ED Self-Care Challenge: Day 2 ( April 30th, 2018)
Hello everyone and happy Monday! I hope you all are enjoying the challenge so far! Again, if you have any suggestions for self-care activities, please comment them. I would love to know.
Self-Care Day 2 Tasks:
- Eat a fruit or a vegtable today
- Smile as much as you can today and try not to let anything get to you
- Do something you enjoy! (see a friend, go somewhere, etc.)
- Make a list of coping skills that help you in case you may need it in the future
@piercetheaiden
coping skills I did for today was send my therapist 2 emails about today's agenda.
@DanaMHH
Yay!
I'll come back with my self-care update later, but a couple that might be good to include during the week
- Take care of a small task you've been avoiding (I have tons of these - things that take 5-10 minutes and hang over my head because I never want to do them)
- Tell someone how you're feeling - honestly, not just saying fine if you aren't
- Take 15 minutes right when you wake up or just before bed to do something that relaxes you to start/end the day well
- Listen to a song that brings back a happy memory
- Make a list of 5 good traits about yourself
- Make a list of 5 reasons recovery is worth it
@Anomalia
I like these ideas! Maybe I will include a few :)
Self-Care Day 2 Tasks:
1. I had a smoothie so that counts as fruit!
2. My cat made me smile :)
3. I will watch a film later, I need to do restful stuff at the moment.
4. I already have my coping/distraction box, I just need to use it more often!
@LittleLotte
Good job! 
- Eat a fruit or a vegtable today - Had a banana with breakfast and salad for dinner!
- Smile as much as you can today and try not to let anything get to you - Definitely a day full of smiles! :D
- Do something you enjoy! (see a friend, go somewhere, etc.) - Started my new dance class yesterday and it was awesome and so fun!
- Make a list of coping skills that help you in case you may need it in the future - Didn't do this yesterday, but definitely have one!
