Self-care is personal. What worked at one time may not be what will work today. Or, your go-to self-care practice may look different from someone else’s. And, that’s okay. That’s why it’s important to have a personal (metaphorical) self-care tool box that works for you. A list of things you can pick and choose from. That could look like:
Walking in the forest
Eating an apple
Paying a bill that’s been on your mind
Praying
Taking a bath
Doing your taxes
Running
Turning on music
Listening to water
Lighting a candle
Taking a break at work
Calling a friend
Drinking a tea
Eating something healthy
Cooking
Organizing your closet
Hugging a little human
Petting a furry friend
Painting
And more…
What are some of your self-care go-tos? Brainstorm ideas in the comments section below.
