What are you reading these days? 🌝 There's so much to be #curious about in the world (other than COVID-19 updates), and so much of it is found in books and online. Curious about space? Volcanoes? Languages? Cultures? It's time to learn! 💥#MondayMotivation

Try this simple grounding exercise when you’re feeling lost in a spiral of negative thoughts.
Calm yourself by naming:
👁️ 5 things you can see
👂 4 things you can hear
✍️ 3 things you can feel
👃 2 things you can smell
👅 1 thing you can taste

[Vent Over Tea @vent_tea]

If you find yourself spiralling into anxious thoughts about things you can't control, try to take a few #mindful breaths and just do what you need to do right now.
It's okay if that means taking a self-care day! 🌿
