What have you done for self care today?

[AvidFan]

I went out for a little walk.

I brushed teeth and been eating a bit more today. I enjoyed an ice cream.

I have ignored self care entirely! ^^

What affirmations do you use?

I took some of the stuff said to me by abusers, and took a look at them side-on. Rather than the opposite, which is a point that exists along that same line (a line to be abandoned), I formed a completely new context and a few descriptive words to remind me of it. I don't have specifics because they wouldn't apply to anyone but me. It's like; things I'd believe automatically if I didn't have certain kinds of damage. Good things from a different ethos.

Quite a few things - meditated for first time in ages, walked to Morrisons and got some bargain remaindered food, and cleaned the kitchen as it was getting a bit grimy, now I have nice gleaming draining board and cooker.

Meditated

Remembered to do some breathing practice when anxiety crept up. Minds can change, heal and strengthen.

Today is a birthday anniversary of a lifelong spiritual teacher so I started with yoga and meditation and have been listening to chant music all day while doing a lot of task work as I remember and honor the gifts learned from this man. Healthy foods, lots of water, a few hours of outdoor time sprucing up the yard and repotting a bunch of plants.

I fasted until returning from a walk this morning.

 

[cev77]

Used grounding exercises when I was stressed

 

[Lane]

Been walking 2 miles a day.

 

[AvidFan]

I ate some muesli. The basics are about as much as I can manage at the moment, I am just trying to keep myself alive through this wave of crap.

 

[LumberJack]

I did meditation and then cardio workout first thing today

I saw my PCP (primary care provider, he is a Physician Assistant as opposed to a Physician) about my lungs and vit D levels. Got a quick blood draw for the latter, and an x-ray for the former. I am proud of myself for not procrastinating.

I am reassured that it’s not a big problem, but at the same time I would love some symptom relief because it’s really scary to have a challenge with breathing.

I went for a run and fed myself. Now I'm going to treat myself to a quiet couple of hours on the sofa watching light hearted things.
