A-Z Guide to Self Care
In December 2019, an IG friend of mine Julia Kestner started a list of prompts named A-Z Guide to Self Care. #Letteringselfcare.
I participated in all 26 days and here are the whole A-Z Guide to encourage people to care for their mental health and to start abolishing the stigma that comes with Mental Illness.
We are all in this together. I hope you find these encouraging and helpful.
I think as women we are taught ever since we were little girls that our needs are secondary to others, at least that was my experience as a little girl especially growing up in traditional asian household. Funnily enough I think I have always been a pretty headstrong little girl, and I say NO more often than allowed as a child.
But I don't think I am exempt from the people-pleasing mentality. Sure, I say NO, but I feel the urge to explain *WHY*
I am saying NO. I heard this concept NO is
a complete sentence last year and I couldn't get over the fact that
YUP,
NO is a complete sentence. I am not obligated to explain myself further than NO.
