I used to think self-care was all about face masks and bubble baths. But after trying that, I realized the real magic happens in the routine. First, I committed to moving every day—nothing intense, just a walk, yoga, or stretching. Next, I made sleep a priority (yep, turning off Netflix before midnight is a real struggle). Finally, I started journaling—5 minutes a day to unload my brain. The results? I felt lighter, happier, and more in control of my day. No more waiting for that one “me-time” moment. It’s now woven into my daily routine, like brushing my teeth. Self-care that actually works? It’s real, and it doesn’t need to be complicated!
