The medical definition of self-care is “to care for oneself.” There are lots of definitions for relax but I like “to cast off social restraint, nervous tension, or anxiety.” Now ask yourself how often you do either one. I challenge you to schedule (yes, put it in a calendar) a relaxing self-care appointment 1-2 times…
I used to be an avid reader, and it’s gotten farther and farther away from me over the years. Reading one book a month was on my personal self-care New Year’s Resolution list, and I have to say I’m pretty proud of myself – I’ve read two books in their entirety since the start of…
Self-care is about doing something that makes you happy. Having something that you truly love doing (outside of your job, friends and family) is the essence of self-care. So if you don’t have any hobbies, passions, or interests that immediately come to mind, here’s a list of 25 different things you could explore. Pick a…
“Eat your veggies!” How many times have you said this to your kid? Or how many times do you remember your parents saying this to you? There are so many forms of self-care that we do for our kids on a regular basis that we seem to neglect for ourselves. I know for me, just…
“Listening” is probably my most frequent form of self-care right now . . . because of my obsession with podcasts. I love them!

I’ve talked a lot in some of my live broadcasts on Facebook and Instagram about self-care being essential for happiness. Drinking enough water is a big self-care habit that determines my mood and yet I continue to forget again and again. Why do I feel so hungry? Why do I feel angry? Ummmm . . . because I’m dehydrated! Sound familiar? So drink your water! Here are three tips…
I can’t think of a better place to start with self-care than with a good old “journal.” Now bear with me, I’m not necessarily referring to a “Dear Diary” type of journaling (although that’s definitely an option). I’m talking about anything from making lists, writing in a notebook or in an app, blogging, creative writing,…
New Year . . . New You . . . that’s what they say, right? But what if you don’t want a new you? Maybe you just want to do a few things differently, you know, “swap out” some okay things for better things. The problem is there is so much out there that we…
