The prompt I have chosen today is ‘Explain what self-care means to me.’

So here is what Self-care looks like to me these days:

Early nights/lazy mornings wrapped in a warm duvet and a cuddle

Evenings watching trash TV in my PJs

Wind-down showers or baths before bed

Walking and enjoying the scenery and quiet of my surroundings

Saying no and then saying no again if you didn’t hear me loud enough the first time

Questioning things that don’t make sense to me

Knowing my worth

Trying to find the humour in stressful situations

Eating out with people I love, enjoying the food and the company

Walking away from toxic environments/people who drain the life out of me

Spending time with people who inspire and energise me and make me laugh

Remembering to set aside time to be creative

Remembering to set aside time to read

Taking some moments to sit in silence alone

Going on trips to places I love

Drinking Hot chocolate

Browsing a shop that is aesthetically pleasing
