S422 Making Self-Care Stick: Nice to Meet Me
Watered Grass
The process of choosing our self-care can feel like another chore if we aren't sure what "self" we're really caring for. Trust me, I know from experience. As a compulsive self-care shopper, I didn't find out what worked for me until I took the time to understand who I am, without the messages about who I should be. In this next phase of Making Self-Care Stick, we'll dive into the different aspects of ourselves that can give us clues for what will sustain our physical and mental health.
