I wanted to create this 7 day self care challenge for a very long time after I wrote a post for 30 day self care challenge for the people who find it difficult to do a 30 day challenge at first.

I created this challenge and a workbook for anyone who, like me, struggles to fit effective self care into their day-to-day lives. And I think that a 7 day self care challenge is a good start for creating time for yourself.

This challenge is proof that you don’t have to spend money or a lot of time each day taking care of yourself. Simply offer yourself a little bit of kindness and forgiveness every single day for a week

Seven days to a healthier you.
