In case you do not have any ideas, you are welcome to steal some of my own:
1. While I study today I will be putting on this to listen to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF1eYbfbH5k -- if you haven't seen the movie, do yourself a favor!
2. I will eat two pieces of fruit.
3. Play video games tonight.

Hi @PositivePossum6 thanks for sharing your great idea for this thread. I'm liking the question😊
Thanks for the tag @hanami
Today I nurtured my mental health by deliberately slowing down.
@EternalFlower (I will tag you in some other threads I think are good... What would be your ideal thread topic?... Maybe we can start one?)

Hi there @TAB @PositivePossum6 @Shaz51 @Dimity @EternalFlower @hanami @Former-Member @MDT @maddison @Paperdaisy @Former-Member @Former-Member @tyme and all others joining here today.
Today, I’ve got my essential oils diffuser going in my room to help me with the anxiety I’m experiencing because of a phone call with my case manager this afternoon. Hopefully the oil blend works and I’m feeling calmer before I speak to her later on. I find that essential oils helps with my mental health so fingers crossed they work!
Take care!
Judi9877☺️💐

Thanks for the tag @Judi9877 ❤️
I went for a walk this morning to get a coffee. On my walk I spotted a cat who I see most mornings. We had a big cuddle. His name is Panda Bear and is a VERY BIG black, fluffy cat. And very friendly 😽
I also had 2x dog cuddles at the cafe which also helped.
Overall, I'm feeling pretty yuck today, but I know it will pass. I'm just trying to figure out what the right tool/coping strategy is for today.

Hi @Judi9877 @PositivePossum6
I'm feeling yuck too today @Former-Member & @Judi9877
It happens..bla bla☹️
I like the sound of Panda Bear💜 2 dog cuddles.
Good luck with CM @Judi9877 I get nervous (or need to mentally prepare myself?) When taking with professionals too. You will be ok.
Nurturing myself today, so far, by not moving. I probably need to get up & out - facing the world feels so difficult. I'm ok. No energy.
"Nothing" is nurturing me today I guess.
