Day 19: Self-Care Menu: Beyond Bubble Baths (What Actually Works)

“Real self-care isn’t Instagrammable—it’s saying ‘no’ to what drains you.”

Let’s break down what real self-care looks like:

  1. Physical: Practices that energize your body (e.g., yoga, walks, healthy meals).

  2. Emotional: Practices that honor your feelings (e.g., journaling, therapy, art).

  3. Mental: Practices that calm your mind (e.g., meditation, reading, puzzles).

  4. Spiritual: Practices that connect you to purpose (e.g., nature, prayer, volunteering).

Why It Works:

  • It’s personalized: What works for someone else might not work for you.

  • It’s sustainable: Small, daily practices create lasting change.

  • It’s empowering: You’re no longer waiting for others to fill your cup.

Assignment Notice

  • Your mission today is to create Your Self-Care Menu. Use your workbook to:

    1. Choose 2–3 Practices from each category (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual).

    2. Schedule Them: Add them to your calendar as non-negotiable appointments.

    3. Track Wins: Note how each practice makes you feel.

    This isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence. You might feel guilty at first… and that’s okay. Guilt is just growing pains.

    Tomorrow, we’ll build your support system. But today, celebrate this: You’re no longer an afterthought. You’re the priority.

    Remember: You can’t pour from an empty cup. And you’re worth filling up. See you tomorrow!
