m for mindful

I made this website for myself. The little notes help me talk to myself like I'd to a friend – with kindness . When the going gets tough, I often come back to these reminders I collected from my therapist, random quotes and everyday life. Many humans go through their own mental health struggles and a lot of us share the same conditions. Maybe this website will help someone else too. More about me and this site • In crisis?

easy

Wow!look at how much you have accomplished :)

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. - Phil Dunphy

One, two, three..

Stop, breathe, focus

You don't have to do anything

look at your surroundings. count the trees, admire the sky

let it go

put a leash on your mind

step off the treadmill

fuck that

your mind doesn't have to go anywhere but the present moment

don't believe everything that you think

thank you mind, this isn't helpful right now

smile :)

Life is fucking beautiful :)

Dance, Dance, Dance :)

enjoy the me time

moisturize!

Extra details

This website is a personal project. My name is Shankar, a UI designer who designs apps and websites like this one. I have a personal site at ShankarUX.com

Some design details – the headings are set in 'Instrument Serif', a beautiful serif with a tall x-height. The body text is set in 'Xanh mono', a tall monospace serif that has a dreamy quality to it. I have been itching to use these typefaces in a project for a while now!

The website's art direction is 'bare'. Our minds are busy and the lack of colors provide a detox from the colorful screens everywhere. The monospaced font and light-colored stickies aim to elicit a feeling of lightness, in both a visceral and metaphorical sense.
