Below is the list of Tools and Practices that I developed in 2021 to stay centered and promote self-care.
TIP: Make a list of things that will aid in your self-care and mental health. Then choose the practices that are non-negotiable and set up boundaries to protect them. Protecting your Tools and Practices protect your peace.
