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

Hey quirky!

Thankyou for posting your self-care things!
WOW you reminded us that replacement thinking is a self-care thing!

LOVE YOUR WORK! lol.

My 3 self-care things:

* bundled my list of errands and did them all in one (long) hit..

* finally went to Return and Earn and got $27.90 which is AWESOME. This was supposed to be for my self-care jar but it'll have to go towards Christmas presents for the kids and grandkids.

* got to have a quick visit and a cuppa with my daughter - SO NICE!

Love EM

yay em well done getting so much done in an easy way

Good work all - you're superstars.
- bought a new fluffy towel

-took a break from the neighbours , will say hi to them later but i needed some space

- hot shower and washed hair

Great work, all. EM, I'm curious about this return and earn. Is that can & bottle recycling, or something else?

Today, I:

- Made muesli and yoghurt.

- Got the payoff from some earlier self-care, my fancy D&D and Warhammer 40K dice arrived, and they're gorgeous.

- Decluttered a bit.

Yes! Great work everyone! we are NAILING this self-care thang hahaha... going great everyone.
Hugs!

Sleepy oh yeah boundaries... aren't they SO important as we begin to tune into when it's a good time to leave? lol.

Blue - OMG you would LOVE Return and Earn!
I'll pop over to your Managing money thread and spill it out there.

My 3 self-care things haven't really begun today really.... I'll be back!

Love EM

Hey EM - boundaries - so important. It's easy to not go to things or just go even if u dont want to - i can do that. But leaving is a real challenge. To just check out when we need it - no need for a fancy excuse. Learning as I go 🙂
How are u?

Today I -

- watched an episode of a tense drama (loved it)

- Listened to a podcast

- Sent a message to a person who is caring and has not heard for me for a while
