Self-Care but....make it realistic 🫰🏻✨
What people think self-care looks like:
Sunrise meditation.
Calm mind.
Perfect energy.
What self-care sometimes actually looks like:
A bathrobe.
A little raggedy like me 😅.
A sauna.
Five quiet minutes before someone asks you for a snack.
Left side: self-care according to Instagram.
Right side: self-care according to real life.
And as a counsellor, I can confirm both work but something important to point out: your nervous system doesn’t care if it’s aesthetic. It just needs a break long enough to reset.
Self-care doesn’t have to look perfect.
It just has to provide relief 😮💨
