Today I practiced self care by...
Hello people of RO
I wanted to make a thread where we could all keep track of our self care and encourage each other to take care of ourselves.
Today I practiced self care by taking a break from my assignment for some fresh air. How did you practice self care today?
so much fabulous self-care! WOooo
My self-care the last few days has been taking some time out to just relax with some colouring in. I photocopied this from a book from Rita Berman, and I've had so much find just colouring. It's not finished yet, but it's felt so fun!
I've also practiced self-care by taking time off work and utilising the full length of my doctor's certificate from work. I have stressed a couple times about taking the time off, but something mum said to me last night made it feel right "what is more important; work or your health?" Obviously my health! 🙂
I'm with @Claire-RO on this one @Bee - the colouring looks awesome and I bet it was a nice way to relax and take some time out!
I also LOVE what your mum said to you - she sounds really supportive! And I think it's even greater that you are able to recognize how much more important your health is and to allow yourself to take the time off, even if you felt a little guilty about it in the first place. You've got some great strength within you - don't ever lose that!! You're certainly a fighter ❤
Yeah, it was a nice moment and really make me think and prioritise myself.
I practiced self-care today by catching up with a family friend who I hadn't seen for a while. It was nice to have lunch and hang for a while 🙂
And listening to Chrissy Carols!
I'm not entirely sure if this is self-care but I wanted to share it with someone anyway so I hope you guys don't mind...
Today I practiced self-care by managing to use a grounding strategy to pull myself out of becomming disassociated while surrounded by family. It was hard work but I persevered and it paid off!! It's the first time I've managed to get a grounding strategy to actually work so it felt AMAZING!!! 😍
Today I practiced self care by doing something for someone else 🙂
I'm going to take that advice, and say that to whoever says it's not good. I wonder how they will react!
I practiced self-care by coming here to vent and reply to other users posts. It's good to let out what's been happening sometimes, even if it feels like a burden on others 🙂
// You are worth Something, not Nothing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise //

Today self-care for me involved sharing some of my chocolate at work.. those people at work must be pretty special!

Hi everyone! This is my first ever post on reach out!
Today i practiced self care by getting out my record player and listening to one of my favourite artists.
Hope you all have an amazing day!

hahaha @xXLexi_Lou122Xx , if I had a dollar for every time I've rage quit, I'd have a private jet 🙂
I think I would have a fair bit less, because I don’t rage quit very often :).
Today I practiced self care by giving myself an extra 15mins sleep in this morning
