Plenty of things come to mind when we hear 'self-care'... but sometimes it can feel a lot like those standard tips don't work. This can leave us feeling lost on what to try next.... so I compiled a list of some self-care strategies in hopes that it can give you some new things to consider and try!

Need even more ideas?
