Getting on top of self care
Hi guys, at the suggestion of @scared01, I would like to work on a self care plan.
My current methods of self care are:
- Listening to music
- Having a relaxing cup of tea
- Mindfulness
- Breathing exercises
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to go about this, it would be much appreciated. 🙂

It's a good start, but I need more help in putting a solid plan in place. It's important to have it in my safety plan, yes, but I also need to be able to spot the very first initial warning signs as well. @scared01 @Esperanza67
- Reading a book
- Listening to music
- Doing some art (drawing, painting. I've just recently got into altered book art which I reckon is really good self-care exercise)
- Watching comedies
@scared01 I really suck at hobbies to be honest. Thanks for putting down journalling, I already do that, but for some reason didn't write it down! I do read sometimes as well, but I haven't done it much lately.
@Esperanza67 I'm now really interested - what's altered book art? Those sound great!
hey @mrmusic, altered book art is pretty much taking a book and doing whatever you want with it - draw on it, paint all over it, etc. Below are pictures of some examples (but as you can see, some artists really take it to the next level):
It's pretty time-consuming to do but as you can see it is worth it in the end
