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
EM

Hey Sleepy, quirky and missep, NICE self-care!

Mine for today:

~ explored my garden, I am LOVING it!

~ having a rest after 9h work in the garden, got a few clunks, cuts, bruises, bites and big LUMP... can't wait for dinner

~ making an Asian Pork Hot Pot soup for dinner... thank goodness this one's easy, I'm pooped lol.

Finding and recreating my garden is a wondrous journey.

Love EM

Hi missep, Quirky, Sleepy, Em, Makalia and everyone

Self care was

1.. ..Making me feel like I have achieved something, felt ordered and less scatterered in my head by giving the kitchen a really good clean.

2....Got some fresh air and sunshine near the beach. Made me feel more alive and awake.

3....??

set up a little cosy area in my bedroom and watched shows

Hey Shelll

Did you START A SELF-CARE GAME???

Come on DOWN.... 😂💖...

our First contestant tonight is EM!!!

Okay EM it's your guess what Shelll's Number THREE self-care thing was today... you have 10 seconds to guess, the clock starts NOW!....

ummm she says SO many nice things to forum members...

ummm she's SO PATIENT with her partner....

ummm OKAY got one!

Shelll came on to the forums tonight....

Well EM you MAY have guessed correctly!

Buuuuut we'll have to wait for OTHER BB self-carers to chime in with their guesses and let SHELLL herself decide who's right!

EM waits nervously in the wings lol...

Over to you self-carers!

Shelll sending love!

coming on BB is a good one EM!

today i

had a hot drink

went for a short walk

left a task to do another day because I was tired, and did a task more simple and achievable... less stress..

[missep123]

Today my self-care:

1) My usual coffee!

2) Didn't force myself to study and let myself have big fun breaks playing my video game. I did a bit more study later so it really helped.

3) Spending time with my partner

My self care

trying something new

trying not to be disappointed when plans changed

allowing myself to make a mistake and not feel guilty

[ecomama]

They're all such nice self-care things to do.

Mine today:

~ went back to bed and had a long sleep in after a very early morning

~ bought some yummy Vietnamese food for lunch

~ bought some comfy underwear and a couple of skin care items in KMart.

I'm so happy my self-care is rubbing off on my children. It's nice watching them take care of their teenage skin, groom themselves more lovingly and take time out to be with friends.

I could learn from them! lol.
I'm learning from everyone here too.

Thankyou!
Love EM

Hi EM, I never thought of coming on BB as self care before. But yeah it is isn't it. I have the opportunity to express myself. Your post made regarding some kind of game show was funny. So it made me smile. Smiling is self care I think as well. Releases happy hormones or something.
