The Best Self-Care Memes on Instagram
Because laughter — now that’s the ultimate in self-care.
It’s no secret that my mental health and I have quite a rocky relationship. We’re on good terms now, but there were times when I truly thought I wouldn’t make it out of the depths of the depression ocean. Thankfully, with the help of a therapist and lots of work on cultivating self-care practices for me, I can say that 2019 has been one of the best years of my life.
I know “self-care” is trendy now and has sadly turned into a capitalist scheme to get us to spend more money, but listen. As someone who drinks water, meditates, works out, AND buys wine and wears sheet masks and takes bubble baths, I am here to say that self-care is whatever YOU need to do to feel your best.
So, with all that being said, I wanted to share my favorite self-care memes for a dose of laughs — because as cliché as it is, laughter is truly the best medicine.

If you can afford it, spending half of your paycheck is truly a mood, especially when you buy some new vitamin C and hyaluronic acid. BIG MOOD.
This is something I’m trying to ingrain in my brain. Sometimes, we get sad or mad or tired, and that’s all okay! Learning to process your emotions instead of faking happiness all the time is truly the way to go. Trust me!

Hashtag very relatable, your honor.
As someone who works from home, I can attest to the magical, jittery powers of coffee.

Literally the worst advice. Just. Please. Don’t. Ever. Say. This.
Remember when we all thought crying was bad? It’s 2020, we are crying and showing our emotions, ladies and gents!

No lie, I take notes if I miss a therapy session because honey, there is just too much going on in my brain and I gotta document it all.
Whenever I’m feeling down, the first thing I do is guzzle a glass of water and then if the weather is nice, I grab a book and read outside for like 20 minutes. It’s like a big ass dose of serotonin.

Baths are the ultimate mood. Fight me if you disagree!

Why can't we just fill a pool with vitamin C and our favorite products and be Lady Gaga.

I love how honest this is. We're all struggling with something behind those gorgeous snaps of our makeup and skincare routines on insta. This was such a funny way to look at it and to just be able to say "same".
I've learned that every day we have to try our best.

Self care is so important. I’m totally guilty of indulging in beauty products to help me when I’m down. I absolutely love sitting in a bath and putting on a face mask. The heat helps activate some of the ingredients and helps my pores absorb more of the goodness.

There are many stars on Instagram.I don't do it often, but I'd better get started.I think I'm having fun.Follow me and collect good information when you are bored.It would be nice to take a walk outside instead of staying at home when the weather is nice.I think I should get out of my house often.
