We’ve already addressed the importance of self-care mission statements.
We’ve chatted about how self-care mission statements are like umbrellas.
These words or sentences are the overarching reason(s) why we value self-care and the actions we take to implement self-care fall underneath.
Some of us *still* found the notion of self-care statements a tad confusing (the royal us. the around here at YBB HQ us.).
To help all of us out – – we wanted to share a few examples.
One of them ours and the rest of them submitted by you.
