Hey Brit <3 always great to see a check-in from you! :) How are you doing <3 how was your week? :) *sending hugs*
1.why is self care important? do you practice self care?
Self-care is important because we all must take time to care for ourselves and to take a break from life!! I preach self-care everywhere I go and I do practice self-care myself.. just not as much as I used to hehe.
2. what types of self care do you do? example mental physical etc
A lot! I've really been enjoying meditation lately because the app Headspace is now free for year in my city. I love it a lot and I've been meditating as study breaks. I just finished the Basics 2 course and now I'm moving on to the managing anxiety course and trying to meditate 3 times a day for 10-15 minutes each :) And my physical go-to form of self-care is always working out! :)
3. what are your top 5 self care methods?
My personal favorites are practicing gratitude (towards others or myself), reading, journaling, yoga, and meditation!
4 how are you feeling today
I'm feeling good! I have a debate tournament tomorrow morning that I'm sorta stressed about but it's alright. It's my last tournament of the year which is sorta saddening because I really wanted to go to the physical last tournament of the year (tomorrow's is on Zoom) but this is okay. I'm just a bit stressed because I've had a lot of trouble with being autonomous and forming my own beliefs without being extremely influenced by others ;-; Debate has helped with that a lot but lately in quarantine, with not much debate practice or any debate tournaments, that skill of mine has gone downhill a bit and I'm just nervous for tomorrow in general because a lot of my good debate friends are there as well. :(
Thanks for checking in brit and hope you had a good day
