image.

Before you “flip your lid”, when you notice your nervous system is triggers, it’s time to ground. Grounding tells your brain you’re in the present, not the past, and cues safety.
Here’s a short, practical list of nervous-system grounding tools you can use in the moment:
• 5–4–3–2–1 senses: name 5 things you see, 4 feel, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste
• Physiological sigh: inhale through the nose, top it off with a second short inhale, long slow exhale
• Temperature reset: cold water on wrists or face, or hold something cold
• Feet to floor: press your feet into the ground and name where you are out loud
• Orienting: slowly look around the room and name neutral objects
• Deep pressure: hug a pillow, weighted blanket, or cross-armed self-hug
• Box breathing: inhale 4 – hold 4 – exhale 4 – hold 4
• Name + reassure: “I’m safe. This will pass.”
