Self-care Toolkit

I agree @avant-garde I must say I closed down my social media accounts the other day and the digital detox feels amazing. I also cancelled my Age newspaper subscription and read it online from my local library at my leisure. I am noticing a calmer disposition and it frees up more time to do things around the house.

I have a ghost Facebook account just to check on my mum but that's all it is, a ghost, no friends, empty feed, no real name, just to check on my mum

I don't have Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat...

I haven't had any of those for years

Absolutely love this @Chantarelle - I recommend shredding paper sometimes as a way to express anger in a non-destructive way! Bonus points if you write some yucky thoughts on em before you rip em up. Something to be said for the ritual of it I think 😉

Hello and welcome @Chantarelle

A little tip is to put a @ In front of members names so they can receive your message and reply back to you

Hello @avant-garde , @SmilingGecko , @heartathome , @LostAngel , @Lapis_Anteater , @Jynx

Hey @Chantarelle That's a great idea to keep in the car, especially in traffic. Those directories, phone books and newspapers were good for that. I went to an anger workshop many years ago and we got to throw plates at a brick wall. It was so therapeutic! 😆 💛

I'd probably get a magnifying glass and watch it burn

Hi @avant-garde

Love the discussion topic.

A few of the essentials in my kit would be online chess (absolutely love it), youtube videos of historical and political lectures, and my contact list that I can connect to.

Season's greetings to you.

I forgot to add ice packs to my toolbox my friend @avant-garde 😊🥶🧊
