Hello everyone, @Shaz51 @Bunniekins @ENKELI @tyme 

I learnt a concept from my high school Japanese teacher several years ago: it sounds simple, yet practically can be very complicated if you let it. Balance. 

So for me, self-care is about balance and moderation. A balanced diet. Balanced daily activity: going for a walk or other exercise after desk work. Balanced thoughts, avoiding too much rumination or worry, relaxing these with self-compassion and gratitude. Balance of sleep, work and play/leisure. It all sounds good in theory, but takes a certain measure of discipline. 

And then, sleep hygiene. I have been putting away my phone an hour before bedtime, which is why I've been spending less time here. 

See what I mean? Simple in theory, more challenging to execute!

What do you think?

@Spirit_Healer  hey Spirit_Healer that is a system that i am working on and have been doing for some time.  baby steps .... baby steps i think is the key and consistancy where possible.  thank you for including me.  bunnie x

@Bunniekins darling heart you have other talents than cooking. Hope you're doing well my sweet Bun Bun xoxo

@Spirit_Healer definitely difficult to put into practise but definitely worth it if you can. 

I think my biggest problem is that I have no energy or motivation so I rely on "easy" - premade meals for example.

Thanks for sharing, I hope to get motivated as soon as my physical health improves.
