Way To Feel Whole in a Broken World
Do something you’ve been putting off.
Chat with a stranger.
Make someone laugh.
Play a song that makes you smile.
Plant something.
Harvest something.
Take a hike. Maybe get a little lost.
Sit down and talk with people. Even if you don’t have time. Especially if you don’t have time. Not about ‘the news.’ About their lives.
Eat an ice cream in the sunshine.
Sing along.
Look at baby animals. Hold one, if possible. Baby humans count.
Design something.
Solve a problem.
Do someone a favour.
Be friendlier than you need to be.
Bake.
Choose just one thing you can do to make things better somehow, and do it.
Give someone a hug.
Make music.
Make art.
Look closely.
Join a group.
Kick everyone out of your house and soak up the silence.
Read fiction.
Move your body.
Lend your voice.
Jump in cold water and then lie in the sun til you’re dry.
Seek out comedy.
Collaborate.
Do something kind.
Cuddle.
Stand up straight.
Find a reason to laugh.
Choose the generous option.
Reach out.
Most of all: connect.
