self care is different for every person because self care means targeting the main issue that’s bringing you down and treating it
if you’re overworked, stressed, or feeling bad about your appearance, self care might be pampering yourself, drawing a nice bath, doing a face mask and your nails, ordering in and watching a movie and putting aside chores so you can relax and recharge for the evening
if you’re depressed, self care might be taking care of all the little tasks that you’ve been putting off like cleaning your room, or changing your sheets, or sending that email, or running that errand
the end goal of self care is to feel better. sometimes pampering yourself doesn’t make you feel better because you’re just further procrastinating on dealing with the issue that’s actually bothering you. self care isn’t always pretty but it doesn’t matter, what matters is that you feel better once you’ve done it
