Have guilt and shame shaped how you treat yourself—and is it time to break that pattern with something more honest, more healing?

At Planted By Calm, we believe self-care and self-love aren’t indulgent—they’re necessary. Especially when guilt and shame have taken root, you need practices that restore dignity, renew self-trust, and gently pull you out of emotional survival mode.

This list offers 43 creative, grounding, and quietly powerful ways to tend to yourself with truth. They’re real, restorative actions you can take to nurture emotional safety, wholeness, and calm in your everyday life.

To keep these practices within reach and woven into your rhythm, here are a few ways to use your list daily:

• Print it and post it where your self-care is most likely to be forgotten

• Choose one idea each day, or week, to anchor yourself in nourishment

• Highlight the ones that speak loudest to your healing right now

This list was created to help you feel seen, equipped, and empowered to love yourself through what guilt and shame tried to erase.

Taking care of you is not the problem. It's part of the answer.
