21 Self-Care Practices for 2021

I am not fond of resolutions because they never seem to stick. Is January 1st the only time a person can refresh and reboot? Hopefully not! Rather, I’d like to think of them as micro resolutions or even better, self-care practices. Self-care is a word that has been thrown around a lot these days. What are you doing for self-care these days? How are you practicing selfcare? When I think of self-care, I am guilty of imagining a person on a yoga mat. Indeed, selfcare can most definitely include yoga and other holistic practices. However, self-care is not a one size fits all model. The following are twenty-one self-care practices that are rather comprehensive. Please feel free to add your own in the comments sections!
