Say it with stickers
Stickers may be small, but they carry big feelings. You can find self-care nudges, tough-love truths, quiet comforts and little bursts of joy in our roundup of favorites from Common Room makers. Consider this your guide to tiny artworks that speak loudly when it comes to our every mood and moment. They’re also cheaper than therapy.
Self-care reminders
From getting enough rest to setting boundaries, self-care comes in many different forms and we all need to be reminded of it every now and then.

Travel light
We can’t always fly off to Japan or to whatever destination we regard as our happy place. But we can let the travel bug bring us some sticker inspiration.

Adulting, optional?
Bills, meetings, deadlines, chores, taxes, more bills—adulting can be tough and leave us depleted of energy and resources. Feel free to be silly or serious about how you spend your time, because once spent, we’ll never get it back.

Daming hugot
Whether we’re mourning the end of a relationship or the passing of a loved one, pain and grief can be hard to move from. It’s always good to acknowledge it or find a reason to smile.

Words of wisdom
We all get stuck, uninspired, or get to a point when we want to give up, but there are ways to crawl out of that rut and begin again.
