I just started getting into new strategies to self-care and ground myself. I’m curious if anyone else has their own strategies or activities that help them?
I’ve started lighting scented incense sticks, using different essential oils, meditating a few minutes every few days with a singing bowl. I also found an app for scheduling/mood tracking called Lunatask, so I’m trying to do that a bit too

I focus on only achieving one goal. If I achieve it or more I'm winning, but if I don't it's not the end of the world and I'll try again tomorrow. I agree it's healthy to let my body feel how it feels

@DaeSayuki hahah i've actually visited a few Witchy stores and they've got some interesting bits and bobs in there! will look for 'Tibetan singing bowl', i feel like amazon hasn't failed me yet so will search it there - thanks for that!
that makes sense! i used to go gym with my friends which helped with the motivation but they had a change in schedule so now going alone is a lil less fun. i'm actually going to try out some Pilates classes next week so if i do end up liking it, i might do that instead of gym whenever i feel unmotivated.
hope life's been treating you well!!

I do like a wood fire @DaeSayuki - it's cosy in winter and provides exercise chopping, carting and stacking wood! And that work also keeps you warm in winter.
Although many people like fireplaces they are not so keen on the associated work 😂

@Celestia1 That’s so true. While I’m drowning in tears, it’s hard to do the basic things to take care of myself. Balance is everything! Thank you for sharing ❤️ it’s very helpful to know

Ohh I had no idea people don’t like fireplace for the upkeep.
I wish it was cold enough here in my neck of the woods to justify a fireplace. It beats watching the fire crackle on a long YouTube ASMR video hahaha
