Image Description: Infographic titled: “@IncFeminism Presents: What Is Self-Care?” The background is sea foam green and there are white accents. The text reads:
Any deliberate action you take in order to attend to *your* emotional, physical, or psychological needs..
A crucial part of healthcare. Both preventative in nature and a way of coping after the fact
Completely individual. There’s no right or wrong way to practice self-care.
Image Description: Infographic titled “Inclusive Feminism Presents “Self-Care Guide” The background is a pale teal with lighter polka dots. The infographic is divided into different sections: Physical Self-Care, Emotional Self-Care, Mental Self-Care, and Spiritual Self-Care. The text reads:
Eat foods that make you happy/nourish you
Drink a protein or nutritional shake
Stay hydrated (get the Water Your Body App)
Engage in activities that feel good
Get sleep and rest as needed
Craft, color, pursue creative outlets
Listen to your favorite music
Spend time with your pets or at an animal shelter
Join a support group or see a therapist
Practice positive affirmations
Take a class for free with Coursera
Attend a religious service (if that’s your inclination)
Write a list of things to be thankful for
(All of the above are customizable and are about what you are able to do and what will help you feel your best!)
Note: I’m aware that there is overlap between all of these sections, just like there is overlap between the different aspects of our lives.

Have multiple things going on at once!
Overwhelm your senses (in a good, manageable way)
Neutral TV show in the background
Play a game on your phone or
Plan little things to look forward to every day
Find little moments of joy
Spoil yourself in little ways (it doesn’t have to cost any money)
Treat yourself like you would your best friend going through the same situation
Find a Groupon for a massage (you could also find a massage school for deep discounts)
Do a deep cleaning of your environment.
Keep a mood journal (MoodTrack Diary app is recommended and free)
Do something totally spontaneous.
Get away for a few days (go camping, stay with friends or family)
This isn’t an exhaustive list and this won’t cure anything, but I’ve found all of this helpful for my own mental health and for dealing with my severe chronic pain. I hope you found all of this helpful! Feel free to inbox me with any questions!
