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

Hi all,

Some great things on your lists, good to see you guys taking care of yourselves. My list:

- Talked to my family about scrapping the usual Christmas festivities. They were actually really relieved that I brought it up - we agreed to a casual sushi date somewhere in the vicinity of the day and no presents in future. So much easier!

- Slept in and snuggled with my birds. My favourite self care.

- Worked on a creative thing with my partner. Good for both of us, individually and as a couple.
