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?

Waking up early, make myself a hot cup of tea, and just snuggle in my blanket and watch my favorite youtube videos. Best way to start my weekend.

Today I practiced self care by:

Eating some chocolate after not having any junk food all week 

Slept in!!! Woke up without an alarm, which is so so amazing as I almost never get to do that - I almost always have to get up for something 

Went to the gym and did different exercises than I would normally do, pretended I was Manny Pacquiao and punched the boxing bag 😄

Not going to work, recognizing that I need a break and giving myself that by calling my mum and relaxing with a book and a cup of tea.

Today I practiced self-care by going to the doctor for a general check up on my physical health. I normally keep such a close eye on my mental health, so now I am dedicated to making my physical wellbeing a priority too 🙂

I practiced self care by having a hot bath and burning a vicks candle on the counter to help my current sickness which has me on two prescription meds, coughy and with a scratchy voice that comes and goes.

Today I practiced self care by doing some big cleaning jobs around my house. Now that my space is clean and tidy my mind feels more at ease being here too! Woman Very Happy

@recharging_introvert isn't it amazing how much of a difference a clean and visually appealing space can make to our mental health? I noticed a huge improvement in my mental health when I moved from a small, dark house to a light-filled house. Not to mention my pet cat was so much happier too!
