Three self-care things you did today!

[ecomama]

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 all...

i love this thread

a few self-care things i've been doing

1) following what i learn in hospital and presenting my meals nicely - more appealing and "treat" like.

2) short walks

3) reading the newspaper

4) having a podcast going in the background so I can tune in and out and relax

played with the dogs

Stood back and admired the renovations i have done.

Have noticed a lot of resistance coming up to self-care....

feeling like somehow it's like i've done enough self care etc... putting pressure on myself to not need it.
at those times i probably need it more than ever.

I'm hearing you Sleepy21 loud and clear. I never think I've done enough self-care... I just resist doing it completely!

BIG struggle for me.

I love your presenting food like a treat one lol! Never thought of that.
I always forget about podcasts.. hmm.

monkey_magic - lovely spending quality time with mum... awww.

Wow Not_Batman - what a set of achievements today! I think you are Batman with super powers like that! Lol. Well done you.

Thanks guys! Lots of inspiration already!
