Summary
When I was healing from loving a man suffering from addiction there was one thing that was part of all of my days: self-care.
And I know, I get it, self-care is all the rage right now.
But self-care should meet your needs, and not necessarily be ‘trendy’.
My self-care right now is a bowl of ice cream and an episode on Netflix. My self-care has been physical movement, walking with my dog and kids, taking a bath with all my favorite soaps, among other things.
My point is that it doesn’t matter what you do, but when you can do it every single day, you’ll have a breakthrough.
For me, it helped me feel more calm, more available to handle the chaos that did come my way, and overall, more grounded.

| 1:12.3 | this community nine years ago, I was constantly looking for |
| 1:17.0 | steps. I wanted to know what I could do to help. At first I thought, thought help my husband which I soon realized |
