Today I practiced self care by...

Hello people of RO Smiley Happy

 

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?

Thought i'd jump on the bandwagon. sometimes technology just makes my head hurt/eyes dry and overall not feeling good. so today's self-care was taking a walk with my partner and enjoying some nice, cold air 🙂 rather than mellowing at home the whole day

I try to practice a small self care task daily. It can be anything from enjoying my favourite food or cleansing my face. I love making the conscious choice to do something just for me every day. 🙂

Today I practiced self care by practicing my morning routine which involves writing in a journal, taking my dog for a walk and doing some light yoga and stretches focused on breathing! Smiley Very Happy

Today I practiced self care by having a healthy (and delicious) lunch with protein and fresh vegies and complex carbs.

Loving all of these! Today I practiced self care by putting my phone away and enjoyed eating my lunch outside watching the birds in the big gumtrees near our house 🙂 @Mayour  I'm a huge believer in a huge, restorative sleep when times are tough! What podcasts are you listening to at the moment?

Last night I practised self-care when I was feeling a little stressed by going to bed early and listening to some funny podcasts, rather than trying to continue to work. Getting a hearty, relaxing sleep when things are feeling intense can be a massive help:)

Today I practiced self-care by going for a long morning walk and listening to my favourite song on repeat to take a time out from homework and just destress to reset my mindset before approaching the rest of my day.

@h0peful right now my favourite song is 'When She Loved Me' by Sarah McLachlan, it's just such a soothing a beautiful song!

Today I practiced self care by having a shower and eating in the morning instead of forgetting to do so until super late
