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

This is actually for Thursday:

I was very nearly ready to go for my appointment when my helper arrived. She was a few minutes early, so maybe a few minutes more & I would have beed? Maybe.

I ensured I was wearing almost no metal, so I (hopefully) would not have to change into a gown. It was okay. I did have to remove my jacket, so was a little cool. I was almost able to keep still for the entire time while the scan was done. 😺

I had a salad for lunch, thinking to catch up on having more greens.

So far today;

Phoned Lifeline to talk through my panic and sadness.

made a to do list to keep me focussed

made a coffee to break the cycle (by doing something different for a while)

Gave support on BB because we all need some sometimes.

Love this thread.

I'll approach this from the angle of three self-care things I intend to do today:

Treat myself to a nice warm tea (the weather is shocking)

Read a few chapters of my new book

Have a play on the piano, perhaps continue writing one of my songs

Today for self-care:

1) Had a nice relaxing cup of coffee

2) Started to clean my room! I feel as though I am in such a better mindset when I clean it!

3) Spent time with my family and partner
