It’s #internationalselfcareday, friends, and this image and quote from @emilyonlife rings especially true today. Self care is not just bubble baths, face masks, and cancelling plans. Sometimes, it’s doing the really hard shit because you know it’s good for you, or your mental health, even though it’s fucking hard. Maybe it’s finally letting that friend know why you went radio silent, because it’s been eating at you. Or pushing back on a dismissive email from your doctor when you have something going on that just doesn’t feel right. Or even, scheduling that therapy consult call that you’ve been putting off. After you do that? Get on with your face mask! It’s definitely on my agenda tonight, and not just because my self care this summer has included lots of sun. It really does help me unwind, and force me to just sit for 10-20 minutes. Never a bad thing! #selfcare #selflove #radicalselflove #nyclife #grow #personalgrowth #takecare #selflovequotes #selfcaretime #selfcareroutine #selfcareday #selfcarematters https://www.instagram.com/p/B0UkbtwAjdX/?igshid=r6fv2i6x3zie
