What have you done for self care today?

Worked out despite being tired from packing and cleaning. Tomorrow I tackle the blinds in our bedroom, call the insurance company and try to get a permit for the electrical work we need to have done in the new unit. Bit by bit, the tasks are getting done.

I brushed my teeth! 😁

cold showers can be healthy and healing

I had the death and what to do after conversation with my friends who will be taking care of things after I go, it's been needing to happen for awhile and it went well. I'm relieved and much more at ease about it all. Very much a self care accomplishment.

Finally painted the bathroom. It is self care because the enjoyment of showering & baths will be much improved. So it's a 2 for 1: self care & "what I accomplished today."

I tried to meditate. In 45 minutes I managed to get from 1 breath to 10 breaths approximately 1 time. The rest of it, my mind was just going through solutions to things. So I played an audio hypnosis stress relief thing instead and actually relaxed for half an hour. Maybe I should do it every day instead of just once a week, might be more helpful than meditation right now (I'm an experienced meditator and can usually go 3 hours without a thought popping into my head but that ability seems to have collapsed in the midst of multiple problems, along with the fact I lapsed in my practice when things started going south).

I also ran a 5k. Put warmer clothes on as it was 15C but the sun was out and I overheated a bit.

Got up, washed my hair & had a shower, ate breakfast. I defied other thoughts & pulled gratefulness seemingly out of thin air.

I researched medications prescribed related to medical diagnosis. Walked 2 miles with out the dogs, felt nice in the current fall temperatures. Cooked some curry cauliflower dal this morning and made an 8 inch organic gluten free chocolate chocolate chip cookie, in a cast iron pan....not exactly healthy but fun to see how it would turn out....will have a bite and then freeze the rest for the possibility of having a chocolate craving sometime in the future

Went to bed early the last two night and slept later. Asleep by 10:00 both nights and waking up by 7:00.

cleaned up the house. self care because it was making me feel overwhelemed.

Slept for 9 hours. Trying to give myself more time to rest. Then make sure that I shower everyday and brush my teeth. I also just trimmed my fingernails and toenails. I prefer them short most of the time.

Well, since I had a very very bad cold with fever and chills, self-care couldnt go further than sleeping the whole day.

Took a nice long relaxing nap.

Went for a gentle 40 minute jog. Enjoyed it, apart from tripping and nearly going flat on my face

Did a bit of using the rowing machine for about 30 minutes.

I'm back to reality today. One step at a time..
I'm still here existing. I showed up to work.

Drinking some juice

Listened to some good music

Got a good night’s sleep
