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 wonderful BB Self-carers! 

 

Today my self-care was:
~ spending quite a lot of time cooking, pre-cooking. I made up a new recipe and hope it tastes ok lol
~ worked on my 181 Day Savings Challenge
~ spent some time cuddling with our cat with my electric blanket on in bed, it's SO COLD! 

Love EM

Hey BBers, please join in and share any self-care you're up to nowadays. 

 

My self-care today was: 
~ having a delicious, nutritious lunch whilst out shopping with the kids
~ bought a lovely light shade for my bedroom. My room is stark and in different states of repair but ahhh getting there..
~ getting organised tonight with this week's lunches, clothing and snacks for work for us all. I feel much better when I'm at least a BIT organised 🙂

 

Love EM

It's great to see everyone engaging in some self-care 🙂

Today I
- Went for a walk

- Read some of my book

- Chatted to other members on the forums

I woke this morning knowing it needed to be a gentle day. So self-care is:

 

1. Cosy-ing up in a blankie and reading two books I’m part way through.

2. Watching the birds in my garden.

3. Practising not putting myself under any pressure to do more (as I so often do, even when I’m not up to it).

 

Wishing everyone a peaceful day 💕

  2. Went to the gym/stretched
  3. Will be doing a face mask to unwind

Those are lovely ideas for self-care people!

 

Today my self-care looks like: 

~ changing out a few things that were adding a "clutter type" look to certain spots, it's a work in progress! lol
~ spending time with my new fave minimalism channel on YT

~ made a nutritious, delicious brunch for us with our own chicken's eggs... gotta love that lol. 

 

Hope you have a wonderful evening
Love EM

Hey BB people! 

Today my self-care looked like... 
~ made a delicious dinner from frozen leftovers, there's none left so the kids must have liked it too lol!
~ had cuddle time with my pets
~ used moisturiser on my face and no make up for work today. I'm thinking to go with this bare faced look with only sunscreen added.

Dear BB self-carers, please pot any self-care you've done today. 
These are good habits to have and extremely helpful in our journeys towards physical & mental wellbeing. 

 

My self-care today: 
~ pulled out of an boking I didn't want to attend tonight (it's too cold and far too wet to go out for me lol)

~ popped into my warmest PJs and 2 extra layers to get warm
~ prepared a simple dinner.
