the Good Things List (2022 edition)

The Good Things List is not just a list of things that I like, it is the list of things that make my brain slow down, stop chasing itself in circles, and regulate itself. It is a list of things that are calming, stimulating, and pleasurable in a mentally healthy way.

If you don’t have a list of your own yet, or a Calming Box full of tangible Good Things, may I humbly request that you start such a list for yourself? And please don’t be intimidated! This is the third iteration of this list for me, so it is now quite long.

I will be putting together a Calming Box over the next few months, since I am trying to be extra gentle with my brain now that I am in a grieving period. I should probably have done this a while back, but better late than never?
