Self-care September is here, which means it's time to rethink what self-care actually means.
Yes, self-care can be a long walk.
It can be an everything shower.
It can be putting your phone on do not disturb.
But sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff and understanding your patterns, your boundaries, finally figuring out why you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again.
Unlike the quarter-life crisis, which is depicted as the collapse, the quarter-life reinvention is the expansion and growth of something.
When we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves, nobody else can take that from you.
So this self-care September, don't just take care of yourself, get to know yourself as well.
