Self-care
Zine series
Illustrations
I got the amazing opportunity to be a contributor on UNSW's online magazine; BLITZ. With all the stress that university students go through during exams I was asked to illustrate a series for a zine with self care as the theme.
Usually when we talk about self-care what comes to our mind is an indulgence - how we decide to indulge in a long bath or through shopping or through anything else that gives pleasure. But self care could mean tough love at times, it could mean how we choose to improve our physical and mental health and much more.
​
This series focuses on the aspect of self care as a regular thing, something that needs to be a daily practice. It's more like a discipline or a ritual.
There are a multitude of sensations that we feel and experience being in a physical body. When we take responsibility for being aware of our sensations, thoughts, beliefs, behaviours, and actions, our lives become more exciting and enriching. Let
us tune in to life to learn more, be more and do more.

Toxicity and toxic people are everywhere. Dealing with individuals is difficult and stressful. Stress can have a lasting, negative impact on our health and years of stress can permanently destroy the neurons in our brain. On the other hand, positive influences and experiences have an opposite effect on every aspect of our life. Hence it is essential to identify those hot spots of positivity and encouragement and move towards them. These could be certain people in your life or places, practices or even experiences and the more you move towards them the more you will find yourself blooming.
