What Are Your Self Care Goals?

Hopefully things have been better for you.

In an effort to care for my mental health ive devoted Saturdays to myself. I work like crazy and devote my weekends to my home and property. For the past two weeks ive spent Saturday lazing on the couch watching cable....eating more lol i do feel better

To be able to stop consuming soda/sugar as treatment for my chronic constipation.

To disengage from horrible community groups in local area I have been referred and stick to activities at home that I prefer to do instead that don't make my depression worse.

Improve my posture. I tend to walk with bowed head, turned-in shoulders and stooped upper torso. Probably an expression of poor self image and sense of unworthiness. Seeing my reflection in shop windows as I walk in public, I'm appalled. When I stand up straight I think I look OK but it feels like I'm sticking my chest out in some kind of self important Mussolini caricature.
Keep up my regular but relatively low intensity cardio walking and stair climbing.
Start and keep up daily with some stretching and bending calisthenics....I'm aging, I don't want to be a hobbling-around stiff jointed old man.
Increase my regular but relatively low intensity resistance weight lifting.....I'm aging and I want to resist the loss of muscle mass.
My diet is OK......I'm comfortable with its healthiness and I actually enjoy eating it every day. My doctor enthusiastically approves of it too.

It'd be nice if my inner mental landscape, self confidence and mood department was as manageable as my physical health.

I no longer work at night, I’ve slept through the night and I have a day off. My kitchen is clean. I clear papers off my table, find something to watch for a few minutes, and review my notes on a topic I care about. I’m able to eat without wondering the severity of the headache the ingredients will cause me and the hours of a day reappear.

It’s my dream and I’m changing everything so I can have this.

I want to eat a more balanced diet, I’m taking lamotrigine which seems to make me crave carbs and sugar. I want to change my eating habits so that it will help with my mental health as I know there is a link between a healthy diet and brain health. I also want to move more as I find myself sitting a lot when I’m not looking after my young son. I think these things might work but it’s hard to find the motivation right now.

I had a much-needed shower today. Finally got in there.

I want to eat consistently.
Drink more water.
Exercise more.

Keep therapy up.
Recognise pre-burnout signals.
Dont absorb others emotions.
Keep my space boundaries.

Keep my exercise consistent.
Self care.
Find work at home job.
Let go of the bad stuff from the past.

I only have 3 goals right now to get back

1 eat proper meals not had a full meal in 3 days
2 hoping that the constipation I have also will stop
3 get a full nights sleep or at least more than 2 hours wake up for 2 hours sleep for 2 and so on

Getting back to the gym after this 4 month break
Back to daily yoga practice constantly
Increase calorie intake and return to vegetarian

@Livelife constant yoga sounded kinda out there lol
Nice to hear goals & inspiring too

My diet's pretty healthy and I enjoy eating it every day, so that's easy to just keep on doing, especially since there aren't very many things I actually enjoy.
Exercise? OK, I've been slacking off on that. I'm gonna get back to building up my lower body strength with squats again. And upper body strength with pushups. Starting tonight. And I'll install a pullup bar in the doorway between my bedroom and the family room. On the achieved every day scoresheet, I walk 2 miles every day.....that's pretty easy and good for my head & attitude etc. With the onset of winter I guess it'll be back to the stationary bike in my basement......but if I dress warm enough i can go outside for the 2 mile, 1/2 hour walk if the temp isn't below 20* F.

From on today and specially after April i wont forget perfume and hair straightner. Might sound basic but gives a huge confidence boost.

Maintain consistency with taking meds
Eat properly
Be more active
Sleep

Get doc's cooperation in reducing my meds

Totally not basic. Good luck!
