Taking care of yourself doesn’t always look like self-care.
Sometimes it looks like going to bed earlier.
Moving your body even when you don’t feel like it.
Making the appointment you’ve been putting off.
Saying no without writing a paragraph explaining why.
Taking your medication.
Asking for help.
Making space for something you actually enjoy.
Or recognizing that the way you’ve been feeling isn’t something you have to keep pushing through.
It doesn’t have to be elaborate. And it definitely doesn’t have to be perfect.
Taking care of yourself is really just paying attention to what you need—and making yourself enough of a priority to respond to it.
You take care of a lot of people.
Make sure you’re somewhere on that list, too.
