If Mother’s Day is hard for you, for whatever reason(s)…

• Give yourself permission to just let it be another day.
• Take a step back from social media.
• Write down what you’re feeling in a journal or blog.
• Do something nice for yourself.
• Do something nice for someone else.
• Honor another woman in your life who may not literally be your mother, but who supported and cared for you like a mother.
• Talk to a supportive friend, family member, or therapist.
• Remember that your feelings are valid, and none of them make you a bad person.
• Remember that you are enough, and you are worthy, no matter what.
• Take care of yourself.
• Offer yourself grace and compassion.
• Don’t feel obligated to do anything for or with anyone else.
• Notice your feelings, and don’t berate yourself for what you’re feeling.
