Today for self-care I...

Message contains a hyperlink

Self-care! 

 

There's been a lot of talk about self-care recently in parents, with this content providing some information, ideas, and even a quiz all about self-care. It is so important for all of us, but especially as parents, to make time for ourselves and do those little things that make us feel happy and well. 

 
To practice what we preach, this thread can be a place where we can reflect on what self-care activities we have done today, or are planning to do today! (It might also be a good place to come for some ideas..)

 

Finish the sentence 

Today for self-care I .... or... Today for self-care I will...
