Self-Care Challenge

"Self-care is how you take your power back". -Lalah Delia

Lately, I've been reflecting a lot on the importance of self-care. It has been recommended to me by someone I greatly admire, that I need to take more time for myself. Between juggling work, taking care of the kiddos, and managing life with my partner, I often find myself putting everyone else’s needs first and neglecting my own. It's a challenge I know many of us face, especially when life gets so busy. It got me thinking about how easy it is to overlook self-care when you’re constantly on the go. It wasn’t until I had to slow down that I realized how important taking care of yourself truly is. Especially when you're trying to raise little humans.

So, after some thought, I decided to take some action. For the month of March, I have created a self-care challenge for myself. My goal is to prioritize my own health and happiness, even if it’s just in small ways each day. I’m going to post about it on my Instagram and Facebook page to hold myself accountable- and I want to invite others to join me. Let’s see how many of us can make time for ourselves in March, no matter how busy life gets!

Link to my Instagram! (Follow me, I could use writing friends.)

Link to Facebook! (I share my courses that I have completed on here as well as share inspirational messages that I find beautiful.)

I also thought that by writing about it, I'd actually force myself to do everything on the list. Ha, ha, go Chloe. I got myself there.

If you don't want to follow me on social media, I will be posting my self-care challenge on here as well. Because now that I have gotten back into the habit of writing again, it is like I cannot stop.

So here goes nothing....

What do you think of my Self-Care Challenge for March?

This challenge is quite personal to me as a lot of these I do practice when I have time but as I've been struggling with general life woes at the moment, I decided to turn my pain into something beautiful.

Please tag me in your own self-care posts as I would love to see them! 2025 got off to a rocky start for me but you know what? When life kicks you down, you just got to swing back sometimes.

Thank you for reading, and I hope that this challenge brings some healing into your life. Remember, it's okay to take time for yourself- you're worth it. 💖
