Make yourself feel good.
It's our job to first make ourselves feel better and then make ourselves feel good.
We have a responsibility to create a good life for ourselves.
We don't have to deny ourselves activities that help us feel good.
Basking in the sun, exercising, taking a walk, or spending time with a friend are activities that may help us feel good.
We each have our list.
If we don't, we're now free to explore, experiment, and develop that list.
When we find a behavior or activity that produces a good feeling, put it on the list.
Then, do it frequently.

"Take it away at once," stormed the Princess, stamping her tiny foot in its embroidered slipper. "I hate real flowers; their petals fall off and they die."--Hans Christian Andersen
If love is reserved for things that never die, love is doomed to die.
If flowers fade in a minute or two, will not stones wear to sand in time?
Even this earth, this garden of life, one day will be like the dust of stars.
We must walk gratefully, carefully on it now.
Now is the lifetime that passes here, now is the best of all days; now is the flower's eternity in the sun, our chance of a lifetime.
This is all we have, this moment.
Within it, anything can be done, any dream fulfilled, if we only use it well.
Why hold back?

Squirtgun seems so wimpy compared to a Water Pistol. I don't know if you scare any bears away with a Squirtgun.

"why hold back"
nerves? fear? worry about ruining a beautiful thing? lack of confidence? not remembering how the feelings are supposed to work? feeling confused or overwhelmed by something you didn't expect? lack of trust in oneself? scared of the unknown?
I could go on, but I'll spare you. . .
