Re: rough time
Lol @Zoe7 im sure he loves you just as much too ❤
Ah yes the dreaded hair brushing. A struggle atm as i cant really use my hand 😕 still gets done most days though
Ok, a list might be helpful that way i can pick on the day as well. Not great organisational skills there but if the list and reminders are in front of me ill be inclined to do them and can do what suits me at the time..

Re: rough time
I think a really simple one is colouring in - you don't need to draw anything but colouring in focuses your mind to the task at hand @outlander One I use is simply sitting in the garden (or at the door in the colder weather) and focussing on one spot. I am lucky enough to be able to see the mountain from my back yard so I often look at the mountain.
Maybe add in things like a nice warm bath, a cup of tea (or whatever you drink) - you can do thinks like laying on the ground and watching the stars in clearer weather or watching the clouds more lately lol
How about a theme to search for eg. blue flowers, red pands (you probably have done that already though lol)... and categorise them into folders on your computer for later reference....

Re: rough time
Helloo @MDT
Im not sure about being a star @Zoe7 but this is helping
Ok so far the list-
--Art- drawing, painting ( ive found fluid art and also abstract art good atm) or colouring in.
--Reading a book
--Watching a movie
-- going to the beach just to watch the waves
-- a hot bath
--themed searches (hmm maybe a folder of things i find soothing would be helpful..)
-- listening to music while either laying down, or sitting outside

Re: rough time
That is a wonderful list @outlander - that is enough for you to choose from for now - you can add things as you go and eventually you will use that list the same way you use other things in your coping box or on your safety plan.
I think you have been a start tonight and you have done a hell of a lot of work - wtg you - I am impressed Hon.
Now what are you going to do tomorrow?

Re: rough time
Thanks @Zoe7
Hmm probably a movie, maybe a drive to the beach ( depends on the weather) A cup of tea outside and/or some form of art sounds like good self care for tomorrow...
Thank you for your help tonight, i really appreciate it. ❤
Speaking of art how is butterfly girl going? . I done a galaxy heart abit earlier today
