I had an episode of X-Files playing because I love tuning in and out of it while I tap through the photos on my iPhone. I’ve captured my skin, my stretch marks, my body hair, my rolls, my shape, my everything. I study and delete them, study and delete them.
At one point I laid back, put my legs out, placed the camera on my chest and watched through the camera as my belly moved up and down for a large chunk of time.
Studying my own body has become a form of therapy and this is what self-care looks like for me right now:
A coconut lavender tea tree oil hair treatment soaking into my scalp along with the healing powers of Mulder and Scully - and discovering an appreciation for my body through a physical lens while simultaneously nibbling on a biscuit.
What does self-care look like for you?
