ED Self-Care Challenge: Day 1 (April 29th, 2018)
Hello and welcome to the long-awaited 7 Day Self-Care Challenge! How this challenge is going to work is each day I am going to post some self-care tasks you will have to do (probably around 3-5 tasks per day). In the comments you will talk about your experience with completing the tasks, how you feel after doing them, and anything else you would like to add! You can also leave suggestions for self-care tasks for me to add! Are you guys ready for Day 1?
Day 1 Self-Care Tasks:
1. Stay off of technology for 30 minutes today and try and get some fresh air.
2. Paint, draw, or write in a journal.
3. Let go of unreleased anger and sadness today.
I will give this a go as I really need to take care of myself better right now.
Day 1 Self-Care Tasks:
1. I definitely stayed off any tech for more than 30 minutes while I had a long, well-needed, rest in bed. I got lots of fresh air yesterday while walking around during the goth festival (which is why I'm exhausted today) so I'm going to hope that counts for today!
2. I've been away all weekend, so today I'll have a quick catch up in my journal with how things went.
3. Trying to release some sadness with some sad music to help me.
@LittleLotte

@TinyCactiGarden
Ok!
@piercetheaiden This is an awesome idea :3 Will try it out <3 Btw thanks for it <3
@Pureriver55
No problem!
Hi Pierce,
Well, I just saw this now (12:15 am on Monday Apr 30th) but I would like to join. So I will start with day one - April 29 - tomorrow (well technically today = Monday). Good idea btw, I like this idea. Especially because the ED I have is beating up on me recently. So with this challenge the Heathy K, healthy part of me, will get stronger to beat back against ED again in this battle. ED vs HK, yup. Okay so ttyl - tomorrow. Thanks again - great idea! <3 Platy
@piercetheaiden
Psssst .... yes, Healthy K is same as Healthy P - K for my true first name, P for Platy. In counseling though, we always talked about HK so ... yup.

I hope this helps out a bit!
1. Stay off of technology for 30 minutes today and try and get some fresh air. - I did this by sleeping most of the day due to my migraine.
2. Paint, draw, or write in a journal. I colored
3. Let go of unreleased anger and sadness today. I did this by crying.
@DanaMHH
That is great to hear!
1. Stay off of technology for 30 minutes today and try and get some fresh air.
Had book club brunch yesterday and hung out on my porch deck with my new roommate and her parents afterwards in the (FINALLY) sunny day!
2. Paint, draw, or write in a journal.
Didn't do any of this, but I did have a cappela rehearsal, so I got a creative outlet there instead
3. Let go of unreleased anger and sadness today.
Something I very much needed to do yesterday. Felt some ongoing bitterness creeping up between me and a friend, took a deep breath, and let it go - it was something small that I was letting become something bigger than it needed to be. Saving my anger for something more worth it! :)
@Anomalia
That is great!
