Quotes About Self Care

One of the big takeaways when going thru the Enneagram that I am not sure everyone grasps, is that learning about yourself is self care. Self care to everyone of us looks different.

For me, learning self care all started as a silly free online quiz – then processing from doing a self Enneagram test . I’ve totally been spending the last year engaging in what each type means, who am I and what can I learn from all of this. For me, this type of self care, knowing who I am has been everything.
