What Are Your Self Care Goals?

Get doc's cooperation in reducing my meds

I hope they're helpful

 

[Innocent Forever]

I'm thinking that having a self care goal might actually be helpful. Just there's nothing I'm ready to commit to. I like this thread for it's brought it up in my mind.

It can be a help especially with the examples that all present which can inspire something that works for another person.

Well I've lost 20 pounds, so that's a good start. Just need to keep going on that path. Also need to start taking better care of my teeth, because I never want to have this kind of pain and infection again.

I hope the pain & infection go away very soon witty. I know what that’s like, I had an infected wisdom tooth years ago. It was horrible.
Sending lots of healthy thoughts (& please take extra vitamin C).

I need to finish my diazepam taper and finally get off the stuff. I need to stop eating absolute rubbish (mainly sugar but also potato chips and fries). I've lost 10 pounds in the last year but it can go back on too easily. I need to improve my sleep. I need to keep up my exercise but not push it too much (and need to add some weights and core to the running!). I need to find a better balance between work and life, I've had a crazy 12 months with nearly losing my house and stressful cat adventures, along with a very high workload, and it needs to be less intense if I want to keep working and maintain my financial position, especially as retirement is a distant dream! Gosh, a lot to work on there. Also less screen time, I seem to be searching for random information all the time instead of getting into flow states, which make me feel calmer.

Thank you, it's really a horrible feeling. The swelling is still bad but pain is very minimal today. Hopefully I can afford the dental care I need so this won't become an issue again.

I need to start eating a healthier diet. I used to eat healthy food. Now I mainly eat take out and junk food. Some days I am so depressed I barley eat, because it seems like too much effort.

Updating my goals
Nightly hygiene routine
Go to work today
Meditate daily
Eat better again.

 

[puffymilk]

Shower everyday
Do my morning and night time skincare routine, no skipping
Trying to get better sleeping pattern but it's really hard since I don't have a job, so there's no schedule, I have nothing to do

 

[Anchorchain]

Start and keep up with more upper body and core muscle building exercises. I do bicep curls with 5 lb weights and am up to 100 reps with them. I do 2 lower body strength exercises every morning and I do a 30 minute cardiorespiratory workout on the stationary bike every evening that boosts my heartbeat up to about 110. I added each of those routines to my repertoire one at a time so that it's a regular, habitual practice. So next, I should add just one new exercise for now......something simple like pushups. My shoulder injury is mostly healed now so what am I waiting for?
Diet? I think it's pretty darn healthy but I've added more protein.....chicken breasts alternating with sardines in olive oil.

 

[puffymilk]

Get better sleep

 

[Livelife]

Long walks daily when it's cold out .....easy to do when warmer....

- Shower daily. Luckily it’s easy to get this done because I am pretty greasy after work.
- Brush teeth daily. A little harder. That happens every few days I’d say.
- Do yoga. It always helps but I don’t always have to energy to do it.
