Future-Self Care

Unpopular opinion: 

Self care isn’t just bubble baths and yoga.

Self care is also doing the thing you really DON’T feel like doing, so you can relax for the evening without it niggling at the back of your mind.

It’s staying up late to finish the project you’ve been meaning to do.

It’s posting again today even when no one liked your post yesterday.

It’s prioritizing the things you don’t enjoy so you can do the things you love later.

And zero hate on bubble baths. I love a bubble bath as much as the next person. But I also love hitting my goals. And self-care is important. But so is future-self care.

Self-care is anything that supports you AND your future self.
