It can look different for every person. For some people it’s a good movie, a face mask, and a bowl of ice cream. For others it could be a good book, maybe a walk around the block listening to your favorite podcast. The best part about self care? There is no wrong answer. The whole idea is that you do an activity that you can enjoy for yourself. Taking time for yourself is not selfish, it is needed to help with your mental health.
