 There are probably about as many approaches to self-care as there are people trying to practice it! Always remember that just because something works for one person doesn't mean it has to work for you - don't be afraid to switch up your self-care practices if they don't feel good for you. There are probably about as many approaches to self-care as there are people trying to practice it!

 In this meditation practice, one does not try to control one’s breathing, but attempts to simply be aware of one’s natural breathing process. When engaged in this practice, the mind will often run off to other thoughts and associations, and if this happens, one passively notices that the mind has wandered, and in an accepting, non-judgmental way, returns to focusing on breathing. In body-scan meditation the attention is directed at various areas of the body and noting body sensations that happen in the present moment. In this meditation practice, one does not try to control one’s breathing, but attempts to simply be aware of one’s natural breathing process.
