This is the introductory page of our self care planner. I think it does a good job explaining why self care is so important! Note: This 2022 FREE, printable planner is no longer available for download. Keep an eye out for our updated 2023 self care planner.

“Every time I think of self care, I think of being on a plane just before take-off when the attendants instruct that in the event of an emergency you should put your own mask on first, then help others.

The same is true of most everything in life - how can you expect to be able to help others if you don't take care of yourself?

Self care is simply caring for yourself and it can come in many different forms. It could mean exercising, eating well, finding time to do something you love, or even indulging yourself. Self care can look different for each person. The key is discovering what works for you and then making it a priority.

I designed this planner to make the holidays less complicated by having one place to keep everything holiday related while also encouraging self care practices.

I wish you all the best this holiday season and I hope you find this planner useful.”
