1) Chill. 2) Write. :-) This book became possible only after I stumbled upon The Tiny Book Course, whose instructors (Lindsey Smith and Alex Franzen) shifted my mindset with magical phrases like "Tiny books are a big deal." <3 I was making the whole author thing too big, too complex, too heavy. Like everything else in my life, approaching it with a relaxed and playful attitude proved far more effective than self-pressure, worry, and hurrying.

I thought I had self-care figured out until 2020. I’ve had a lot of emotionally low days in the past year. I lost all enthusiasm for my business, forgot what fun looked like, and was far more anxious and judgemental than usual. I needed to level up my wellness routines, and the tools I used myself are what formed the first iteration of this book. (One of my absolute faves is the 1-Minute Mood Boosters.) In the end, I got my playful side back. I trained for and ran my first marathon and wrote and published this (my first!) book relatively easily, once I slowed down enough to take some tender loving care of myself.
