I’m not really sure how to answer this. What constitutes self-care and what is just general hygiene?
Although I’m vain there are certain things that I don’t make time for. Pedicures are one of them. Only had one or two in my life.
Haven’t had a massage in years.
Oh I suppose I could include my nail appointments as self-care. Because I love long fake nails, always have.
I’ve never ever had a facial or been to a spa.
I dye my own hair, cut my own hair, paint my own toenails.
I think writing is part of self-care. As is my precious alone time each morning to take some deep breaths, practice gratitude.
It’s important to me that I remind myself I am not my thoughts, I can select my thoughts and I need to watch my thoughts. Knowing these things has helped me immensely.
Another busy week ahead and my final week of work before the summer off. Bella-Lena’s birthday tomorrow, my students graduate at the UCN Convocation Wednesday morning and then Cordelia’s high school graduation Thursday. Then I can take a deep breath and relax.
