Self-care know-how

Self-care is the process of taking care of ourselves. Might seem obvious but how do we do it?

Basic daily choices are a form of self-care:

🚿 Hygiene and dental care
🏃🏻 How much we move our bodies
😴 How much sleep we get
🍲 What we choose to eat
💦 Whether we drink enough water

But there are also other ways we can take care of ourselves:

📖 Read a book
🧘‍♂️ Yoga or meditation
📱 Unplug from social media
☕ Have a coffee with a friend
💅 Give yourself a manicure
🙏 Practice gratitude
🎉 Celebrate a win (big or small!)
💃 Start a new hobby
💋 Talk to someone about how we feel

Asking yourself “what does my mind or body need” is a helpful way to decide what to do to take care of yourself.
