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,

LTF I like that comment about beach time without looking at the time! Crazy good!

Tonite I had a long hot bath, and am just relaxing now in my bathrobe. H is at work, T is at nanas, so it’s me time. Lovely!

love to all!

Hi guys!

Loving everyone's self-care 🙂

Today I will:

1) Start my day off with a honey, lemon and ginger tea and watch Netflix. I find this very relaxing

2) Play the new Switch game I bought online! That will keep me preoccupied and happy

3) I will order McDonalds and try their new birthday McFlurry (following Covid safety guidelines of course)

I self cared today by speaking up about how I feel about no-reply emails.

I noticed that my feet are freezing and got up for a walk.

I'm sipping a tawny port.

Happy Friday all!

I've been a bit "meh" this week, but this morning I:

  1. Had a shower, washed my hair and blow-dried it nicely;
  2. Gave my puppy a bath which always makes me smile because he is so fluffy afterwards;
  3. Put on a nice fluffy jumper that feels like a soft hug (and isn't my stock standard hoody that I've been rocking lately).

The sun is also shining so bright, so I might take a seat outside soon and feel the warmth on my face.

Take care everyone x

Hi Jstar49 and All,

I must admit it’s a luxury when it happens to me (not checking what time is it) but I try when I can.

Today it’s going to be very rainy and cold and windy so...

I am going to bake a cake.

Eat some of if while it’s still warm.

I’m going to re-wright the recipe for this cake in the new cooking notebook as my old one is sadly falling apart.

Hope to get some butter and cake stains on the new one soon. It feels too new.

Warm wishes to Everyone.

Take care.

Hey, Learn to Fly,

I just noticed you are a Community Champion. Congratulations to you! Sorry I missed this earlier. Wishing you all the best in this role.

My self care things for the day have not happened yet! I plan to

1) Go for an early morning walk with my sister then have morning tea with her before work.

2) I'm going to try really hard to change my attitude towards work especially when I have nothing to do but sit there and wait for the phone to ring or for someone to drop in. Maybe I can write a list of everything I can be thankful for!

3) I might enjoy a nice hot bath when I get home, that sounds like a wonderful treat.

Cheers all from Dools

This days self care started with a bang...

I noticed my disappointment about receiving a "no reply" message from something.

I gave myself space and breath to regather my centre.

And then I jumped back into the fray, just as determined.

Been shopping and got all the ingredients I need To pre prep meals.

going to put a big chicken curry on And Then a big devilled sausages.

then will put single serves in containers And freeze, saves cooking everyday . Plus I prefer my main meal at lunch time.
