Listen, I have done a self care check in since July 2025…yikes

To be honest since then, I haven’t been doing much of self care besides my usual go to of silent car rides, listening to music and quiet time whenever I can squeeze it in (which is basically in the car and when everyone is asleep in the house). I’ve been on this journey for a while and I’ve been trying to really define what self care is to me and not go by what others consider “self care” and what isn’t self care. I honest thought I had this figured out but it seems like I don’t these days and it is a bit frustrating.

I thought it was just the little things that bring you joy and doing things that you enjoy for self care. That is the case in most instances but the little things are few and far for me at times. I just feel like I have to be on everyone else’s time and I can’t do things sometimes for myself. I’m constantly doing so much for others that once again I am putting myself on the back burner and it is not okay.

Lately it seems like my idea of self care has shifted and find myself trying to figure it out. I really don’t see anything wrong with this because I’ll discover what I need for self care in this point in life. I’m excited yet scared about going through this journey again but I know the outcome will be great!
