Sometimes I’m too tired for self-care, but I’m also too tired to spend the entire evening staring into the void.

Sometimes self-care feels like another thing on the to-do list. So instead, I’m choosing tiny doses of joy.

💜 Bedazzle something unnecessarily

💜 Journal or write something just because I feel like it

💜 Hang out with my pets

💜 Watch Bob’s Burgers with an irresponsible amount of snacks

💜 Escape into a cozy video game … currently obsessed with Coral Island

None of this is productive. None of it is particularly impressive. And that’s the point. Joy doesn’t always need to be meaningful, productive, restorative, or social media worthy. Sometimes your inner child just wants snacks and a video game.

And honestly? She has been waiting patiently through enough adulting.

What’s your favorite low-energy way to make yourself feel a little happier? I want to know.

Maybe you don’t need to optimize your life, start a new habit, or become a more productive version of yourself.

Maybe you need to focus on joy, laugh way too hard at something objectively stupid, or put stickers on something that doesn’t need stickers. Maybe you need to buy the tiny ceramic mushroom.

As an elder millennial woman juggling work, relationships, responsibilities, burnout, perimenopause, and the never-ending mental load of being the person who remembers everything …

It’s easy to become incredibly good at functioning while forgetting what it feels like to simply feel delighted.

Whimsy isn’t frivolous. Play isn’t childish. Joy doesn’t need to be productive to be worthwhile.

Sometimes the little ridiculous things are the very things that remind us: Oh yeah, there I am.

So tell me: What tiny, ridiculous thing makes you feel most like YOU?

If you’re a burnt-out woman in perimenopause, sometimes “self-care” sounds like one more thing on the damn to-do list.

So instead of adding another wellness routine, try something that simply gives your brain somewhere else to go.

💜 Put together a puzzle

💜 Learn to cross-stitch

💜 Play a cozy video game

💜 Listen to an audiobook

💜 Create casual art like watercolors, coloring, or doodling

These are simple things to do when you’re feeling mentally exhausted, overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just completely DONE. They give you a chance to slow down, get out of your head, and do something purely because you enjoy it.

And no, you don’t have to turn it into your new personality trait.

Which one sounds good to you right now?
