Who wants to play Self Care Truth or Dare? We found this pick-a-stick game that helps put your self care at the top of the list. Here is an example. What are you choosing?

Dare: This week, make time to stargaze or watch a sunrise or sunset.

Truth: Do you have enough time to yourself or are you overcommitted? Do you tend to say yes when you want to say no?
