Q1 What does self care mean to you?

To me, I always thought Self care had to be big but over the years I found that self-care can be small
Also, self-care, is caring for yourself. It’s doing what you need to do to take care of your everyday wellbeing physical and mental aspects to prevent Carer’s burnout and carers Fatigue

[znp]

In terms of self-care, what do you all recommend for a quick "jittery" fix? I've tried lamingtons but didn't work.
