Feeling overwhelmed? Just know you can always: 

Write it down 

Write (or draw) what you are feeling in this moment in your journal. Then, write 3 things that you appreciate about yourself. This is not overrated!

Change your view 

Take a walk in your neighborhood or visit a San Mateo County Park trail and soak up the sun and scenery. Remember to wear SPF.

Try something new 

Grab your phone or laptop and explore potential hobbies to pick up. Or think of one you used to do and pick it up again.

Retreat and treat 

Go to a place that brings you comfort and calmness, like a community garden, library, or local cafe. Treat yourself to a croissant or bubble tea!

Remember, you are deserving of peace. Your wellness matters.
