How do you make time for self-care?
I find it, Willy nilly, trying, searching, creating, self-care…
Conceptually so fundamental, critical, yet in practice comes usually in fits, an occasional start, a moment here or there, a few deep breaths, another bite, another glass, a walk around somewhere, a smile given, accepted, a few more hours of sleep, a wandering convo, a scribble,
These are a several ways I find my self care,
GOOD.

And of Willy nilly, Gemini says,
“
Willy-nilly means happening whether you want it to or not (unavoidably), or done in a haphazard, disorganized, or random manner.
Depending on the context, it carries two main meanings:
- Haphazardly or without planning / direction:“He threw his clothes willy-nilly into the suitcase.” “Don’t spend your savings willy-nilly on things you don’t need.”
- Whether willing or not (compulsorily):“Willy-nilly, we had to follow the new rules once they took effect.”
Origin
The phrase originated in 16th-century English as a contraction of “will I, nill I” or “will he, nill he” (where nill is the archaic opposite of will, meaning “to not will” or “to refuse”). Literally, it translates to “whether I want to or not.” Over time, its meaning expanded from “unavoidable” to also mean “disorganized or haphazard.”
