Hey Tayla, I'm so glad you're coming back to ask questions. No judgement sweety girl, just hugs. HUGS!
Please remember you don't have to do everything at once.
Also remember the reason I started this thread is because I found it near impossible to "do self-care" and still do, every single day.
I thought if we supported each other by recognising self-care things we DID do then maybe we'll all get better at it.
We have.
Asking questions is GREAT self-care Tayla.
The things you mention in your post above seem to hint at the areas you'd like to give more self-care attention to.... if I'm wrong then ignore this lol...
3 areas:
- general 'self-care'
- eating healthy food (that covers your diet too)
- routine.
I'll just throw out 3 suggestions, you can take these as they are, change them up, throw them out lol... TRY one or all.
1. self-care - look in the mirror and wash your face with a washer and put moisturiser on.
2. healthy food - choose a piece of fruit you like to eat, buy some, peel / prepare one piece each day.
3. routine - decide what time of day you will do a daily activity eg your shower, your lunch, coming on to the forums and DO that then.
Rome wasn't built in a day and I think that's a good analogy for those of us who struggle with self-care.
Small gains turn into larger ones when we stick to them.
Love EM
