Breaking Unhealthy Habits

Self-care doesn’t always have to be an activity. Sometimes it’s taking a look at some harmful habits and working on putting your needs first. But what does that mean? Where do you start? What does it look like? Here are a few ideas:

• Self-assurance over seeking validation from others

• Understanding that self-worth is not determined by productivity

• Not sacrificing your voice or beliefs in order to avoid conflict

• Asking for help or support instead of pretending like everything is fine

• Processing hard feelings instead of avoiding them

• Setting boundaries versus ignoring them to please others

• Not minimizing accomplishments by comparing them to others
