Not right this instant, of course. No, wait, come back here! I have more to explain! I mean, yes, wash your face, especially if you haven’t yet. But, why would I label that as self-care or think it’s enough to make a post about? Because some days just getting out of bed is a challenge.… Read More Self-Care Saturday: Wash your face
The majority of my self-care posts are things you can do without spending any money. That isn’t changing. For today, we’re going to look at this way to take care of yourself. It has been a long week. Life has just run you ragged. You need a break. The calendar says it’s the weekend but… Read More Self-Care Saturday: Hire It Out
Meditation is one of the things my therapists have pushed me to do throughout my years in therapy. If I’ve been away from therapy and go back, one of the first questions they ask is, “Do you meditate?” I do. I don’t meditate daily, though I wish I had that kind of discipline.

I think everyone can raise their hands to those questions unless they’ve invested time into learning different habits. Fast… Read More Self-Care Saturday: Eating Well for Mental Health
You know what? Life is hard. Every day we deal with stress from multiple angles. Some of it we can’t do anything about, some we can. Regardless, here we are, another week survived, endured, or perhaps triumphed over. GOOD JOB YOU! No, I mean it. Good job!

Ever find yourself going through the day, or a string of days, just feeling blah about everything? Not really depressed, you’ve learned enough about depression to see it’s not that feeling.
