<p style="padding-left: 30px;">I think about self care a lot, mostly in terms of how I&#8217;m not very good at it. I struggle with feeling that it&#8217;s bordering on self-indulgence when there are so many other things tugging at me. And time passes, leaving me wondering why I didn&#8217;t do some of the simplest, most obvious things for myself.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Below is a sampling of my Self Care board on Pinterest, which currently holds 137 pins. You can get there by clicking on the Pinterest button at the bottom of the graphic. [If the graphic is not displaying by email, you can <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/saraheolson2009/self-care/" target="_blank">visit my Self Care board here</a>.] I visit regularly to remind myself to be gentle with and good to myself. I visit to confirm that caring for myself matters. And I visit to renew my pledge that I will fulfill this promise to myself.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Do you need reminding, too?</p>
