Self-care isn't a bad word, especially when you utilize your creativity to promote it. Writing/journaling, meditation, crafts, photography, problem-solving, collaboration -- all forms of creative self-care that can uplift and empower you.
My mom's 9th lesson: Let others take care of you, and remember that even your personal strength and determination can be tested. No person is an island, and we need nurturing, healthy connections to others.
