Hey Pandas, What’s Something You Do For Self-Care? (Closed)

Naps! Journaling, counseling, take a drive with music loud, baths.

Clarinet practice and rehearsals.

Dance. I'm a professional ballet dancer (when I'm not studying for college), and I use my garage as a studio (sort of, i have a barre)

I crochet!

I get a bath bomb from Lush and then I take a really long bath. Another thing I do is talk to my girlfriend, they're really supportive and help me feel better about myself.

Read books , paint and listen to my fav songs

Going to the gym with some good music. Ultimate self care for body and mind.

from Saturday night, say 10pm till Sunday night, I switch off my phone and binge watch movies.

Withdraw...sometimes I can't deal with people and just need to be surrounded by silence.

Not be around people.

I make a cup of hot tea with honey and I snuggle with one of my kitties. Never underestimate the power of a good cup of tea.

Practise to be patient.

Pick good friends and go to church

It's strange, but pastel pink. Wearing pastel pink, pastel pink bedsheets, and pastel pink stuffed animals! Especially bunnies ^^ I know it's probably not considered self-care, but what's weird about me is dark colors, even in small quantities make me sad for some reason, so I basically have to wear pastels!

I take off my shoes and socks and walk around barefoot on the rug and make fists with my toes.

Play my instruments, sing, read, and sleep. That’s all I have to say

I feed my small fish in my little pond, I look at how all my plants are growing. I go for a very fast long walk by the ocean.

I eat the best I can 95% of the time. I exercise a lot mountain biking, walking, hiking. I stay away from people! Get 6 to 8 hours of sleep per day although my schedule is all over the clock. I listen to music all the time and do plenty of singing, dancing, and whistling in Solitude. I draw cartoon strips and write in an ongoing saga (by hand). I stay away from drama and set rock solid boundaries for my own safety and peace of mind.

It may sound simple, but I started owning my accomplishments, and praising myself when I deserve it.
Many people beat themselves up when they mess up, but when they do something good, they just brush it off like it doesn't matter. It leaves people with poor self esteem and low confidence.
So now I say, "I did a great job, I'm proud of me!"

Try empty my mind. Don't allow verbal thoughts.

Also, keep my phone permanently on silent. If you need me, text. If you are phoning, it's just an emergency that YOU think is an emergency. If it's work, no, it's not an emergency. If it's life-threatening, well, it will take me at least 30 minutes to get there so you'll be dead by then... so ... no there really is no point to phoning.
