A Zine on Self-Care and Soothing During Uncertain Times
I created a little zine back in 2020, during the pandemic, focusing on self-care and self-soothing. It was a way to reach out, not just to others, but to myself as well, sorting through what it means to truly take care of ourselves beyond just immediate comforts.
It’s a simple, one-page guide that I’ve put up on my website for anyone to download and print. You can download and print it for your own use. On the back, I included a poster with tips from “Everything is Awful and I’m Not Okay” by Eponis, which I find really helpful on those rough days. Feel free to check it out and see if it helps you as much as it’s helped me! 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.
