What does self-care mean to you?

We asked the AdvancedBreastCancer.net community what "self-care" means to them. Here is what a few of you had to say:

To me, self-care means...
--"Filling your cup first before you can serve others." - Maxine D.
--"Time to soothe my mental and physical health. Check-in time for my mind and body." - Mallory R.
--"Taking a break."- lynzerz
The ideas of self-care and community can take on many different forms. We'd love to hear what self-care means to you!

  1. Self care to me me means time quiet alone time.

    1. taking time for yourself can be the best form of self-care! Do you have any particular activities you enjoy during your alone time (reading, meditating, journaling, etc)? Best, Allison (Team Member)

  2. Meditation

    1. Hi thanks so much for sharing with us. Meditation is a wonderful self-care practice! I, myself, try to sneak it in as often as I can. How are you doing this week? I shared a guided meditation we have, just in case it may interest you - https://advancedbreastcancer.net/video/guided-meditation. Please reach anytime. We are here to support you in any way we can.
