FRIDAY REST • PERMISSION TO PAUSE 🌙

You don’t have to earn rest, mija.

You’ve been holding a lot this week. For your familia. For work. For everyone else.

Today, pause without the guilt story.

• Descansa sin culpa
• Mereces pausar hoy
• 5 minutes in the hammock counts. The cloud-watching counts.

Your nervous system doesn’t need you to do more. It needs you to do less, por un ratito.

Rest is not lazy. Rest is repair. 🤎

What would 5 minutes of real rest look like for you today? Drop it below — let’s normalize it.

Thursday Release • Jueves de Liberación 🧡✨

Feeling tense, buzzy, or stuck? Your body might be holding stress it’s ready to let go.

Try this: 30 seconds.
Shake it off — literally.

🤲 Shake your hands
💪 Shake your arms
🦶 Wiggle your whole body
Breathe out loud: “ahhhh”

It’s not weird — it’s nervous system science. Movement discharges stress hormones. 30 seconds can reset your whole afternoon.

Tu cuerpo guarda estrés. Sacúdelo. 30 segundos. Siente la liberación.

In RGV we carry a lot for our familias. Today, give your body permission to let go.

Try it right now and tell me how you feel after 👇

Wednesday Gratitude • Miercoles de Gratitud 🤎✨

3 things I’m grateful for today — small, simple, real.

1. ___
2. ___
3. ___

Gratitude isn’t toxic positivity. It’s training your nervous system to notice what’s still good, even on hard days. Especially in the RGV, where we hold so much for our familias.

Try it now: 60 seconds. Write 3. Feel the shift.

Hoy agradezco por 3 cosas simples y reales.
Escribe 3. Siente el cambio.

📞🕯️ Volunteers Needed: Wind Phone at The Los Mu***os Bailan Festival celebrating Día de los Mu***os, Edinburg 🕯️📞

Have you ever wished you could say one more thing to someone you’ve lost?

A wind phone is a disconnected phone set in a quiet, peaceful space where people can “call” loved ones who have passed and speak to them. The first was created in Japan by a man grieving his cousin, and after the 2011 tsunami thousands of people visited it to talk to the family and friends they had lost. Since then, wind phones have appeared around the world as a gentle way to grieve, remember, and stay connected.

This Día de los Mu***os, the South Texas Mental Health & Wellness Foundation is bringing a wind phone to the Edinburg festival. It will be a space where our community can honor their loved ones, and we need your help to make it happen. 💛

🗓️ Saturday, October 24
⏰ 6:00–10:00 PM, with multiple shifts available
📍 The Los Mu***os Bailan Festival - celebrating Día de los Mu***os , Edinburg, Texas

Volunteers will help set up the space, welcome visitors, gently explain how the wind phone works, and help keep it a calm and respectful place.

No experience is needed, just a caring heart. 🌼
