For me, self care has looked different in different seasons.

When I was pregnant, laying down on the couch with my feet up (and usually napping) after school was the best way to care for myself.

In Other Seasons…

Sitz baths postpartum
Baths with epsom salts
Running, especially when really stressed out
doing gentle yoga while on my period
Reading while breastfeeding or pumping
Reading, memorizing scripture, or watching Friends while cuddling my daughter in her hospital bed
Listening to audiobooks or calling a friend while driving her to appointments
Walking laps around the first floor of the hospital
Painting my nails during nap time (with my favorite no-UV light gel nail polish)
Napping during nap time
Scrapbooking after an especially hard day
Getting out of the house to get coffee or run errands with a friend
Here lately, drinking enough water, moving my body every day, and limiting my sugar intake has helped me feel the best.

It’s the Little Things

Be kind to yourself <3

Plan your self care ahead of time, or it won’t happen.
