Make Self-Care Fun: Self-Care Bingo (Free Printable)

Ever feel like life's throwing you one curveball after another, leaving you scrambling to find your footing? Us too.

So much so that it feels like there's no time to take care of ourselves/it feels like taking care of ourselves is on the back burner.

And even if you try to care for yourself, it becomes one more thing to check off your to-do list.

There was a time when self-care was truly that. We could get out more, be more spontaneous, or just do something to improve our well-being (health, wealth, career).

So, we at Zainab Adams Official decided to help you out by putting a twist on a traditional game.

Introducing self care bingo, where putting yourself first is as easy as marking off a bingo square.✨

Ready? Let's play! ♟️
