When Self-Care Stops Being Cute and Starts Getting Real
Let's be honest, self-care isn't always candles, bubble baths, and mood playlists. Sometimes it's washing your face even though you're bone tired. Sometimes it's saying no to people who drain you. And sometimes, it’s taking your phone, turning it off, and reminding yourself that peace is a boundary, not a reward.
We've glamorised self-care into something performative. But the truth? The real magic happens in the quiet, in the moments where you choose yourself before the world decides your energy for you. It’s not about being put together; it’s about being aligned.
So tonight, light your candle, pour that cup of tea (or wine, I don’t judge), and take a moment to ask:
What do I actually need right now?
Because self-care isn't one-size-fits-all. It's unique, just like you.
