Hey there, I’m Megan Johnson, and honestly, I’ve never been the type of person to spend a lot of time on self-care. I’m a 34-year-old graphic designer living in Austin, Texas, and my life is busy — between work, family, and trying to squeeze in a workout here and there, it can be hard to find the time to take care of myself.
For the longest time, I didn’t think much about the little things, like cleaning my ears or trimming nose hair. But recently, I started realizing that these small things really matter. They may seem insignificant, but they’re part of taking care of myself, and they do make a difference in how I feel throughout the day.
So, I started setting aside just a few minutes each morning for those tasks — things I used to skip. It wasn’t about looking perfect, but just feeling like I was doing something for myself. And honestly, it’s made a bigger impact than I expected.
I’m not someone who spends a lot of money or time on elaborate routines, but taking a moment for myself, even if it’s just five minutes, has helped me feel more confident and grounded. It’s a small change, but it’s been a game-changer for my day-to-day life.
It’s funny how much of a difference little habits like these can make. They’re quick, they’re simple, and they help me feel like I’m in control of the small things — which, surprisingly, makes a big difference overall.
