New Year, Same You?

Nah forreal tho.

I hope you weren't one of those people that started of this year like "This year is my year! It's feet on necks all 2024! I ain't playing no games!"

Just to sit around 99% of days and do nothing but doomscroll on social media.

Or smoke blunt after blunt after blunt.

Or drink beer after beer after beer.

But never take any action toward your goals.

That wasn't you, was it?

I'm sure it wasn't.

And unfortunately, the first reason self care is so hard for you is: 1. You don't care about yourself enough. Now I know you might think that sounds crazy. But it really is the truth for a lot of people. How many times have you said something along the lines of, "I don't care if I don't get my needs...
