✨Self-Care is being honest with yourself about your negative habits and mistakes. It’s also taking ownership of your faults and growing from them. Self-care is diverting from a negative space to a positive one.✨ ———————————————————— Not that I have any negative habits, mistakes, or faults ♀️…totally kidding! Anyone else guilty of self-deprecating behavior? Self-care can be hard! We don’t want to focus on our bad habits but it’s important for our growth to work through them! That growth allows us to be better to ourselves and to others #thoughtoftheday #selfiesunday #instaquote #smile #goodhairday #selfcaresunday https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wz3yLAOCE/?igshid=e2at335x0n1d
Found this though-provoking article on self-care on Healthline. swipe for the summary . Basically it breaks down self-care into caring for your body, caring for the inner self, and caring for your community. I think we all had a crash course on this in 2020, but it’s empowering to have concrete language around it. . Comment your next act of self-care! This peaceful cloud study was my care for my inner self. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #artinsanely #artaccounts #bestofillustration #arthabit #aestheticart #artistsupport #justdraw #artistssupportartists #colorstudy #semirealism #visdevart #visdev #artstudy #procreateart #procreate #procreate5x #ipadproart #ipadart #digitalillustration #digital_artist #ipadpainting #landscapepainting #skypainting #environmentart #environmentdesign #selfcaresunday #selfcaretips #selfcareroutine #mindfullife #mindfulliving (at Breathe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-DSp0sMeO/?igshid=1e0d625e7y754

Selfcare Sunday // You know how I told you that I barely got any sleep for the better part of a year due to the pandemic and zero childcare? Well what I didn’t tell you was that it got compounded by moving and doing several home renovation projects Needless to say, my physical and mental health were suffering because of itI was exhausted! With the help of meditation and reducing screen time at night, it’s gotten better, but the thing that really made the difference was changing my mattress. I partnered with @lullbed and they sent me a new mattress that has totally changed the way I sleep. I went from barely sleeping to being completely in love with going to bed at night again. It’s probably the most comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on. There’s this amazing memory form feature that takes away motion so I no longer feel my husband shifting around, turning or moving next to me. Sometimes I don’t even know when he gets out of bed. It’s been great. Their pillows are also equally amazing!
I’m so happy I no longer wake up feeling tired and achy. I feel so rested now that I can finally start making plans to train hard ♀️again
Tell me. What’s been helping you to sleep better at night?

Note to self: Do more Mommy and toddler yoga ♀️ // They say parents influence kids to be better but recently it’s been the other way around. I’ve been slacking on flexibility and mobility training even though I know it’s super important. Thankfully my oldest will randomly come up to me and say “Mommy, let’s do yoga” and then break out into a yoga pose So for the remainder of the month, I’ve committed to doing more yoga // Anyone else finding their kids influencing their training or eating habits for the better?
Happy #SelfCareSunday and congratulations on finishing the semester! Now that you’re finished, you may be worrying about a million other things, like jobs or grad school. Try to understand that you can never deal with both your current situation and the future. Focus instead on bringing your awareness to the present moment and working from there.
Happy #SelfCareSunday and happy Easter to all those who celebrate! Taking a break from school or work is an important part of self-care, but the two aren’t synonymous. If you don’t actively work to get better, then your time off isn’t being used for effective self-care.

Todays Self Care idea: What do your friends like about you? Ask 3 friends of yours what they appreciate about you. Write down the answers and continue adding uplifting statements in the future.
Todays Self Care idea: Time management is important to prevent stress. If you’re not already doing it, try to structure your upcoming week, so you know what tasks to do and plan enough free time for yourself
Spending more time everyday learning & loving myself as well as the skin that I’m in. ⠀ Check out my Insta Stories for some SelfCare Sunday skincare to see what I’ve been using lately to keep my skin & complexion clear! ⠀ Life has definitely not been normal for any of us lately & especially, not for me. New normals aren’t always easy to adapt to. I find when I relax my muscles, remove fear and/or frustrations & trust God fully, I can then enjoy the new normal. Most times, I actually learn new levels of me & more about myself in the process. ⠀ Going forward make sure to take time for yourself to learn every part of you & learn to love yourself flaws and all… YOU ARE WORTH IT.
