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

Okay, I haven't been thinking much about self-care, just about doing basics, like taking a shower including washing hair, despite the cold. Otherwise I'm keeping warm in fleecey shirt/jacket & new trackpants & wearing a second pair of anklet socks over my compression socks, to keep feet warm. & today, I (despite how cool it is outside), I opened my windows & doors some (not the security doors), to let some air flow through, thinking, this dreaded Lurgy is still with me because maybe, here in my little flat, I am re-infecting myself with it!

Well done, everyone!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

2. Bought myself a pair of gumboots to keep my feet dry while in the garden this winter.

I had grapes too, Quirky. I'll call that one of my three self-care activities for today.

I called two of my best friends today, which is always quite cathartic for me and I would consider it self-care. I also did some journalling 🙂

Today, I managed to sleep in (having woken & awake twice, for nearly an houreach time), so I got a total of maybe 6 hours sleep. I din't really actively sleep in until nearly 9am, but, considering how little sleep I've been getting lately, 6 hours feels like self-care.

When I did get up, I was feeling too cold, & turned my heater on, knowing it's costing money.

& I've had porridge, for my tummy. (with strawberries. I have grape for later.)
