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

[Strugglingmum]

Today it's a walk in the fresh air

I had a haircut and a shower and put on clean PJs.

This is especially true today…..

I’m trying. It’s been a bad start to the day already. Got an emergency vet appointment this morning.

What's happened?

Puppy has been throwing up when she eats. Noticed this morning a worm in her vomit which is not good. Thankfully, since being given antiemetic jab and another dose of dewormer she seems to be doing ok. She’s so tiny and been through so much in her short life already Gotta take her back tomorrow for a follow up but it’s hopefully gonna be ok.

After a long day yesterday, and another one today, I know I’m going to need to give myself some self care moments - but won’t have a lot of time. So….

“Quick and easy self-care practices (5 to 10 minutes)

Dance: Enjoy moving to your favorite tunes to uplift your mood.

Listen to music: Relax by listening to music you love. Take a break from the daily grind with this Midday Relaxation Playlist — the perfect accompaniment to a lunchtime walk or meditation.

Practice mindfulness: Stay present and reduce stress by being mindful.

Read regularly: Dive into books that stimulate your intellectual curiosity or provide escapism.

Meditate: Set aside a few minutes each day for meditation to help clear your mind and foster a sense of peace and balance.” Calm.com

Self care has been a bit hit and miss recently, so I’m hoping I’m hoping to try out this challenge. Can your self care thing today involve anything from Day 1?
