One of the reasons why defining self care is so difficult, is because self care isn’t a “one-size fits all” deal. So, how do you know what kind of self care routine is right for you? That is where the self care test comes in.

Self care can be little everyday actions you take, such as starting your day with a few minutes of meditation, or it can be a day spent relaxing at the spa, or anything in between that helps you feel like your best self. That’s the beauty of self care; it can be whatever you need at the moment. The important thing is to make sure you take time for the self care you need.

Knowing your self care style will help you find the routine that fits with your lifestyle. Don’t worry if you don’t fit neatly into only one style, that just means you have more options to choose from. Just do what nurtures you inside and out.

Take the self care test to find your self care style.
