Editor’s Note: This post is brought to you by Johna Jenkins, a nurse practitioner, and the co-founder of our sister brand A Plan for Health.

As we approach Valentine’s Day, I’m thinking a lot about self-care in 2022. What does self-care even mean? It’s been discussed and debated and co-opted by brands trying to sell you things (Hi, we’ve definitely done this too!). Has self-care lost all its meaning?

Practicing gratitude — actively choosing to feel it, experience it, and act on it — will make you happier. But, gratitude, is not a one-and-done thing, that’s…
I haven’t always been good with routines. When I was in college, I spent a day mapping out the perfect plan for my daily and weekly life. Gridlines on notebook paper were the original Bullet Journal, and my hand-drawn schedule reflected the best intentions. I took it to work the next day and showed it…
