We can do it BBers, we can do self-care.
Sleepy21 pointed out research that shows self-care REALLY helps!
Please share what you do for self-care so we can get inspiration, ideas and motivation to do it too.
Best wishes

Today I:
* shared my deep concerns for my health with my fiancee and he was very supportive and kind (which is really saying something since Trump lost lol)..
* stayed in my PJs MOST of the day which was AWESOME!
* cooked lots of yummy food and ate it lol.
* cuddled my pets alot
* spent quality time with prodigal son and got lots of hugs from him which was beautiful.
* did minimum housework and about time too.

hi all - em ur right i am in process of trying to do more self-care, just getting started!
but today was so stressful i found it hard to identify them. This care is a lifesaver, through and through!
Not_Batman I'm embarrassed to admit I washed a mildly offensive show called Workaholics on Stan
it's really stupid but i'm laughing so that's the main thing 🙂

Great work everyone. Today I:
1) Well, technically it was yesterday - I made sushi. It's not too hard, but very involved and time consuming, and I'm a bit proud that I did it.
2) Am about to go for a walk and enjoy the (finally) nice weather.
3) Wearing shorts to show off the tattoo on my leg. Way too long since the weather let me do that, I've been freezing and in long pants almost constantly since I got it. >: |

WELL DONE peeps!
You're showing us how this self-care thing is done!
My self-care is involving learning how to relax lol!
Today I:
* ate a yummy sweet potato noodle dish with Asian sauces for lunch today. I had it heating in the crock pot all night and took a thermos of it to work. The rest is in the fridge for later.
* drank kombucha - I spoilt myself and bought a bottle ages ago... my daughter wants to show me how to make it but I think it'll be too stressful tbh, IDK.
* dressed up for work today. Nice clothes, shoes and earrings etc. Luckily for THAT because I had a surprise 1:1 meeting with my boss and weird news there!
* used a trick I saw on a show, to use perfume in my hair lol. I also tried an expensive hand cream just wiped through my hair today. It was nice smelling that!
* had a nap after work.
Love EM
