Self-care for me means a lot of things. Sometimes it's just making sure I'm getting enough rest, eating well, taking care of myself (showering, etc), tending to sickness, and getting enough quality "me" time (meditation, journaling, reading), because my job can easily suck the life right out of me if I'm not paying attention to these basic things. Once my basic needs are met, I make sure I'm getting enough socialization.Then I move it up to treating myself by getting a massage, mani/pedi, taking myself to a movie, haircut, etc. This is all interchangeable; it's not like, a leveling up kinda thing.

But if I'm not taking care of my basic needs, doing any of the other things aren't going to help me out, much.
