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

Hi all,

EM, I missed talking about my nature walks, they are so important for me. Yay that you're continuing to work on Buddha!

My self cares:

1) Meditated last night.

2) Played a game for a bit before bed to take my mind off what today was going to hold.

3) Pushed the doctor to fill in the Carer's Payment forms so we can have an income. They have until now been less than supportive. It was hard.

Blue.

Good for you Blue! On ALL of your self cares.

Hi everyone,

It's a rainy old day today but luckily I still found the space to...

1. Get out for a family walk through the park

2. Do a guided meditation after work

3. Make a healthy, delicious lunch for myself

Hello

1. Today I reminded myself it’s ok to break a task down into small enough bits that getting a bit done is manageable. Promotes a sense of achievement on a low mood/energy day. 
2. Went for a walk. 
3. Screenshot some quotes that “spoke to me”. Either motivational, empowering or helping to make sense of situations. I’ll share one: 

“Strange, isn’t it? You know yourself better than anyone else, yet you crumble at the words of someone who hasn’t even lived a second of your life. Focus on your own voice, it’s the only one that matters”.

Hey Banksy, it's lovely you pushed some selfcare time into your day. They sound great even with inclement weather lol, go you! 
You're ALL troopers getting the walk with the family in, in that weather. 😀

Hey Katy, you're so clever relating searching for quotes that speak to you as selfcare, thank you for writing here about it. 
That quote you found spoke to me too...wow, how true is that? 

So many of my faves have been sarcastic in nature, might be time for me to move on from those! lol.

My 3 today: 
1. ignored more texts, Yep it's a thing! 
2. bought a book about Boundaries, refer to point 1! This book also references "self-care" in sync with boundaries... should be interesting. 

3. will have a hot bath after a long, busy day.
