Today I did a lot of driving before coming into work and with driving comes thinking. For better or worse, long drives can encourage us to just think. Like I said… for better or worse! IYKYK. 

Anyway, many things went through my mind regarding a long list of topics. To pick just ONE, I decided to simply share a poem about self love and self care. 

This poem was actually inspired by a listener (Thanks Lisa!) who mentioned they enjoy that I talk about mental health on air. 

It’s clear I am a very positive and optimistic person but we are all only human and dark days come and go. So I like to use this platform to remind everyone that it’s okay to have a hard day, just make sure you do something to take care of yourself so you don’t spiral. 

Check your pie chart, take care of yourself. Love, Carrie Danger

You’re Doing Great, Rest Your Head 

Rest your head
Close your eyes 
It’s time for bed 
Your thoughts are a cycle
They tend to race 
Just try to remember 
To keep a steady pace 
You’ve worked so hard 
You’ve done so much 
Now it’s time 
To get in touch 
Sit back and relax 
Listen to your favorite song 
Because precious sleep, my dear 
Will be here before long 
Try to breathe 
Take a big, deep breath 
You’ve done enough for the day 
Now it’s time for rest 
Whatever is on your mind 
Can be solved in due time 
Close your eyes, my little one 
I know your plate seems full 
Reach out to those that care for you 
It’s OK to pull back the wool
Whatever it is
Wherever you’re going 
You’re doing great
Take comfort in knowing 
You are so loved 
You’re not alone 
Take care of yourself 
This world is your throne
