The ABCssss of Self-Care! 🥰
Hey hey everyone, hope this post finds you doing well. 💛
Care to join me in this collaborative game where we build an alphabetical list of self-care activities, tips, or concepts? 🥰
How to play?
Each person will contribute one item, starting with the next letter of the alphabet.
Here's how it works:
I'll start with 'A'.
The next person will share a self-care idea that starts with 'B'.
Then 'C', and so on!
You can share anything that helps you feel better, recharged, or more balanced. It can be a physical activity, a mental practice, an emotional strategy, or anything else that falls under your definition of self-care. 💛
Consize answers are welcome, but feel free to add a tiny bit of context if you like (e.g., "M - Meditating for 5 minutes, helps clear my head!").
If we get stuck on a letter, someone can jump in, or we can collaboratively brainstorm for that letter. If we complete the alphabet, we can always start over or pick a new topic!
All set? 💛
I’ll begin with “A”
A- Affirmations
The next person seeing this, please share a self care activity or idea starting with the letter “B” and don’t forget to tag your 7 cups peers to join the fun-care!
Together let’s build a list of self-care ideas for the community! 🥰
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou I'd have to pop by on x 🤣🤣 I'll have to say remember Xmas is just around the corner, that's always uplifting 😁💜
@Amanda84 this probably means that I should think of something that starts with Y xx I believe that two things I can think of are Yard work and Yarn. Yard work meaning spending time in nature, taking flowers, garden, animals and plants. Yarn meaning crocheting which is something that relaxes me a lot, all of these activities are so relaxing and wonderful!
@Aec619 very good, I don't knowt alphabet, because I skipped w 😁 but that's done now 🥰💜
@Amanda84 lol I dread letters X, Y and Z too but it’s so fun to see what everyone comes up with these too! 🥰
More ideas are always welcome and omigosh yessss, I’m a firm believer that Christmas is a mindset and reminding self that Xmas is near can be truly so uplifting at times! Good one, Amanda! We started the game again so hopefully you’ll see at the time of another letter this time lol or just subscribe to the thread and add one whenever! 🫂💖
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou thanks , saw the thread, a great idea, just thought x came before w, you know yourself 🤣💜
@Amanda84 lol so this thread is serving a dual purpose of reminding us to engage in self-care anddddd revising the alphabet! 😂💖
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Yes, who needed school 💜🥰
Is it W's turn?
Warm coffe and Watching the sun rise. Wow both are W lol 😂.
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Z- for zipping down that road, living life and filling your day with moments of pure excitement 💜🥰
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
This is so interesting and through a game we learn so much😍💕 Thankyou Sunshine for sharing this! It was a great treat! I will post something when I remember 😉
@resilience2025
Super happy to know you like it, Resiiii! 🥰 It’s true, learning can be made even more fun in a game-format and I’m so glad everyone contributed with such wonderful ideas on self-care! 💖
We even finished one round of alphabet which means we have almost 26 awesome ideas for self-care hehe!
Time to begin again! 🥳
I’ll start with A again lol!
A- Aromatherapy 🥰 for those once in a while self-care Saturday nights with candles and essential oils to calm ‘em nerves and soothe my soul!
Ooh and this reminded me of @SparkyGizmo the pioneer believer and practitioner of aromatherapy hehe! 💖 Join us in the game SparkySparkkk! 🫂🥰
Person after me, please continue with B! 💖
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
B- breathe in and spend time in nature, revitalising yourself and not always rush by the beautiful flowers and trees 💜🥰
@Sunisshiningandsoareyou
Hi Good Day Sunshine! 😊 ❤️
Wooo - hooooooo!!! Thank you for remembering me and oh yes, indeed....I love aromatherapy as a part of self care! Will be taking a hot bubble bath today and with some extra love for myself by throwing in a "bath bomb" too!
Afterwards, hey now, I'll be lighting a scented candle to truly transition from the work day to relaxation time. Serenity now.....serenity now! 😁
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
@SparkyGizmo
You’re in my thoughts often, SparkyySparkkk and I feel instantly uplifted whenever I think about you~ which also means that you have someone wishing for your well being so very often! 🫂💖
Omgeee and that sounds absolutely relaxing! 🥰 Bath bombs are the best haha and yayy for letting your mind and body rest and soak in the serene vibes! 🥰
Biiiig hugs and high fives back! 💖💖💖
