I used to think “self care” meant doing something productive for myself. Stretching, training, learning, fixing.
But then I realized… sometimes it is just letting your body exist without trying to improve it every second. Letting your thoughts slow down. Letting yourself be soft for a minute instead of “strong” all the time🥹

I am still learning how to enjoy that without feeling guilty about doing nothing.
Do you know how to really relax, or do you also need someone to remind you it is okay to just be for a while?
