I wish I could do it more often.

Dancing all the time, baking sweets for everyone, playing with my animals, walking our dogs, drawing, painting, and reading.

Re: Self-Care

I'm hoping to practise self care as a whole much more this year - it's something I struggle a lot with but it always feels nice to do in the end

Re: Self-Care

I definitely need to get better about incorporating self-care into my daily schedule. Lately, I've been trying to be intentional about setting aside at least 30 minutes a day to do an activity I enjoy, such as reading a book or playing my guitar.

How do you practice self-care? How often do you do it?
