Something I like most about my weekends is to take some time for myself, have a nice warm bath or give myself a foot massage. Feeling my own self care makes me feel good.


Are you having regular Spa-Days o
r self-care days where you get a massage or do yoga?

hi, Peace,

unfortunately, no. My stress level in my life has been out of control. But I have good news. I got a new job today. It is part time but enough that I think I can continue to live on my own and go to school. I just hope I'm not kidding myself.

Sorry to hear that things are rough rn. I hope working part time will help to get your stress levels down. I realized the more busy I am the more I need self care times to rebalance. Scheduling those me-time (no matter how much is on my plate) helps me.

YES! I'm happy to say it's a yes. I had to finally decide to do some nice things for myself. I was so absorbed on doing everything for everyone else that I lost sight of myself. Now "me time" is a priority. I get my nails done, I get massages, I take myself out for little treats, even if it's just wandering around a favorite store. I need these times and all of it has really helped my anxiety and stress.

I'm just not the spa kind of person...lol. I live in a rural area...not a lot of that kind of thing around here. And yoga... I got my book, I mentioned it in another thread.... Yoga, The Path to Holistic Health, by B.K.S. Iyengar. It's a big, thick book. Lots of illustrations. So I'll try to get in to that more.

@WharfRat

I give myself massages, like massaging my feet, calves, thighs, hands, neck and face. I love in particular massaging the top of my head.

Hi Ami:

I have never been a massage person (have a weird thing about being touched). Haven’t been able to do yoga in years because of my health.

Sorry to hear that you couldn't do yoga anymore. Have you ever tried Tai chi? I find this one is easier than most yoga exercises.

Not regular, but I try to have chill time with my daughters. Regular spa time is a good goal for me.

@einarsgirl

Nice that you enjoy this quality time with your daughters! I hope you will get into the routine of regular spa time. To me it doesn't need to be something big but something to make you feel being taken cared off even if it's only a foot self massage or something similar.

Thankfully I have evenings to myself. During my work week I absolutely enjoy me time even if it's just an hour or two. I like to listen to music, bake, or even just watch the sunset from my balcony. The weekend has pockets of freedom here and there. I have errands, cleaning, and laundry to do weekly but once it's done, I get to do whatever I want to do.

Self-care for me is a walk on the beach, light shopping, or creating a fragrant facial scrub to give me a new glow. I love my me time and know that it's a huge part of my mental health calmness.

Watching the sunset from your balcony must be beautiful and very relaxing! Glad that you make sure you get your me-time to stay calm.

Lovely picture. I could imagine myself laying there, feeling the gentle rays of the sun going down, inhaling the fresh salty breeze from the sea and just chilling out 😉
