Now that January has ended, has your enthusiasm for your New Year’s resolutions ended too? As much as I appreciate the collective self-reflection a new year brings, it’s hard to ignore the collective defeat that tends to follow. If maintaining your resolutions has felt hard, you are not alone; so many people find themselves in this situation that “National Quitters Day” is now a thing.

These days when you hear the term “self-care” it’s hard not to think about things like vacations, shopping sprees, and spa days. While I am a proponent of pampering yourself, it seems like our collective understanding of what constitutes self-care is becoming more lavish and materialistic, making a fundamental component of self-actualization feel out of reach for many. To counter this narrative, I want to share the framework I use with clients to make self-care feel more accessible, applicable, and impactful.
