It's so fascinating how you mentioned Stars for spiritual self care, do you mean stargazing though? How does it make you feel?✨
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Hey Sun! Hope you're doing okay :) And thanks I'm glad you like it 🤗
Yes stargazing, or images of stars and galaxies in movies or internet. Stargazing is amazing, the more when you have places with a low light smog :)

I appreciate how you've added multiple things/ activities in your self-care kit, some of the ideas in "mental self care" are news to me but I'll definitely check them out, many thanks for sharing!

Hiya @Samar19 it's always good to see you around, thank you for sharing your self-care kit with us, looks pretty fantabulous, specially the "cousin hangout" bit~ I feel it's quite underrated how wholesome it can be to hang out with our cousins (the nice ones loooool).

Hey hey @Eddieflwwrboii so nice to meet you and woah, some interesting answers here hehe. What sparked your interest in crystals and vampires?😃
+1000 for stuffed toys!🥰
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
I've always been fascinated by history, specifically the paranormal side of it, so vampires are just a constant interesting thing to study, and crystals are generally just good for meditation and mental cleansing!

@Aputik
So many wonderful ways of incorporating self-care in your life, thank you for sharing!
I like how you mentioned about avoiding plans that involve money and you're not even interested in it. I think, alot of people might relate to this one, as often many of us get swayed by our peers/ people around us in spending on activities/ things/ experiences that we otherwise wouldn't or just don't want to, but ofcourse, telling a no could be hard hehe, I think that's a pretty awesome self-care hack too, "saying no to everything not great for you".
Happy self-caring.😃
Nice
