52 Ways to Show Yourself You Care!

Some of these are simple, some of them are more complicated. Some of these will sound like self-care to you, others won't. That is ok! Something you think is simple may be very complicated for someone else. Something you find relief, relaxation, and rest in may increases someone else's stress. The goal of self care is to find what works for you!
