Today for self care I actually read a whole novel, and pottered in my vegie garden! Feels so good to see plants growing from seed. Heart

Walking is great for stress and if you can get into the bush even better

Re: Today for self-care I...

I love getting out into the bush too @PapaBill , if I can walk near the water in the bush , with some good music or a podcast, it can turn most bad days around. My 10.5 year old likes to pretend she's too cool for bushwalks, but always loves it when we get out there. 

 

Today for self-care I downloaded a new podcast series (the Dropout. AMAZING), and walked to work from the station. My new year's resolution is to get back into running, but the smoke in the air in Sydney doesn't make that feel very appealing at the moment.

Re: Today for self-care I...

Today for self-care I am remembering to be kind to myself - to stop stressing about little things that aren't perfect in the lead-up to Xmas, jobs I wanted to do that but haven't, and just relax, and enjoy some chilled out time with my family.

Today for self care, I went to the dog beach early in the morning with my daughter and our new member of the family (of two weeks), our 9 month female Great Dane at 47 kg. Our new family member is caring, affectionate, very loving and great for our mental health.
