Self-care doesn't always look attractive

Self-care doesn't always look as attractive as it seems. Often, it means doing very unpleasant things – sweating during a workout, telling a toxic friend that you no longer want to talk to them, finding a second job to finally start saving money, or – the most challenging task of all! – accepting yourself as you truly are, instead of pushing yourself to the limit to match an ideal, and then taking a forced 'break' from that reality with a bubble bath, a glossy magazine, and a phone turned off all day.
