Self-Care Sunday

Unsure of source of image.

So I had to have a look at what self-care Sunday actually is. Basically it is doing all those self-care things on a Sunday. 

Do I do self-care Sunday? Not currently, no. It is an idea that I would like to try though. My Sunday today including taking a 3 hour nap. Is napping self-care? Ha-Ha! I know that I need to start looking after myself better, but given my current living situation, not much self-care is happening. I seem to be having more pain and seem to be doing a lot more than what I had to do with my own child. So yeah, I'm tired. So maybe the nap today was some self-care?

I did dye my hair this morning, so I guess that was another self-care item done. 

I am thinking of having a bath tonight, so that might also be classed as self-care because I love to lay back and just soak in the water. I absolutely love to have a bath, especially a bubble bath with someone rubbing my shoulders. Ha-Ha! 

Here are some suggestions from Google on self-care Sunday ideas. 

1. Skin care routine
2. Read a book
3. Journal your thoughts (well here I am! Lol)
4. Dye your hair
5. Explore your city or town (I love to go to see new places, as I like to 
6. Don't rush your morning wake up (Now this one I like.)
7. Spend some time for yourself. (If only that was possible. Hopefully very soon it will be!)
8. Spend some time in nature (Go for a walk, I love walking and try to do this most days, so this one is an easy one for me!)
9. Move your body. It could be go to the gym or dance. I don't like the gym, but I love to dance so if the music is right, then you can almost guarantee I will be dancing. It is just something that I like to do especially when I need a bit of a pump up. 
10. Get a manicure or pedicure. 

Another suggestion that I did read on Google was to actually meal prep your food for the week. If you are like me and get to the end of the day and can't be bothered cooking much, then this may be a really good idea! I might have to start trying this. 

What do you consider self-care and what do you do to make yourself feel better? Do you have a self-care routine or do you just do what you feel you want to? What things help you prepare your week?

Observe Nature - Kmart Journal Entry

When did you last see the sunset or sunrise? When did you last go for a bushwalk? When did you last swim in the ocean? Describe these times. What's your favourite place in nature - why? Great questions Kmart Journal! Ha-Ha!  The last time that I watched a sunset or sunrise was the about three mornings when I woke up at 4:40am (not sleeping the best at the moment) and couldn't get back to sleep, so I did get to see the sunrise. It was also very peaceful and I find that now that I am waking up a bit earlier, that I am more productive with my day, especially in the mornings. I am going to try and start to get up earlier. I have always been a bit of a night owl, therefore I find it hard to get to bed early and end up sleeping in later.  I haven't been on a bush walk for quite some time, but I do try to walk my dog every day and I get to walk to the waterfront whenever I want!  I am not that fond of creepy crawlies, so I don't like to do many bush walks in case I see a creep...

Saying No - Kmart Journal Entry

How easy is it for you to say no? For myself, I struggle to say to nearly every single person that I come across in my life. I guess you would call me a people pleaser, who also says what she thinks.  I think that the BPD may play a bit of a part in that though.  Ever since I was a little girl I was taught that I should try and help others when I possibly can, even if it means giving the person my last dollar. I can say that doing this has f**ked me up financially more times than I can count! And I truly have tried extremely hard to help every single person that has asked me for help. But lately I am starting to feel like I am just a sucker when it comes to particular people and helping them. It seems like the friendships are very one sided and I seem to be the one always doing the work.  I do know that I have to learn to start saying no, and I am slowly doing it. I am noticing that I am not hearing from particular people, because I am saying no and not jumping to their e...
