This weekend, something I did for myself was bake cookies. I made cookies with toffee, chocolate chips, and pretzels inside. I made a large batch and rolled a lot of cookie dough balls to freeze so that I could have them to bake later whenever I want a cookie. I gifted some of them to my friends. I try to do something for myself at least once a week, but it’s usually spontaneous and not necessarily built into my schedule. I think that it could be helpful to start incorporating self-care into my routine so I might start blocking off time on weekends to do so.
