Self care
Things I am doing:
What self care things are you doing? New or old.
- Putting more planning into what food I eat. Regularly sweating onion and garlic before adding to a pile of other stuff in my slow cooker.
- Not having coffee after 2pm or 'normal' tea after 3pm.
- Switching off my computer and going to bed with a book, in advance of bedtime.
- Cleaning my teeth more often.
- Showering after sports every time, and sometimes showering after I've had a heavy cleaning session even if I've already showered that day.
- Preparing to have a spot of personal training again.
- Thinking about my thought processes around a particular person who makes my blood boil.
- Stopping talking about them to certain people who will encourage me in the blood boiling thing.
- Using the phrase 'I'm not comfortable talking about that' or similar, sometimes using a 'stop' gesture with my hand to accompany it if the person doesn't stop.
- Having a plan about suddenly taking time out when I'm in company, even if that is when I'm in the company of a family I am regularly with.
- Only socialising in places I'm familiar with for the timebeing.
