When you reflect on 2018 how would you rate your self-care on a scale of 1 to 10? I started at 0 and ended at about a 6
What are your goals for self-care for 2019 on a scale of 1 to 10? I'd like to reach a 7 or 8 on a consistant basis.
What could you do to achieve it? Work on being mindful. Work on not judging myself so harshly. Recognizing that I deserve social time with friends. Learning to say no.
I did the exercise as well. It gave me a sense of calm.
@MissPen
Pen, that's nice to hear, what about including it into your daily routine?
@amiablePeace77 I
@MissPen
Pen, 7 to 8 on a constant basis sounds good and also in particular not judging yourself so harshly. You are awesome as you are!💚
@amiablePeace77 awww, thank You 😊

I would say it was a 7. I had some ups and downs through the year.
What are your goals for self-care for 2019 on a scale of 1 to 10?
10 - I made a promise to do self care at least 3 times a day
What could you do to achieve it?
Keep the goals I have set for myself
@pamharley003
Pam, sounds you are becoming an expert in it and that is truly helpful to keep you healthy for all challenges to come.
I will try to follow your path in this year
My self care for 2018 was an 8. My goal for 2019 would be to not fall below an 8. I will accomplish this by continuing to do all the things that got me to an 8.
My self-care last year was at an all-time high. I did many things that helped me take care of myself
This year, I plan to do the same thing again, only more of it.
My job moved away may of 2018, and I am still out of work. I would give myself a 5 out of 10, better than my usual, for self care last year. It is lovely to have time to exercise, and meditate, and just waste time without care. But no money coming in is a huge problem that must be faced ASAP. Sigh.
@Chickadee123
Financial problems are stressing, hope you get a job soon.
Exercise and meditation are truly great tools, I would be happy to hear at the end of the year that your number went up. Btw What's your favorite exercise?
@amiablePeace77 I want to make sure I find a balance of things to do to help others and things to help myself. It is not easy finding that just right place, almost like walking a tight rope.
@soulsings
Balance is the key, true. Soul, I am working on it too, Whilst loving what we do is nice and helpful we also need to take time for ourselves. Thanks for the reminder.
