We have been through a lot this year. Lockdowns upon lockdowns, ever changing social distancing rules, terrible events on the news and maybe you or your family were struck down with covid somewhere along the way. That’s why Sistabliss Tribe is launching ‘Self-Care September’ as I talk all things self-care, something you are challenged to prioritise this month! To get involved, jump into the Sistabliss Tribe ‘Self-Care September’ Challenge.
Self-care means different things to different people. To me, it can be anything and everything that makes a person feel better, whatever that means specifically for them. It could be mental recuperation through meditating or professional therapy. Or it could be pampering yourself with face masks or even a spray tan.
Prepare for self-care!
This simple self-care challenge is designed to put you at the centre. Tailor your own challenge, thinking about what makes you feel physically and mentally better, whilst opening your mind to trying out some new practices. Maybe you have gotten into some bad habits which are no longer serving you, and it’s time to throw those out.

The template provides space to write down and track:
- 10 new practices to try out
- 5 daily or weekly healthy habits to stick to
- 1 epic challenge to complete throughout the entire month
