Evidence of Self Care

Trees and a fence silhouetted against a blue twilight sky.

Last week, Moorea Seal mentioned in an Instagram story the concept of “evidence of self care”: in her case, a car that she took the time to get detailed, since having a clean space benefits her mental health.

I’ve been thinking about this since.

For me, self care is a tidy living room, a clean load of laundry, shoes on my feet as I talk a walk around my neighborhood, wet hair from a shower, or a nutritious meal on a plate.

When you look around – at your home or your body – what evidence of self care do you see? Do you see evidence of self love? If not, in what tangible ways can you change that?
