The Asterisk On Everything You Do For Yourself (Jo Moment)

We realise how often “self-care” comes with an asterisk, where we only do things for ourselves if we can justify them. We challenge ourselves to find what actually makes us feel alive, not just what keeps us functioning. • asking what we’ve done this week just for us • noticing the qualifiers that turn self-care into damage control • spotting guilt, shame, and “insurance policy” habits in our routines • sorting habits into draining activities versus nourishing activities • recognising when nourishing only brings us back to baseline • exploring what “feeling alive” can look like in 30 seconds • remembering the version of us outside roles and responsibilities If this resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it today.
