Day 4 - Self-Care Choose Your Own Adventure
Updated: Nov 22
How It Works
30-Day "Choose Your Own Adventure" Self-Care Challenge where each day you choose between nurturing your inner Gremlin (embracing chaos, fun, and breaking rules) and being your Higher Self (grounded, nurturing, and wise).
This balance will help you explore both sides of your self-care needs, from lighthearted fun to deeper reflection.
Day 4: Rest Day
Gremlin Choice:
Power Nap - Rebel Take a nap wherever you feel like it today—on the couch, in a hammock, or even on the floor if that’s where you land. Don’t set an alarm, just let yourself drift off in the most unconventional spot.
Higher Self Choice:
Full Rest Ritual - Create a sacred space for sleep tonight. Light candles, play calming music, and give yourself permission to rest deeply. Focus on how you can nurture your body’s need for recovery.
