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

Taylah, how could they hate you!

Booked myself a docs appt, to get a referral to see my psychologist again.

took a mental health day

went for a nature walk with Mrs. Not_Batman to talk things through.

Ended up decluttering, organising the car shed, and filling holes in the roof to keep the rain water out.

Everyone seems to hate me Not_Batman, I guess a therapist would too. I probably annoy him.

Nice self care you have, I love how you wrote Mrs Not_Batman, haha

[Not_Batman]

Hi Tayla. Well since weve never me, i think its not possible for me to hate you.

[Guest_4643]

I guess you're right Not_Batman, but people who don't even know me and have never met me do. Thank you for the kind words though. I've been bullied my whole life online and in person.

perhaps more of a reminder for myself. bit down my myself but still self care.... On Monday...

1. chat with C

2. coffee and chat with G (coffee for me was chip and soft drink)

3. reading Daring Greatly

On Tue...

1. reading Daring Greatly (something I read in bed)

2. listening to relax melodies. (good and bad here... sounds nice but like I was watching vs participating)

3. an old friend came to office for a chat

I absolutely agree that reading these SC points is refreshing and also inspiring.

I don’t often do something during the day specifically for me except for some housework. So this thread has got me thinking about how I do things throughout the day. Perhaps breaking the day day up into sections e.g doing some of the chores then something for me, then some downtime

I feel that when we’re happier and feeling better about ourselves we are able to do more and enjoy more.

So far today I’ve,

made myself a cup of peppermint tea

read and posted in this thread

opened the blinds to let natural light in

[Guest_4643]

- Bought myself some more colouring books, might buy more. You can never have enough, haha.

That's all so far.

Tayla.

even after all of these years i am still terrible at staying in the lines. I have one of this paint by numbers apps and Now my colouring is perfect 😉 at least on the screen.

[Guest_4643]

Hey Not_Batman. I colour outside the lines too, it's so hard! I look at some people's colouring in, painting, etc. and it's just like WOW, like a photograph. And I think how? I wish I could to that.

I also have a Colour By Numbers app on my iPad, called Happy Colour - it's free, and quite relaxing. So many pictures.
