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 a great thread! self care is so important.

Every sunday I do washing, I dont have a washing machine or a drier so I go to a laundromat.

while I wait for the washing, I use this time to relax with a coffee and a scone or 2 from the bakery, or have a cheeky asian meal at the food court or have a quiet beer at the pub.

I took a walk

spent time with my family.

Hi Gambit87 and Not_Batman!

Those are really nice self-care things. I like them alot.

Thankyou so much for posting. It's quite difficult for many of us to "do self-care", so your self-care lists really help!

Thankyou
