Hi @Jelly,

I think that is such an important one- cancelling plans. Sometimes we just need some time.

 

What is your relationship with self care?

 

I've started to build more self care in my life and feel like I have a good relationship with self care. But it wasn't always that way, I used to feel guilty for doing self care. Now I know that to be the best support I can be to others, I need to first look after myself 

 

And if you are building self care into your day, what do you enjoy doing for self care? (feel free to share as many creative ideas as you would like)

  • Art projects
  • Walks
  • Photography
  • Taking a bath
  • Saying no when I need to
  • Setting boundaries with friends and family
  • Having rituals to log on and log off work
  • Cleaning the house
  • Taking "me" time 
  • Writing in my strengths journal
  • Being by the water 
  • Bushwalking
