It’s January! And that makes me so happy and excited! Although changes for the better can be made at any point in our lives, I’m a sucker for new year’s resolutions, and for making positive changes at the beginning of a brand new year.
I began this year with many resolutions to shape all 365 days, and two of these have been to continue working on my mental health, and also investing time and energy into this little blog, to help it grow into a positive space that promotes mental wellbeing.
Therefore, when I stumbled across the 30 Self-Care Challenge by Want For Wellness, a little ping noise rang in my brain, because this will help me to work both on self-care, which is an important part of mental wellbeing, and also to help with blogging consistently.
Self-care is something that we can all work on improving, and especially when mental illnesses are hitting down hard; self-care is of utmost importance. The three components of self-care in this challenge are the mind, the body, and the soul, as each of these is essential for good mental health. All three aspects of ourselves deserve love and care.
Tomorrow I’m beginning the self-care challenge for 30 days, because this is a year of good things. A year of hard work, of change, and of becoming. How do you practice self-care?
Cool idea! I think the mind area of self-care comes the most naturally to me because I am very much a geek.

Thanks Ashley! It’s funny how different parts of self-care can be easier, or more difficult to get into for everyone.

Thanks Eve! I’ll be following the list from the Want to Wellness website, otherwise I would get pretty stuck thinking of things. And nope, that’s not me, I’m just using free CCO photos at the moment until I can take my own. Though in saying that, she and I look very similar 😊
