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

Today
Went for a walk
Napped on the lounge
Made nice dinner

[Lillylane]

1. Gave myself some time in the garden. Weeding mainly. Deciding where my chilli pepper plant will go 🙂

2. Sang along to some Frozen 2 songs (my kids were watching the movie). I think I like the music from movie 2 even more than 1.

3. Made myself an extra large coffee.

Hi Sleepy,

This made me smile... I’ve been asked this question many times too. But my mind usually goes a bit blank. Usually I think of making myself a cup of tea.
I honestly don’t know what I’d do without my kettle.

Hi guys!

Awesome self-care. You really inspire me!

1) I spent time doing a face mask

2) Went and treated myself to a nice lunch with a friend

3) Bought myself two tops on sale! (that's my favourite self-care of today)

Hey Not_Batman! OFCOURSE YOU WERE listening to the peppers in the garden lol.
Us Superheroes are connected via ESP... and the garden responds lol.

A few historical scars shows CHARACTER in our furniture, just like us. 😉

Wow the other Superheroes have been BUSY too!

Hey Sleepy.... It sounds like you have some really good self-care strategies in place!
because ya DO! Cheeky thing lol... whatever gets you through Sleeps.
Zero judgement except that you're AWESOME. 😇

Nice ones Guest_630.... I can't even SEE our lounge atm so you're going great at yours! 🤗

Hey Lilly lol there's a theme with chillies and gardens today. HOT HOT HOT places chillies like.
So funny wondering what music you like best from your kids movies lol... mine had Hi 5 oh yeah!
We watched every video lol of theirs so many times, we had a favourite song of each member in the group not only a favourite member. 😏🤩

OH YEAH missep, LOVE new tops! I also like that you had lunch with a friend too 😍🥰

So nice to be here with you all.... loving this thread.

Mine to add:

* visited a friend and we got to work out what's wrong with our children, our partners, the U.S. Govt and the world.... just light conversation lol!
FELT GREAT lol.

* put my new clothes hanging wrack together...is that how you spell wrack? Anyway it's a temporary fix in my new bedroom.

* held each piece of clothing and asked if it "sparked JOY".... ditched some and that's an amazing feeling. One tenth down lol.

Going great everyone!

Love EM

Hi EM,

My chilli pepper is a mild yellow one. It says ‘easy to grow’ on the tag, so I thought I’d give it a go.

From last night...

1. cleaning kitchen

3. watching movie (with wife)

[TheBigBlue]

1. Got outside to enjoy the sunshine today

2. just relaxed & let my anxieties fade away for the afternoon. That’s not normally something I can do, but being outside in the sunshine has just made me feel content.

3. it’s been a few weeks, but I’m getting back into my art

[quirkywords]

I took advantage of the sun by washing sheets and drying them in the sun.

I helped my partner measure wood for decking

i sat int the sun and looked at my lavender.

[TheBigBlue]

Hi Quirky,

I bet the lavender smelled lovely too!
