What have you done for self care today?

Some yoga and meditation, a smoothie and a look at the full moon setting this morning. Acupuncture later today. Will be live group meditating this evening.

Brushed teeth and showered

Took a shower and did my skincare routine.

I walked a lot and exercised. I ate cherries and mulberries.

Did 10 mins of yoga.

Made breakfast and brushed teeth. Took daily pills.

Listened to some sermons to bolster spiritual.

brushed my teeth, washed and moisturised, slept about 7 hrs

I went for lots of walks again, ate cherries and mulberries

Showered, did 5 days if meal prep, painted nails

I guess spending the day at a lavender field should do the trick.

🙂wow @Auri that's so beautiful. I can almost smell lavender through the screen

I'm coming with!! have the best time....

Not much so far today, I've just finished a 4 hour work stint as double priority pay was on offer. I suppose it's self care in a weird way, as it's at least earned a bit more towards the financial pots/issues. But my brain is a bit frazzled now.

I am hoping to take a little walk to stretch my legs and clear my head. I've missed the housework so far but duty called and couldn't justify missing the priority pay. There's still work to do, but I suppose it's self care that I've clocked off as I've done as much as I can.

I went out for my walk in the woods, texted a couple of friends about meeting up. Got in and put my feet up.

The pretty blue there makes me think of the bluebonnets in Texas, of course then for the scenic routes about the county also have to add in the indian paintbrush flowers for a blast of color being seen more and more. A good example of the typical.


The mix is beautiful in the color.

Wow more beautiful colours @KM76710. I'd heard that you can drive past miles of flowers there. Now I want to travel to Texas and (?France?Belgium) or wherever @Auri was when she took that picture, so I can paint my impression of those fields of flowers irl/en plein air. : )

Wow, I've never seen these pictures of Texas! That's amazing, makes me want to go!

Actually the lavender field is in England, Kent (called Castle Farm)! It's about 10 min from our place by car, and I can't believe my husband didn't know about it, having lived here his whole life. Though I've heard of other lavender fields in the Cotswolds, too. There must be a few all over the country.

I didn't take that specific picture (Google), but it's accurate. It was very sunny and beautiful when we went. I suggest going early - less people. I took many pictures to paint as well, I'm not sure what the policy is about painting inside the field.

Oh, that's such a great place to have just 10 miles from where you live. Next year, if things are going smoothly personally and globally, I might get to do some exploring of Scotland and England.

@Auri your post inspired me to search around here for lavender farms. There are some huge fields up north of me, about 5 hours' drive. Best of luck with your paintings!

Making all the plans, running all the errands and packing for my trip to Santa Fe NM and Sedona AZ. Heading out on Wednesday...This trip is going to be amazing and very much a self caring thing for me to be doing.

Absolutely beautiful.
