Brand New Day

May you treat yourself with kindness.

May you encounter respect.

May you know when to listen and when to speak up.

May you be a good troublemaker and a dedicated accomplice.

May you be honest.

May you remember who you are.

May you not take on the burden of someone else’s work.

May you follow through on your commitments.

May you know you are already enough.

May you eat something tasty.

May you laugh.

May you offer a hand without expecting anything in return.

May you reach out and receive support, knowing this gives others an opportunity to care for you.

May you trust the unfolding of your days, and also know that your choices matter.

May you let there be ease, no matter what you’re going through.

May you release the need to understand “why.”

May you notice something lovely.

May you let it all count.

And if this is too much, may you tuck one thing from this list into your pocket, only to find it there later like loose change. May it be exactly what you needed.
