A Month of Mindful Self-Care

The Prompt I Fed to Claude.ai

My biggest self-care challenge is finding or creating simple, spiritual self-care practices that make me feel magical and delight me. Based on my self-care challenge, generate a personalized 30-day self-care action plan that includes daily micro-habits and weekly reflections to help me overcome this obstacle and integrate self-care into my spiritual journey. Provide specific examples of self-care practices that can be easily incorporated into my busy life at home.

I opened an email from Amy Yamada with The Power of Self-Care in the title, and read about how not prioritizing self-care can hold us back as entrepreneurs. At the end of the email, she suggested a prompt a lot like this one, though I personalized it for myself.
