Self Care Soliloquy

Self Care. It comes in many different shapes and sizes and morphs into different beings on a constant basis. One day it looks like grocery shopping and eating cereal for dinner. Another time it looks like eating 3 meals and showering. Sometimes it looks like reminding yourself not to destroy the skin around your nails from your anxiety. Sometimes it looks like zoning out to the rest of the world while calming your racing mind inside. Sometimes it looks like sleeping in. Sometimes it looks like not sleeping at all till you run the demons out of your mind. Self-care is a chameleon and while one thing might have worked for you one day, the next time it might not. One of the most important ideas I have learned so far on my self-care journey is to not get angry at myself when something I try once doesn't work a second time, just keep learning and taking care of yourself on this journey of life.
