What have you done today to look after yourself?

edited November 2018 in Positivity Corner
Thought we could use this thread as a little space to post positive things that we have achieved each day, that are good for our wellbeing. 

So, for example, today I have watched a film in bed and I washed my hair. I also made the effort to go see my GP, get my blood test done and pick up my medication for the week. 

Today has been a bit of a self care day for me!

What have you done today that to look after yourself?

    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    Does crying count? like it seems sad but i feel i neglect my emotions sometimes and all i need is a good cry, i don't talk or ramble enough so its my way of just calming down x :)
    Crying is a good release even if we feel so awful durig the time of our tears. Crying also is in part, healing. It lets out all those bottled up feelings and it doesn't matter one bit if it's self-pity. Crying is good and I'm pleased that you have been.

    I've had a good boo today. And feel better for it. Also, I did some light exercise, especially on this left leg and it is feeling easier and less painful to walk on.

    Allowed myself to have a little meltdown and then moved on from it :)

    It's good to just let ourselves have that sad or frustrated moment sometimes xo

    Made the effort to have a decent breakfast! Surprising how much difference it makes to the day.

    Giving myself time while having intense emotions/thoughts. 
    Time can really help

    Today in community time I actually had a good laugh with my form tutor even if I was meant to be doing homework. We were laughing because the year 8's are so good at doing blowfish impressions. And also because the year 8's kept cheating in the game.

    I got up a few hours before work to have breakfast, chill, and generally wake up.
