WW Activity: Give to yourself
This week's activity comes from @mspaceK again! What a legend
We've done a few activities before about giving to others, and appreciating others.
But this week is about YOU.
This week's activity is to give to yourself!
Think about what can do to treat yourself this week - it could be having a solo date at a cafe, going for a walk with your favourite music, having a bath, or buying yourself something special.
Questions:
1. What did you do, or will you do this week to treat yourself?
2. Think of something nice you can say to yourself as your receive/ give this gift to yourself . imagine you were someone else getting it for you, and what you would write on the card, or say as you gave the gift. Why do you deserve this gift?
I'll start us off:
1. This week I will treat myself by booking a massage.
2. "Gina, you deserve this gift because even though your life can be really hard, you keep going and keep loving those around you".
Your turn!
Remember it doesn't have to be fancy or expensive - just a way to appreciate and give to yourself
I'm leaving ReachOut on the 5th of June

Re: WW Activity: Give to yourself
Love it!!
I painted my nails a few days ago, but I'm going to count it as part of this week.
1. What did you do, or will you do this week to treat yourself?
Paint my nails and buy myself some popcorn as a snack.
2. Think of something nice you can say to yourself as your receive/ give this gift to yourself . imagine you were someone else getting it for you, and what you would write on the card, or say as you gave the gift. Why do you deserve this gift?
"Dear me, uni can be stressful - life in general can be stressful, especially this month - and it's extra important to be gentle with yourself. You are allowed to take a break from studying, and you are allowed to spend money on food for yourself. It's important to keep yourself well fed and nourished, even if that means spending a little extra here and there. You've got this."

Re: WW Activity: Give to yourself
This is an awesome activity!
1. This weekend I will treat myself by going on a mini shopping spree as I scored some extra shifts at work in the last 2 weeks.
2. "You deserve this gift because you have worked a lot and have been saving a lot recently. You have also had a hard time finding jobs/volunteer opportunities, but there are some options opening up so treat yourself with this spree to celebrate!"

Re: WW Activity: Give to yourself
This week I allowed myself to express how I have truly been feeling rather than hiding and pretending that everything is okay. I haven't felt okay and I told people about it and so I got to spend some time with therapy dogs and gave myself 2 days off work. I deserved the time off and to relax with the dogs because I let other people/animals look after me for a change.

Re: WW Activity: Give to yourself
1. What did you do, or will you do this week to treat yourself?
I let myself have a bit of a more 'chill' week workwise with more me time than usual
2. Think of something nice you can say to yourself as your receive/ give this gift to yourself . imagine you were someone else getting it for you, and what you would write on the card, or say as you gave the gift. Why do you deserve this gift?
Tasi, you deserve not be 100% full force all the time. That is a recipe for burning out. You may feel less productive this week but over all this will help to keep you going and you should never feel guilty for needing down time or having a slower week.

Re: WW Activity: Give to yourself
Yay, self care!
1. What did you do, or will you do this week to treat yourself?
I had a long bath yesterday, with bubble bath and a bath bomb.
2. Think of something nice you can say to yourself as your receive/ give this gift to yourself.
Hozzles, it's okay to rest sometimes and take the time to simply enjoy doing nothing. Battling with anxiety and depression is exhausting and you deserve some time to yourself. Think about how your tense muscles will benefit from the relaxation -- you will feel much better in the end.
