Self-care is one thing that we all push aside, don’t you agree? It’s so easy to focus on our daily to-do lists and forget to make time for ourselves. Top that with the added stress of the coronavirus pandemic, and we’re more anxious than ever. I’ve been trying to do one thing for myself every day. And that got me thinking, why not create a self-care challenge. April 1st is tomorrow, so no better time to start! Here are 30 self-care challenge ideas that can be done homebound, one for each day of the month!
