Self-Care Is Sometimes Hard
We think that self-care is about manicures and massages and walks in nature.
And it is.
But it is also sometimes about doing hard things. Having hard conversations. Dealing with people who you don't agree with. Attending an event when you would rather stay home.
Our advice - especially when things are rough?
Think about the those things and see what needs work. It can be transformative to focus on inner work when the world is spinning out of control. Because you can't make other people do what you want, when you want it.
But you can change yourself and the way you react the events around you.
