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?

Well done for being able to step back and recognise that you needed a day off from study. It can be really hard to do this but so important if you are not feeling up to it @Jack1423 🙂 Were you able to practice some self-care?

I've been practising self care by colouring in 🙂

I'm going to play a game tonight to chill and relax (if it wants to load 😛 )

Today I practiced self care by finally, finally buying a new pair of ANC (active noise cancelling) headphones. Expensive, yes. But worth it? Absolutely. And this will make things so much easier in the long run.

I practiced self-care by coming onto RO to seek some support that I couldn't get anywhere else.

Today I practiced self care by taking some time away from assignments, and writing in my bullet journal instead!

 

Hope everyone else is having a lovely day and practicing self care!

Today I practiced self care by taking myself for a walk and listening to a goal setting podcast because I woke up very anxious

I love pod casts, do you have a favourite?

I also love podcasts. Here are a couple of my current favourites:
1. Hidden Brain
Looks into how our brains work, and psychology. Done by NPR in the States. Really well produced.
2. Drew and Drew's Grandma
Youtuber Drew Monson and his grandma, Dorothy, delve into everything under the sun. Really sweet and funny, I love the dynamics of their relationship. Drew is really open with struggling with his mental health sometimes, and I find him really relatable.
3. Into Intentional
Christie focuses on intentional living, zero-waste and has recovered from an ED. Really inspiring and uplifting. Great for starting a productive day.

I have so many favourites but these are the first three to come to mind.

Listening to podcasts are such a great way to do some self-care @MisoBear thanks for sharing your favourites 🙂

I practiced self-care by doing yoga even though I didn't feel like doing it and getting my washing done.

I practiced self-care today by talking to my friend's about my day and debriefing on things that overwhelmed me.

Today I practiced self care by grabbing a museli bar thing to eat for breakfast and drinking water after I got home.

And going to my appointments even though I didn't want to.
