If you have been struggling to make time for your own self care, evaluate where you spend time being distracted during your day. Maybe you’re spending a little too long picking out your clothes, texting a friend, scrolling your social media feed, or even cleaning. Any mindless task could be a filler in your day to keep you from connecting with yourself.
