1. Reflect on Your Week With Kindness
Think about what went well and what felt heavy. Looking back without judgment helps you recognize your needs and acknowledge your strength.
2. Organize One Area of Your Life
This might be a backpack, a desk, a phone folder, or a corner of your room. Tidying even a small space can bring a sense of calm and control.
3. Give Yourself a Rest Day or Quiet Hour
Choose a time this week to pause and recharge. Rest is not earned — it’s needed — and giving yourself permission to slow down supports healing.
4. Plan for the Week Ahead at a Comfortable Pace
Look at school, work, or home responsibilities and break them into manageable steps. Planning gently reduces overwhelm and helps you stay steady.
5. Spend Time With Supportive People
Make space for someone who listens and encourages you. Positive connection — even for a few minutes — can strengthen your sense of safety.
6. Do Something That Brings You Joy or Peace
Choose an activity that makes you feel calm, creative, or cared for. This can help your mind unwind and create moments of comfort.
7. Review Your Personal Boundaries
Think about what helps you feel safe emotionally and physically. This weekly check-in helps you understand where you need support or space.
8. Celebrate a Small Win
Recognize something you accomplished, no matter how small. Noticing progress helps build confidence and reminds you of your resilience.
