Just like He-Man has his Power Sword, you have something to power you up in relationships: the FAST skill! (Ok, maybe a little less cool than a magic sword…)

If you avoid tricky interactions, struggle with people-pleasing, or say ‘sorry’ for having wants & needs, FAST can help.

Be Fair, don’t Apologize, Stick to your values, be Truthful, and you too can harness the power of DBT skills!

This week we’re practicing the DBT skill: GIVE

You don’t have to choose between standing up for yourself or keeping other people happy. GIVE is a tool to help you set boundaries by: being Gentle, acting Interested, Validating, & using an Easy Manner.

Those steps can make a huge difference in all kinds of nerve-wracking conversations: asking a roommate to do dishes, setting boundaries with a friend, or bringing up concerns to a boss.

What’s one thing that brings you a moment of peace or joy? Check out some of our community members’ responses!

If ‘Murder She Wrote’ isn’t your cup of tea, what about a literal cup of tea? Or a book, a song, a comfort food, a NowMattersNow peer meeting…A Pleasant Event can be anything that makes you feel content, energized, or even just a little bit less crappy.

Just one more task, one more errand, one more item off the list…It’s all too easy to get caught up in endless responsibilities. But you can only take so much of that before hitting a wall.

Hear from Ghazal about how taking just 1-2 minutes at a time for Pleasant Events helped give her hope and manage her stress levels.

It turns out that the endless hustle and grind doesn’t always treat you well. Making time for Pleasant Events can help you practice self-love, lower your stress, and distract you from unpleasant things.

What’s fun for you? What boosts your energy? What makes you feel good? What leaves you feeling content and relaxed?

Can you spend 1-2 mins a day trying one of those?
