I get a day off tomorrow!!

17 What self-care things do you find helpful to ground yourself or “talk yourself down from the ledge” when you’re overwhelmed by your feelings or by stress?

Tea, long fluffy fanfic, sleeping, hanging with my critters.

What tea (or teas) do you like the best?

[adafrog]

Irish Breakfast most of the day, and English Breakfast last cup of the night.

Yep, I love spending time with the family pooch. It's the eyes. Come on Dad, I need a walk or more likely some food.

[adafrog]

lol Always food.

[jusummerhayes]

Me too.

As a vegan, I never get tired of trying new things.

Ju.

Aww yeah my critters are the best for calming/centering myself <3

[adafrog]

Yes. And the meditation I do is in the barn while everyone is eating. :)

[amethyst_witch]

Okay that is SO cool. :)

[adafrog]

:D

Actually, that sounds like a perfect day. And maybe cocoa. And if the day is long enough, possibly a decent movie and popcorn, but neither is a must.

Now enquiring minds want to know: what tea would you choose? ☕️ 🍵

ETA: Never mind, spotted the answer above. Lol. That's interesting as those are both my morning / early afternoon teas. Then I switch to Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Afternoon Earl Grey and black rose tea in the afternoon, and I currently drink a lot of berry teas in the evening. (Although that probably has more to do with trying to actually get some sleep for once.) But I prefer milky teas in the morning and black in the afternoon.

Or do you drink them without milk???

[adafrog]

Very interesting. My hot tea always has milk and sugar in it. Iced tea always unsweet and, of course, no milk.

[adafrog]

Milk and sugar.
Not keen on the 'greys.'

[gingerbred]

Bergamot. *swoon*

[wiseheart]

Good methods - although tea wouldn't work for me. I'm a coffee forever girl - part of the reason I like Ianto so much. *g*
As for fanfic, if you're interested in lots of Torchwood characters (and other Whoniverse characters) being very much themselves but in a totally different universe, walk over to hiddenrealms and have fun. *g*

[adafrog]

Ah. I have friends who are coffee only. My coach will fill up her giant coffee cup in the morning, and I'm always shocked that she doesn't have to pee all day. lol

Torchwood!
