Vicks shower steamers

For sadness, I go by that saying that water is always the answer: drinking it, crying, showering, or sweating. If I’m going the shower route, these drugstore shower steamers have a lovely eucalyptus/minty scent that feels comforting and clarifying at the same time. Plus they're packable :)

The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!
•••
It's my sad song. Like the color, my blues come in many shades, and this song captures the full spectrum. The basic down/low feelings. The deeper wallow. The need to wrap oneself tightly in a blanket. The relief of a good cry. The quiet joy of feeling anything at all. (Sufjan forever!!) So yes, get yourself a sad song and play it maybe two or three times in a row. Or it doesn't even have to be a song, but a something! In my not-at-all professional opinion, it's nice to have a ritual to sadness, like a routine to fall back on when things feel too much. It helps you get the reins back.

duendita - existential thottie
•••
duendita’s music also helps me when I feel sad. Here’s the most recent album. The song “pray,” on a previous album is filled with coos of grounding reminders (whether you’re spiritual / religious or not).

good smells and softness, a hopeful and trusted remedy for the blues. I love this one in particular because it’s not over powering but smells like the perfect Negroni.

Silly little mental health walks in nature
•••
Just left the house for the first time in 9 days to go for a silly lil mental health walk in nature and found myself bawling my eyes out at this rainbow lorikeet just hanging outside his lil tree stump house. We stared into each other's eyes for a good 10 mins until he decided that was enough and retreated back inside his lil tree hole.

Cry

I love crying. I try to do it twice a day in short bursts. Almost feels like emotional hygiene and indulgent at the same time. I find it so luxurious! Dabbing tears away? So chic!!

Insight Timer
•••
Excellent free meditation app. The timer itself works well and is customizable (for example, if you want bells throughout or just a beginning and ending bell). There are also guided meditations for yoga nidra, metta, and more. Honestly, works best on mobile but you can also add a widget to your desktop.
