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
