Hey Smartie Pants,

I’m here to remind you, you’ve got this. Easy peasy. And if you’re getting your knickers all in a knot, stop that shit. Now. You’re gonna get all tangled up. So stop. Take a deep breath. Go do something, anything that makes you smile.

Need some ideas do ya?

• Take a walk… yes, you do have time. While you’re out there smell something. For reals. The air. Some flowers. Actually stop, lean in and smell some flowers.
• Head to the bathroom for a dance break. If ya wanna take it up a notch, dance in your undies. Who’s gonna know?
• How about some jumping jacks? Yep, folks might stare. I’m smiling just thinking about that scene.
• Ice cream, tea, a shared laugh, putting in your head phones and cranking up whatever tunes match your mood.
• Write yourself a letter about how badass you are.

There you have it. Permission granted. Guilt free smiles. You are so worth it.

Once you get there, notice how that smile feels in your body… really milk it. Try to stay with it for 10 or 20 seconds.

Return to where you left off. Or not.

Public service announcement complete. Have a nice day.

I love you.
