self care progress, anyone?

[unexplainedExplorer]

hello recovery forums! question!

what have you done today to care for yourself? it does not, and never will, matter how minor. know that you are trying, and know that we are proud of you.

All I managed to do today was brush my teeth, drink some water and go out for a walk. The walk was not my idea, more like an obligation, but hey, it's something. More than I usually do for myself, haha. Thank you for being proud of me! I hope you found time to do some things to care for yourself as well today.

don't let it get you down. just a bump in the road, and you can always try again.

also huge! motivation is everything, a lot more than people think. just do as much as you can (while keeping your needs in mind of course) and if you run out of time, bullshit your way through the rest of it. i believe in you though, and i have no doubt you'll get it done!

went to the salon, had a hair treatment and high blow dry. My hair looks so silky and healthy. Did my eyelashes and nails too. Looking pretty is always important to me. It is my little revenge against it all.

I'm one of the few in here who don't hate their looks/body/themselves...prettying myself up is one of the few pleasures left for me. I also won't let the abusers see my suffering...not until I ctb-ed and can't hide it anymore.

Thanks for cheering for me :P

Today im cleaning a bit, hopefully throwing out trash from ripping up carpet from months ago… I'm getting ready to go visit friends in another state after the weekend so i also need to pack for that. I had the strength to tell my boss i wasnt going to come in to the optional shift today since im working a long shift tomorrow and needed to use the time for myself today :)

 

[aukiuo]

i had motivation to clean my ears and wash my face it made me feel good about myself

 

[MidnightDream]

Brushed my teeth. Saw a friend, even though I didn't want to. Did a grocery shop, even though I really didn't want to. Took a bath, started a new book, and then ruined it all by staying up until what's about to be 8am. Oh well. can't have it all

I made myself one of those rice sides you can get at the store for like a dollar, but hey it's better than nothing.
