Self-Care during moments of great turmoil

Hello everyone! 

I'm sure we're all experiencing a lot of big emotions today and will continue to do so in the coming days. Because of that, I wanted to take a moment to focus on self-care and explore how that could look. 

Many of us may already know this but there are different ways self-care can manifest. In general, I see these categories a lot: 

  • Physical
  • Emotional 
  • Spiritual 
  • Social
  • Financial

And a really important one in times like these: Community.

In self-care conversations, we talk a lot about face masks, bubble baths and food but there's so much more out there.

Today, I encourage everyone to try a different avenue of self-care. Maybe that's sitting with a friend, stretching your wrists out, or engaging in some comfort shows or podcasts. I know for me, it's taking a step away from writing for a day- without the guilt!- and eating some comfort food. 

Whatever you choose to do, do it with kindness.
