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

3 self care things today

Put my feet up after a busy day

decided not to get upset by what dentist said

decided to just to be silent rather than argue with someone

I self cared today by asking my wife to write a supporter of victim's statement to the persons who raped me.

I self cared today by writing 753 words about one rape, and addressing it to the rapists.

I self cared today by dampening everything consciously, quieter, slower, more eager to say "stop".

I self cared by hanging up on someone who was raising their voice, interrupting me, speaking over me and ramping right on up themselves into resentment and anger. So I hung up on my best male friend and responded as my ideal self over a series of texts instead.

I self cared today by asking that person for a new nickname. I am a new being.

I self cared today by moving some rocks on a mountain and looking at a report about a new mountain and reaching out to a few anti-soldiers.

Put the slow cooker on to pre prep meals , normally get about 12 dinners for freezer.

cut up the chickens, lol not pet ones. I buy whole chickens when they on special and I cut em up before freezing, works out heaps cheaper than buy it already done in trays. Oh and the cat an dogs love the skin and scraps.

I told my other adult daughter I self harm. So they both know now.

I self cared today by exposing myself to metaphorical poison, thus developing resistance to it.

I self cared today by sharing the load with those people who are committed to helping me carry the load.

I self cared today by noticing I desperately desire a few bourbon and cokes, and permitting myself to have those without being excessive.

I self cared today by buying 4 bourbon and cokes, and having one open here now. I like the taste, it's sweet and bubby and comforting.
