stressed tired confused frustrated

When you're stressed, that's a sign to slow down, allow space, allow room to settle.

When you're tired, that's okay—happens to the best of us. It may be time to work harder, for longer—we don't all get a break when we need it. But make sure to take care of yourself as you go, and don't put the additional weight on your shoulders of a guilt-trip, when Instagram quotes tell you to self-care.

When you're confused, ask for advice. Or ask yourself what you think you should do. Your inner wisdom sometimes is right there with an answer.

When you're frustrated, first talk things over with yourself, before taking it out on a loved one or colleague.
