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?

Two Word Check-In - Kmart Journal Entry

Check in with yourself using just two words. How are you doing today? Do it three times throughout the day, and use the space to illustrate your words to reflect the mood. Morning Motivated, Positive Midday Emotional, Blessed Evening Cranky, Pain  Isn't it amazing how by the end of your day, it can be turned around 180 degrees!! So this morning I was motivated and feeling really positive. By the end of today, I am cranky and in so much pain that I am almost about to lose my s**t! But I actually sat down and wrote in my journal for a few hours to try and get some of the frustrations out that I have and it actually felt good to write it all down. Cleansing in a way, I guess. I am trying to learn to write it down and once I have written it down, I am trying to learn to let it go. Yeah, just like Elsa sang! Ha-Ha! So maybe I need to write in there a bit more tonight, to try and get rid of some more frustrations.  I feel like I had a very productive day and now I am in...

Chris Watts Case

I think that the reason so many people are drawn to this case may simply be because of how tragic the story actually is. How can a man take out his family like that? And to not show remorse. I do believe that there was something major going on, I just think that we will never know what truly happened. I honestly don't think that Chris will ever be fully honest about what happened that night. I do feel like he is protecting someone or something else, but no clue as to what. I feel so much for Shanann's family, I can't imagine the heartache they have to bear each day. Having had a brother that went to prison, I can understand why his family do contact him still and why. He will also be their son and brother/uncle and as a mother, our love is unconditional. He may have wiped out his entire family, but he will always be their loved one too. I think this case will have unanswered questions and there will always be these conspiracy theories regarding it. I literally have tried to...

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...
