SELF-CARE IS UNIVERSAL.

LIFE CAN BE PRETTY OVERWHELMING, NO MATTER WHAT GALAXY YOU INHABIT. THINGS CAN GET TURBULENT AND MESSY, AND THE PATH FORWARD CAN FEEL WINDY AND UNCLEAR. LUCKILY, WE CAN TURN TO THE STARS FOR INSPIRATION. LIKE US, STARS MUST UNDERGO AN ESSENTIAL EVOLUTION. STARTING OUT AS CHAOTIC CLOUDS OF DUST, THEY EVENTUALLY FIND BALANCE, WARM UP FROM WITHIN, ESTABLISH THEIR ORBIT, AND TRANSFORM INTO LUMINOUS CELESTIAL OBJECTS. STARS CREATE BEAUTY OUT OF CHAOS.

WE CAN TOO! THESE PAGES REVEAL COSMIC CARE PRACTICES TO EMPLOY AT EACH STAGE OF YOUR OWN STELLAR EVOLUTION, FROM INSTABILITY TO LUMINOSITY. WHATEVER PHASE YOURE IN, THESE TIPS WILL HELP YOU FIND (AND KEEP) YOUR GLOW, EVEN WHEN YOURE FEELING LOST IN THE DARK.

THOUGH IT MAY FEEL LIKE YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY DARKNESS, STARGAZING INWARD CAN BRING CLARITY. CHAOTIC CONDITIONS ARE UNAVOIDABLE, BUT TRY TO REMEMBER THAT LIFE OFTEN EMERGES OUT OF COMPLEXITY. WHEN THINGS SEEM UNSTEADY, FIND COMFORT IN DAILY CYCLES AND CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS. (BUT TRY NOT TO WORRY ABOUT A LITTLE STARDUST!) LET YOURSELF FEEL TENDER SOMETIMES. WHEN YOU NEED A BOOST, A COMPOUND OF NEUTRON STARFRUIT AND MOON WATER CAN HELP WITH REGENERATION. PRO TIP: VIDEOS OF BABY DRAGONS = FREE THERAPY ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BREATHE. TAKE YOUR TIME TO FIND YOUR BALANCE. DISCONNECT FROM ELECTRICAL CURRENTS TO MAINTAIN YOUR BATTERY LIFE. GO OUT AND EXPLORE YOUR PLANETS HIDDEN GEMS. STOP AND SMELL THE BIOLUMINESCENT FLORA. TAKE A TRIP TO THE COAST. TAKE A TRIP TO THE COAST.

LIQUID IMMERSION CAN GENERATE A STATE OF EQUILIBRIUM. REMEMBER TO STRETCH! TRY TO BE KIND TO YOURSELF AND TAKE TIME TO PRACTICE GRATITUDE. INDULGE YOURSELF OCCASIONALLY. CERTAIN NUTRIENT SOURCES ARE ESSENTIAL TO AN ORGANISMS HAPPINESS. PLUS, COOLING IS A VITAL STEP IN THE FORMATION OF A GALAXY. SOLAR RADIATION IS HEALTHY IN MODERATION. (JUST MAKE SURE TO WEAR SPF 3000!)
