What’s your (self care) ‘thing’ today?

**Paula** · 25-05-23, 09:52 PM

We often talk about self care on the forum, but I’ve noticed we haven’t been particularly proactive about discussing what we’re going to do to look after ourselves. So, I wondered if it’d be good to start a discussion where we each come up with one self care ‘thing’ that we’ll try to do each day.

So mine for today:

I won’t obsessively check the forum after 11pm tonight

What’s yours (please don’t leave me hanging)?

For me personally today was helping a mate out with her dogs. It’s something I’ve committed to for a week and I know that doesn’t sound like self care to most, but I love dogs and having time with non-humans is huge for me. I get to help someone else while helping myself too.

Today I went for a coffee date with my daughter

Today I ordered myself a second pair of glasses - the extra cost was worth paying to have a different look to choose from

I had an afternoon nap.

Today I slept until 10:30. Much needed after a busy couple of days

Today, I looked at holiday destinations
