Self care comes in many forms

For some it’s walking in place with Leslie Sansone

Or doing yoga on the beach

Maybe even going swimming at midnight

For me it looks like getting in the car at six in the morning to go to the beach

And eat ice cream there

And when I can’t get there, having apple pie on the couch might work instead

Or swiping some chocolate when nobody sees

It may find me browsing SHEIN for stuff I convince myself that I need

Or searching Airbnb for vacation spots that I could potentially go to next year or later

Or maybe even just lying on a yoga mat pretending that I can do all those cool moves

That I used to do for reals

Like hanging upside down in the hammock

Or maybe putting my sneakers on and walking for a minute before deciding that’s enough of a workout Right now self care is different than it used to be for me

And that’s ok

Because like I said, it takes on many shapes and forms

And they are all good when they work well

Especially the chocolate
