Self Care

I definitely don't need the coffee that I am drinking today.

 (especially since I haven't been drinking the coffee since I've been off work)

 

But I woke up today with the quarantine blues, so I got up, did a small work out, put on my hole-y jeans, did my make up, and made myself some coffee. 

Self-care is insanely important. 

No matter what your self-care looks like, it is important. 

What is self-care? 

This is something that I've been wanting to touch on but could not figure out how because self-care is different for everyone so as much as I could say the analytical side of it - mine will always look different than yours. 

Self-care is doing something that makes you feel better, makes you own your space in the world, makes you happy, gives you time to distress and let go or even just ignore all your problems and troubles.

My usual self-care is exercise and doing my makeup. 

Some days my self-care is a bath and a glass of wine.

 Other days my self-care is laying in bed and just feeling my feelings.

All are valid because all of them work for me in some compacity.

Your self-care may be different than mine, and that's okay... they are still valid. You have to find what works for you. 

Don't feel guilty that you get nothing done that day, or maybe your self-care is doing chores: 

both are okay and valid.

I'm still a little down in the dumps, I miss my friends, family and my students but I have virtual dance class in a few hours so that'll help... for now, leave me to my coffee that is giving off major cinnamon roll vibes.

Until the coffee runs out;
