When Im in pain—physical or emotional—the kindest thing I can do for myself is listen to some good music and relax. Once my mind is clear enough, I can read or watch a movie.
@WharfRat I love music.
What is your favorite music?
@soulsings I like classical, such as Rachamaninoff's Piano Concerto #2 (the performance with Yuja Wang on piano is incredible, and it's on YouTube). I also like old rock and roll, including the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, etc.
Hello-my 1st day & 1st post also....
I do something I enjoy doing-cooking, watching a movie or get some fresh air & read a book. If i can do something nice for someone else, that always makes me smile. I also remind myself, this will pass-tomorrow's a brand new day.
@purpleCircle7474 Welcome to 7cups.
I like your approach. Nice!

Take healthy food
Exercise
Shower
Sleep or Nap
@soulsings
Hi soul and thanks for all the great responses!
Those are great things to help yourself. I find it very important to stick to healthy food and not to endulge in high fat or high carb foods which can make our pain even worse.
I like to just rest, Take a bath, change into cozy clothes, and watch a movie with some tea.
@Goldcherry2113
awesome Goldcherry, love the idea about a bath, actually planned for lateron
@amiablePeace77 Hehe me too. I'm looking forward to it.
When I am in pain from my ankle is still not all the way better I would do some self care for it.
@Raysofsunshineandrainbow2005
Sorry to hear that your ankle is still giving you trouble, I hope it heals soon (sending you strong healing vibes).
