#SelfCareSaturday Episode One: My Mental Health Story
Welcome to the first episode of my new series: #SelfCareSaturday. Self-care is such an important thing to prioritize in life for all around well-being, and I'm making a commitment to do just that. Whether you struggle with mental illness as I have and continue to, are an activist experiencing burnout, or just want to take care of yourself, I hope this series can inspire you to put yourself first.
Welcome to the first episode of my new series: #SelfCareSaturday. Self-care is such an important thing to prioritize in life for all around well-being, and I'm making a commitment to do just that. Whether you struggle with mental illness as I have and continue to, are an activist experiencing burnout, or just want to take care of yourself, I hope this series can inspire you to put yourself first.
Every other Saturday I will cover an aspect of self-care: what it is, why it's important, links and resources, and how I'll be incorporating it into my life.
After two weeks of practicing it daily, making it a habit, I'll check in with an update and introduce the next part of my self-care plan.
This week is all about getting educated. Check out the links below for a place to start, go download the FREE workbook that goes along with this series, and see you in episode two!
Until next time,
Coined by Elizabeth Jean @xparmesanprincessx, the personal curriculum trend is about creating a self-directed learning plan focused on areas of personal interest, loosely based on a school curriculum structure, including things like assigned reading, goals, assignments, and final projects.
At its core, the personal curriculum movement is about celebrating lifelong learning and intellectual curiosity. It's about being more intentional about how we spend our time when we're not sleeping, or at work, or doing the basic maintenance or admin or chores to keep our lives going. It's about using our free time to enrich our lives in a way that is purposeful and intentional and joyful, indulging our curiosity as adults, even once we're outside of structured school environments, getting excited about learning and allowing ourselves the freedom to go down those rabbit holes in our special interests, to challenge our brains in ways that we maybe don't get the chance to in our day-to-day lives.
