Society tells you that you need better self-care to be happier.

But not many people are telling you that you also need to believe you deserve your own attention to make it happen.

Will bubble baths + massages + pedicures make you happier?

Not if you feel so burdened by guilt that you can’t enjoy them.

I've always been an appreciator and collector of heart shaped rocks.

When I backpacked part of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2017, I was amazed by the number of heart shaped rocks I saw.

I learned [the hard way!] how these special rocks needed to be collected in photos instead of in my backpack.

Sometimes, the only way to get it is to join a 2-hour workshop on a Saturday where your precious attention is less accessible to everyone else and more accessible to you!

If you're not saying "yes" to the right things...

You can be reaaaaallllllly good at time management but be totally exhausted and drained by all the things that you added to your calendar.
