Cheri’s Connection Corner - Self Care vs Battery 🪫 Life

User Profile: SunShineAlwaysGrateful
SunShineAlwaysGrateful July 24th, 2023

Self care is so important.

It is a necessary part of life so we can continue to do what is required such as looking after others, our obligations i.e. work, chores etc without our ‘battery’ 🪫getting too low.

Do you do regular self care daily or do you complete a crash course when your battery gets too low?? Which is preferred? What types of self care work for you? 💕💕💕

@SunShineAlwaysGrateful good idea not to do things that drain the battery of either you or your phone.

Yes 🙌 everyone generally manages their phone 📞. Everyone needs to manage themselves as well … rest and recharge regularly. 💕💕

Do you do regular self care daily or do you complete a crash course when your battery gets too low?? Which is preferred? What types of self care work for you? 💕💕💕

I completely crash

Being able to sleep is my best self-care

Ever think about more self care along the way so you don’t crash? Sleep is so healing ❤️‍🩹. 💕

Soul. I try to sleep, but night has been my enemy, and during the day, there are things I have to do, so I sleep when I can for short periods. May be a learned response, but I have been tested to find out why I struggle with sleeping even on medications. I fight sleep because of night terrors and body feelings. I have been this way my whole adult life. But it works for the most part😊

I know how to plug in a phone. I wish recharging myself was as easy. Energy is low even if I do little and sleep a lot during weekends and holidays. Obviously very tired after working on weekdays. Sorry to be such a buzz kill.

Yes I understand many are the same. You are not alone we do more for the phone 📞 sometimes bc it is simple act of plugging it in. For our mental health it is not a straight line to what exactly helps for self care…. It is a journey of discovery 💡.


Thank you for sharing and all views are welcomed. Sending positive vibes to you across the miles. 😎😎

Hi, Grateful,

Do you do regular self care daily or do you complete a crash course when your battery gets too low?? Which is preferred? What types of self care work for you? 💕💕💕

I try to do regular self care. But that doesnʻt always work. I need a lot of sleep so I try to let myself sleep as much as I want. I also need to work out for my body and meditate for my mind. I try to talk to people so I can practice socializing. I also use the harm reduction method of controlling my drinking. Iʻm an alcoholic so I keep any drinks I have to one night per week.

I have this bad habit of watching Netflix instead of self-care. So, this is really helpful for me.

Entertainment tv series or movies are a great way to unwind … so that is self care too. You can add lots of various types of self care whichever you prefer.

Ride my motorcycle listening to music.
The best is on a slow slow windy road with minimal cars and plenty of nature.
