When someone tells me to "look after yourself", I always picture myself cuddled up in a blanket and sipping a warm cup of tea. In reality, however, looking after ourselves is not always that pleasant. It can be really hard and take effort - for example, sometimes going for a walk outside can help when you're sick, because of the fresh air and light exercise, but that so isn't what we feel like doing!

If we put in the effort to get up and have that walk, however, it is better for us in the long run, and we are showing ourselves love, which will boost our moods. Let's all wrap up warm and have a stroll in the garden!

Here's a story about a time when I didn't look after myself well enough when it was hard for me, and it all went wrong.

I have a phobia of going to the dentist because of a bad experience when I was little, so when my tooth got sore, I tried to ignore it. I ignored it and ignored it, until I woke up on the day of a concert I was really excited to go to, with half my face swollen up! Not only was the concert not very fun, but I was forced to go to the dentist after all, to have a painful and expensive root canal done.

If I had looked after myself properly, I would have gone to the dentist earlier, even though I was scared. Although it would have been hard for me, I wouldn't have wasted all that money, and I would have spent less time at the dentist overall!

So look after yourself, dolls - even if it is hard!
