Get Your Self-Care On



Imagine this: you’re on this journey of self-discovery, armed with all the knowledge from the mental health first aid and ASIST courses. After Day 1 of these eye-opening sessions, Cassie throws you a curveball – homework. Hold up, though, it’s not the usual kind of homework. It’s a self-care mission, tailor-made just for you with a sprinkle of care.

Now, let’s rewind for a sec. We all have those days when life seems like a giant puzzle missing a few pieces. That’s where self-care swoops in with its superpowers. It’s not just about treating yourself (though that’s a part of it!). It’s like a superhero cape that kicks anxiety and depression to the curb, gives stress a one-way ticket out of town, invites happiness to party, and turns daily annoyances into distant memories.

But here’s the twist: if we know all this magic, why do we sometimes shove self-care to the back burner? Great question, right? You know what’s even crazier? After soaking in all that wisdom from mental health first aid and ASIST, some of us nod along to self-care but then end up putting it on the “maybe someday” list. It’s like we’ve got the script but forget our lines.

Time for a plot twist. Back in 2020, a whopping 80% of our Aussie mates were all gung-ho about turning self-care into a daily ritual. But did those intentions turn into action? Cue the mystery music as we ponder the journey from intention to actually doing it.

And here comes Jessica Brukbaker, our self-care champion, with her illuminating TedTalk. She drops truth bombs about why self-care is far from being selfish. It’s like a lightbulb flicking on – suddenly, everything makes sense. Think of her talk as your VIP ticket to the land of self-care wisdom, where embracing yourself isn’t just cool – it’s essential.

So, Igniters, let’s make self-care your Cassie’s Corner homework this fortnight. Because, honestly, why not? And remember, this isn’t just another item on your to-do list. It’s a chance to put yourself first in a world that’s always on the go. Hit that link to Jessica’s TedTalk and let her words kickstart your own self-care revolution.

As you chill with your cup of tea in this cozy corner, remember: self-care isn’t just a buzzword; it’s your golden ticket to becoming the empowered, awesome you. Let’s dive into self-care, smash that myth of selfishness, and celebrate the fact that taking care of yourself isn’t just important – it’s a beautiful act of self-love. Welcome to your self-care adventure, right here at Cassie’s Corner! ?
