If you are a regular visitor to my site, it is not news to you I write a ton about having a self-care planner in place. I’ve been writing about it far too often lately. I was also trying to come up with something to help you create a self-care routine all last week. So today, I am sharing a free self-care planner template so you can begin your journey to mental wellness!

It is necessary that you have a plan. A self-care plan or a self-care planner in place to help you nurture your inner self.

You gotta remember first and foremost, without mental and personal health, there is no me and you. We have to be in top shape so we can tend to our lives and families. It is never a good idea to put self-care at the bottom of your to-do list. You may think, “oh well, I will get to it when everything else on the list is taken care of”. And it is no secret that it hardly ever happens. Because why? We DO NOT give priority to our self-care, our mental wellness. To most of us, it is not even important.

I mean, as long as everything else is running smoothly, who cares right? Not even you? About you?
