I think this is a fantastic topic! I feel like a lot of people struggle with this concept. I like so many others always take care of others before myself and don't feel like I deserve the good things that make me happy. My T and I have been discussing this for awhile.

I think self-care is doing whatever it is that makes you happy as well as taking care of yourself like exercising, eating right, and taking your pills. For me self-care is going and volunteering, playing with my pets, blasting music and dancing around like an idiot, hanging with friends esp when I am down, and I agree that a big part of self-care is going to therapy for me right now. It pushes me to focus on what's good for me and treating myself right!
