    Podcast Summary

    • Indulging in hobbies or buying new things as self-careSelf-care involves treating yourself to activities or items that bring joy and engage emotions, like buying new yarn or visiting a bookstore, to help recharge and tackle challenges.

      Self-care is an essential practice to lift your mood when you're feeling down. Jackie and Diana shared their personal experiences of how buying new yarn and visiting bookstores or yarn shops, respectively, brings them joy and serves as their form of retail therapy. This simple act of indulging in a hobby or purchasing something new can provide a sense of hope and excitement, even during the end of a challenging week. So, if you're feeling the Saturday blues, consider treating yourself to something that brings you joy and engages your emotions, be it a new notebook, yarn, book, or a new Netflix series. Remember, self-care is a powerful tool to help you recharge and tackle the challenges that come your way.
