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?
Today I practised self care by being honest about my feelings and speaking my truth. It isn't easy but it feels like I'm looking after myself better than I have in the past 🙂
Today I practiced self-care by baking cookies. I love baking, it gets me feeling so relaxed to bop around the kitchen with a wooden spoon microphone and creating sweet treats!
Today I practiced self care by cancelling all my plans for tonight so I can have a early night to recharge my energy for the week
@Bee I love your description of splashing in puddles, I love watching the rain at the moment too 🙂
@JazzInMay love some baking/ singing - I'm also a huge fan of baking for self-care, but I haven't made anything for awhile. What did you make?
Today I practised self-care by getting up 10 minutes before everyone else in my family and enjoying my cup of coffee in peace and quiet! I listened to the birds in the trees, and really appreciated the moments of calm before the chaos of the morning routine descended 🙂
it felt so nice 😄
Today I practiced self care by allowing myself some free time to go to the gym for a quick workout. Doesn't seem like much but it helps me to feel happy and confident in myself! 🙂
Welcome to our forums @Daisy17 - I know exactly what you mean. Going to the gym is great for my mental health / well-being too. Good on you for practicing some self-care
Going back to sleep when I woke up at 7am.
I was going to get up early to go to the gym but I've still got the remnants of a head cold lingering about and felt I could use the extra rest and not push my body so hard. It was difficult because I've been feeling kinda bad about my self-image lately and wanted to work out but I think it was the best decision.
Today I practiced self care by going bouldering with a mate. The exercise helped calmed my nerves.
I also practiced self-care by organising my books and uniforms for school tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, but it also means catching the train with my siblings without a parent. It's kinda a first for them, but I've done it before.
Bouldering sounds like fun @AlyssinWonderland!
Today I practiced self care by coming to work via a different route- a great way to see new things and feel energised in the morning
It is really fun! Not only do you work out your body, but also your brain. I love the problem solving aspect of it. 🙂
Also, your self care sounds interesting. I might try that too when going to uni.
Having that mental challenge is amazing @AlyssinWonderland! I always find a state of flow with activities that work my mind as well as my body!
Today for self care I have been carrying a water bottle with me everywhere I go to increase my hydration
@AlyssinWonderland I've always wanted to try bouldering, did you start out in a climbing gym first? I have a cousin who lives in NZ who is super into bouldering, there's some amazing spots over there to climb and he even built his own mini bouldering gym in his garage 
My self- care for today was actually quite boring but very effective - I went to bed super early last night, and I am so glad I did today! I have a really early start on Wednesdays and it was nice to feel a bit more refreshed than usual and ready to face the day.
I wasn't even that mad when my cat woke me up like this, just before 6am 😉
