Treat yourself like a plant.

We've all done it: we've all brought a plant home, or tried to start one with seeds, and it just didn't grow. Or, we forgot about it. Either way, plants don't grow when their needs aren't met. Sometimes they're not in the right soil (environment), sometimes they need less or more water (hydration), and sometimes you need to feed them those food sticks (nutrients). They also, more or less, need time in the sun.

Plants don't grow when their needs aren't met. Guess what? Neither do humans. You may need sunlight, food, water, and a healthy environment in order to thrive. And yes, while plants use that sunlight differently than we use it, it's still helpful for us both. 

Even the strongest succulent needs enough water and sunlight to survive. Now, go bloom!
