Self-care can feel like an aspirational buzzword while living in a pandemic. Whether you are working from home or juggling heading into the office with kids at home in virtual school, it can be hard to make time to take care of yourself.
And what is self-care, really? So often, people describe self-care as a quick bubble bath or that extra piece of chocolate after dinner; it is that little treat to self! It certainly can be these things, but for many people, once the bubble bath is over, you realize you are just as stressed out as before you dove under those bubbles. While self-care looks a little different for everyone, it’s not just the nice little treats or things we can do for ourselves throughout the day.
Self-care is making intentional choices about how we care for ourselves and move through our days.
