My favorite way to self-care is...

I love to be able to paint my nails. I can take my time to make sure each coat dries, and that gives me the time to sit in peace and quiet :)

@Kate Television to start with, after that ipod with my books on them.

@Kate

I write stories, and create characters that go through pretty close to the same things if not worse things than I do. Odd I know, but i've found that it's one of my best coping/escape mechanisms.

@Kate Good strong YOGA. Puts me more in touch with my body and makes me not want to harm this miraculous machine for a second.

Bubble bath and do face masks ^^

My favorite way to take care of my self is to take my doggo for a run. She's a very good girl! Then I like to take a long shower or better, a fancy bath

Sleeping or just having some time to myself where I can draw, listen to music etc

For the winter months:

-heating up wheat bags

-eating warm food

-taking a warm shower

-putting on lots of layers of clothing

-making sure I get out of the house at least once during the day

-drinking water

-working on cleaning my room

-positive affirmations

-Journalling

-yoga

-taking time to validate myself and my emotions

I like to turn on a jazz backing track and just improvise on my alto sax. It feels good to just lose myself and mot care how it sounds.

I also do face masks a lot and try to keep my room clean, and I make sure to play with my pet dog and rabbit a lot which makes me happy. I also use photography to express myself, and editing my pictures is a good way to keep busy and waste time if I need it.
