It's not really surprising that the phrase "self care" was a Google trend in 2020. So, I have decided to tackle "self care" in all of its many guises and look at how we can view our wellbeing holistically — in other words, how we can view it in a joined-up, intimately connected way. We don't just own a body OR a brain, so why compartmentalise ourse…
