Re: Self Care Activities
Self care can be anything. It doesnt have to ne extravagant. It really could be something as simple as a cup of tea but here are some others
-painting finger or toe nails
- manicure/pedicure
-going to the hairdressers even for a wash/blowdry
-massage including self massages such as feet hands or neck to relieve some tension
- crosswords, soduku or findaword puzzles
-jigsaw puzzles
-crochet, knitting or cross stitch
-putting nice fresh sheets and quilt covers on.
-reading a book or magazine of some kind
-listening to music
-journalling
-meditation
Just putting a few ideas out there

Re: Self Care Activities
Learnt this lesson again over the last few days: I haven't been walking enough, and my mood has gone down. Walking not the only factor, but it's significant...
All too easy to avoid in the colder months, but I must get back to it
