Hey everyone! Today I wanted to talk about self-care and why it’s more than just face-masks and bath bombs.
Self-care can look like many different things and is definitely different for everyone. Self-care is a vital part of managing everyday life, stress, busyness and just a way to re-center and relax. No matter who you are or what you have going on in life, we all need a little self-care. So, I’ve compiled a list of self-care activities you can do. These range from anything to journaling, sleeping, or even making a doctor’s appointment. Taking care of ourselves is important because if we aren’t taking care of ourselves then we aren’t able to take care of other people in the best way possible and it can be hard for us to get other tasks and work done when we aren’t feeling our best. So, take a look at the list below and let me know what kind of self-care you do or if you’re going to try one of the things listed!
