* Treating myself to an affordable (usually cheap) lunch
* Watching a show that involves animals and/or going behind the scenes at a zoo
* Mindfulness of nature while walking
* Playing relaxing games on my phone
* Laying and/or snuggling under weighted blanket
* Spending time with dogs
* Doing/studying DBT topics and skills

Say no to things that stress me out that aren't my responsiblity or obligation. Set boundaries with friends and family. Take time alone. Drink enough water. Eat healthy sustaining food. Use lotion. Smell comforting smells. Listen to music. Allow myself to lay flat 20 minutes a day. Do at least 10 minutes of yoga a day. Change my socks. Wipe my face with a damp cloth. Regularly check in and take a deep breath and a long exhale. Massage stiff muscles.
@DichotomousDetia This list is amazing! I hope others can see this and get some ideas. Thanks for sharing!
