You may make a point to practice self-care – but do you do so fully? Or is your self-care lopsided, engaging your mind but not your spirit, your body but not your soul?

1. Adventurous Self-Care:

Choosing to pepper our lives with adventure can open the mind and awaken the soul. It keeps us from falling into an internal rut. Go on a hike through the woods, or explore a new city. Take a class in a topic that has always interested you. Become involved politically. Do anything that stretches your comfort zone and makes you feel alive.
