I spent a few days with I, and then a few more with JD. Here's things people do to take care of themselves. Self care is so very important, and making yourself feel better is not being lazy or wasting time. It's hard to appreciate that, specially when you've been fed with the bs of attempting productivity always without consideration of your emotional wellbeing.
- Drink hot water and/or herbal tea
- Spend hours and hours on putting on makeup, if only to make it impossible to go back to bed.
- Live by a strict timetable.
- Draw/paint, even if the outcome is miserable.
- Playing video games
- Going out on long runs
- Going out on long comfortable walks
- Meeting new people/going out on dates
- Reading light books
- Talking to friends/family on the phone for hours.
And if it makes me feel good, and take a reset, see the life in a new light, help me get my shit together, why not, even if it's by itself not too productive. I need to remind myself this. Self care is important, I need to be on it.
