Take Care of Your Mental Health

Take care of your mental health Talk about your feelings Keep active Eat an potato Recite a dark spell Throw your phone in the lake Kiss a bird gently Scowl Make fun of someone you don’t like Lie down in the dirt and let the earth slowly reclaim you

A parody self-care poster presents increasingly absurd mental-health advice, including eating “an potato,” reciting a dark spell, throwing your phone in a lake, and letting the earth reclaim you. The joke is the contrast between wholesome wellness advice and bizarre, destructive, or mildly threatening suggestions, making it useful as an absurd reaction to life’s problems.
