Taking self-care very, very seriously

Stress brings out the worst parts of my personality and, lately, I’ve been more stressed than usual. So it’s time to take better care of myself.

Sometimes, going back to basics is best. I need to draw and write things down to process, but I often find that doing something physical, like going for a walk or climbing at the gym, helps reset my mood most.

This week, I’m reminding myself to do more of what makes me stronger and better able to manage stress.

What are some of your go-to self-care strategies?

Hope you’re taking good care of yourself this season as well. We deserve that.

📢 In news, I’m launching a new gift shop! It’s my first time designing a collection of illustrations around a theme of things that bring me comfort in my everyday life.

• I’ll be adding to the gift shop this month, so check back for new designs!

• I can also make new art prints also available on request.

• Simply sharing cartoons you enjoy with others is also a great gift.

Thanks for reading and being here ❤️
