Advent Calendar 2024. Plantain for the Soul. 30 Ways to Take Care of Yourself

The Advent Calendar for 2024 is inspired by the bestseller by Olga Primachenko «Everything Will End, But You Won't». A source of emotional support for those who are tired and have lost interest in life. By taking away the protective layer of «plantain», you will find out what you can do right now (or in the coming months) to reduce anxious tension and shift your focus to simple, clear, and effective actions. This is not a challenge or a marathon. Don't rush, open one «plantain» every few days or even a week. Or only when you feel pressed. Test the suggested options in practice and keep in your toolkit the ones that worked best. Let them become «rules for gentle self-care» that you can always rely on. Interpret the tasks as broadly as possible: do whatever comes to mind first. It’s not necessary to follow them literally — be inspired by the direction given, listen to yourself, and the cues from your body.
