True self-care . . .

What do I mean by true self-care? There can't just be one right way to care for oneself, can there?

No, there can't. And that's the point of true self-care. It means to care for yourself in the way that's most appropriate for you. Today. Right now, this red hot minute.

That could mean scheduling yourself a massage because you've been busy and haven't done anything for yourself in a while. Or it could mean putting down your phone (after you've finished reading this post, of course), stop doom-scrolling, and go outside to get some fresh air and sunlight. It could mean giving yourself more rest, or getting up earlier to exercise.

How do you know what you need? You can tell by the way you feel.

But to do that, you have to check in. Take a break from whatever you're doing. Close your eyes. Take three deep breaths. Then ask yourself - how do I feel.

Scan your body.

Do you feel jittery? If so, you probably need more movement - get up, take a walk, do a workout, etc.

Do you feel tired? If so, you could use some rest - set your timer for 5 to 20 minutes depending on how much time you have. Turn on a guided meditation, or just close your eyes and take a break.

Do you feel overwhelmed? If so, you could probably use some help - do a mental scan of your list of resources and see what you might be able to unload from your to-do list.

True self-care means caring enough about yourself to give yourself what you need when you need it. And the only way to really know what that is, is to check in with yourself.

So, if you haven't done so already today - check in with yourself and see how you're feeling. Then, figure out a way to give yourself what you need. I promise - you'll thank yourself tomorrow!
