Self Care Struggle
If you've been anywhere near the internet over the last couple months, you've likely seen some post about how important self care is for the soul, mind and body. Up until recently, the common opinion or immediate thought to "self care" was face masks and manicures. Now although those are 100% important (my "self care Sunday" routine is made up of two lists: The Body and The Mind), self care now is focusing on your mental well-being.
But what is self care? What does it mean? How can someone not just be overwhelmed by the thought of it?
I found this handy dandy weekly break down of a daily self care checklist - awesome!
Personally, having things spread out over the week is much easier to me to handle - both in terms of completing the task and in terms of self critique in case I happen to not have enough energy to do it. Instead of thinking "I've messed up the entire week bc I didn't feel up to my self care day" I can think "well, I might not have enough energy, but I did yesterday and there's always tomorrow."
My brain goes from "you're doing a good job" to "you're an absolute waste of a person" in 0?01 seconds so it's important I don't overload myself with too much.
I figured someone could use the list too! Or be inspired to create their own 😊
