Self-care challenge: Post your self-care routine!
Hello Hellooo people! 
I hope all is well! ^-^
We sure do know that self-care is so very important for ourselves. It doesn't for how long we practice self-care in our daily routine. It could be 15 minutes, an hour. It depends and it's always an achievement to take some time out of your busy busy day to take care of yourself because you matter and you are important too! 
-Here's a little challenge for you: Post your self-care routine below! 
I'm excited and curious to get to know about your self-care routine

Some things I do for self-care (especially after a triggering chat with a member):
- cuddle with my mouse and let him love me and cheer me up
- write a list of things I'm grateful for until I realize I've got a pretty good life and start feeling better
- take a shower
- play a game or two on my DSi (yes, I know it's old but... it's still works so...)
- make some jewelry
- go skateboarding
- meditate (I like using the MUSE headband for it. It's expensive but if you can afford it I find it super helpful to make me better at meditating)
- go rock climbing or do some excercise
- dress myself up (makeup, nice clothes, jewelry, etc.)
- clean my room really well and then read in my hammock and overlook the clean room (makes me so calm)
Those are some of the things I do. They might not work for everyone but I just wanted to share. :-)
Read
sketch
Netflix and chill
cook
@Zammn
- take a nap
-fix my food schedule, no less than 2 meals per day
- go out and get some sun
- shower
- text someone if I don't feel well
I'm not good at self care yet. But I've been trying with little things. The past week I've been going to bed around 12:00 and waking up at 9:00. I think the consistency has been helping. I can always get myself to brush my teeth in the morning but I've been doing pretty well at washing my face at night and flossing and brushing. I'm going to try to go on walks with my dog everyday but today is rainy and making it hard.
ill write my self care routine that am currently doing.
Reading the Bible, Books on psychology, watching videos on spirituality, singing. Learning something new, listening to motivational speakers, listening to music thats therapeutic,
Things I need to motivate myself to do which fall in this category
Eat proper meals - portion my servings.
Learn to relax
Take a Bubble bath or something
Exercise with more willingness.
Discipline my daily routines.
Learn to control my time doing unnecessary things.
I’ve hit a really rough patch and more than one person has said “Self care! Self care!” And all I could think was they meant I would have to put conditioner in or paint my toe nails and pretend it helped. Since I am alone but with people as a family situation, I have time. I just don’t have the desire to do some sort me-alone thing and hope it helps.
Taking a shower
Drinking water
Getting some sunlight
If I'm able, reading a book
Drinking my meds consistently
Trying to not hate myself and not blame myself for everything.
Taking ice showers
Listening to music (relaxing and calm music)
Thinking about my life goals
Spending time doing Bible studies with friends
Spending time with my family
Reading
Coloring
Taking a shower
Drinking water
Getting some studying done
Simple! Sit back and watch.
@Zammn
