34. Try Something New Today To Care For Yourself (3/7)

07/24/22 • 19 min

We’ve previously talked about what self care is and why it’s important to practice it. In this episode we discuss a few potential ideas that you can to do to keep things interesting when it comes to caring for yourself.
One way is to treat yourself to things you’ve always wanted to do. Adding new and novel experiences to your self-care routine is like giving yourself a little gift every day. It’s a great way to stay motivated and to feel better about yourself.
We also discuss what we like and don’t like, self care is always going to be individual to you but it’s also important to try new things and push yourself out of your comfort zone. Something, we’ve found Sparky probably really needs to do more often too!
Happy listening.
