Plenty of things come to mind when we hear ‘self-care’… but sometimes it can feel a lot like those standard tips don’t work. This can leave us feeling lost on what to try next…. so I compiled a list of some self-care strategies in hopes that it can give you some new things to consider and try!

Need even more ideas? We asked the community about journaling, self-validation, and strategies for feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or depleted… we asked too late to include any answers in this video… but check out the comments – see if anything pops out to you as something worth trying!
