Hey there,

Let’s play a quick game today!

Imagine you’re holding two scorecards:

• On the first, rate how important you think self-care is, from 1 (meh, not very) to 10 (it’s everything!)
• On the second, rate how much you actually prioritize self-care in your own life, from 1 (who has the time?) to 10 (I’m a self-care superstar!)

Got your scores? Now for the fun part—how do they compare?

If your two scorecards don’t match, you’re not alone! For many of us, self-care almost always takes a backseat to everything else until we hit burnout 🙁

But here’s the thing: even small changes can make a huge difference. So, this holiday season, I challenge you to make one small change for yourself. To help you get started, here’s a monster list of ideas!

This isn’t your typical “take a bubble bath” list—in fact, the only bubble-related suggestion is to “pop bubble wrap,” and honestly, how fun is that?

Take a look and see what speaks to you. I'm going to start with #1, #20, #54 and #100 (I so need to do more of this!) How about you?
