This is lovely! I’ve spread myself too thin trying to learn all there is to learn on this path so my self care has been to meditate more, try to focus - I want to learn everything - and working on my very over grown allotment (though the herb garden is an oasis amongst the storm). Will be picking up tips from this thread x

It’s been really lovely seeing all the self-care ideas from everyone. It’s nice to see a different perspective or be reminded of something you’d forgotten. Seeing your post today, I made sure to take some time with my vegetable gardens out back, picking some of the last cucumbers and tomatoes.

Today I took it easy, for real. I slept in and then spent an extra hour in bed reading with Kermit sleeping on me.
I even took a short nap to recharge before dinner.
Planning on turning in early for a productive day tomorrow - so yoga and meditation before bed!

Well I’m kind of late to the party here but I know I have been slacking in the self-care department. These past few months have just been a whirlwind and spending my days just trying to survive. The one thing I have always done as far as self-care goes is my cleansing shower. Now it takes me almost an hour to take a shower because I do a very long prayer of gratitude along with the cleansing. Focusing more on gratitude has really helped me to appreciate everything in life.
Today I went to my doctor’s appointment and rested then had physical therapy then rested some more 
I also ate a meal. I’ve really been struggling just to eat one meal a day. I lost 18 lb in less than 3 months. This is really not good when you have ALS. Also I have no more cushion on my backside so that gets really uncomfortable especially since I sit in my wheelchair all the time. So eating a meal is a pretty big accomplishment for me.

I have been so bad at posting for the Self Care. I’m trying to think about today 
→ I continued to put my cleansed items (everything from each altar, my printer’s box, and crescent moon 
shelving) I still have some smaller pieces. Most of them go in the printer’s box I have hanging up, so I’m excited about that!
→ I took a mini drive along the coastline when I went out earlier
I know that I’m missing something, but I can’t think of anything else right now

That’s is great I went for a ride today and I was talking to my husband and I was talking to him how somebody cut me off and I almost got an accident and when I was looking up this guy cut this other guy off and the other guy sped up, but it was raining and he sped up and turned to the right and the car went out of control and slammed into a tree so I parked my car and thankfully him and his son was OK but they were pretty bruised up! Stay safe
I am so proud of you and your accomplishment that is a huge change and you should be super proud of yourself!
I pulled out of my new deck today was working with runes for the challenge too so I did good glad you’re on task!

Monday I had a doctor appointment, which was good and necessary! I also got to eat three meals a day plus some snacks which is a huge accomplishment for me. My husband and I went to look at wheelchair accessible vans and we picked one that we want. I’m not sure if that was self care but it was fun! I also went to bed early so I got some extra sleep that I needed.
Today I had a few appointments and they went really well today. One of them was getting my new wheelchair seat cushion and now my bum is happier! I plan on taking a long cleansing shower and hopefully do some painting if my hands and arms cooperate.
Tomorrow I am going to get a manicure and pedicure with one of my good friends and it’s always a lot of fun!
