Self Soothing vs. Self Care Zine

I wanted to do a self care zine for quite some time now and never really knew what I wanted to do with the idea. A list of self care activities I like? A definition of self care?

Then I had the idea to teach the difference between self care and self soothing. Sometimes self care tips I see on the internet seem to focus too much on feeling good right now – but self care is more than that. Read my interactive one-page zine to learn more about the topic! You can also download and print it for yourself.

On the back you’ll find a poster with tips about what to do if you don’t feel well. It’s the guide Everything is Awful and I’m Not Okay by Eponis. Print it out and hang it in your room or leave it on the backside of the zine and every once in a while take it out to remind yourself to take care of yourself.
