<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nJust like people are different (and their values are different) self-care is different. There are a million ways to engage in self-care, based on our own unique values, needs, and disposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no one \u201ccorrect\u201d way to do self-care. It\u2019s a \u201cyou do you\u201d situation. (It is, however, a nice bonus if you can learn to set appropriate and respectful boundaries around your self-care so as to also care for others, but that\u2019s another post).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
